    Is it still the same brakes or it gets the brakes of the 390?

      Hi,
      Is it confirmed the abs is switchable?

        It gets ABS on the same existing brake setup, still featuring 300mm front discs and 230mm rear discs,
        ABS is fully switchable with this exact setup matching the older 2013-2016 D390 and 2014-2016 RC390 (with a hidden button under the SET button).

        Either both wheels off or on, no SuperMoto mode where only rear can be switched off.

        "Simply disengage the ABS to go full beast-mode!"

          As Bhpian pointed out, the D250 gets a dual-channel. The front rotor size is300 mm and not 320 mm and it would be best to visit the showroom to see in actual, if the ABS is switchable or not.

          Cheers!

          Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
          The girl said, 'NO!'


          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


          THE END

              The Dukes all have a similarly sprung setup. They are more or less the same when it comes to the feedback, though the newer ones soak bumps slightly well.

                On my 390 i think its quite good. You will get all the feedback but will also soak up a lot of bumps.

                Compared to my previous r15 v1, I think it offers better comfort and equal feedback if not more. Feels like its a sophisticated unit. But if you want soggy, feedback free suspension that insulates you from road completely, this is not it.

                      Go for white, it looks different from the crowd-bangers, gives it a fresh look, personally.

                        Hi all,

                        I have had my D250 for almost 2 years now and 25k kms.

                        Need some advice on the next set of tyres to go for - although there is only minor wear and tear on my current stock tyres, I do sometimes feel a loss of grip especially during tight corners.

                        I am looking for something with more grip as I frequently go to the himalayas.

                        Thanks,
                        Kunal

                            What's the average fuel efficiency of duke 250. Does it have a better fuel efficiency than dominar 400?

                              About 28 to 35. Unsure about the fe compared to the 2019 Dominar. Should be equal more or less

                                Even after reaching"Low fuel Level" in the console I ride for about 60 kms (Trip F),till the gauge drops to the last box......when I fill up it varies from 10-11.5L
