The Duke

The Duke is a bike body that appears in Mario Kart 8. It resembles a purple-colored snowmobile with yellow and blue highlights, regardless of which character riding it. It has a set of three headlights on the front, and the characters emblem is shown on the side of the bike. The Duke glows in sync with the music, similar to the Badwagon.

The Duke is a completely aesthetic bike body, as it doesn't affect any stats, making it the only bike body in Mario Kart 8 with this feature. Because of this, when compared to all the other bike bodies, The Duke has the highest traction stat, and is tied with the Master Cycle for highest weight and lowest acceleration, but it also has the lowest handling of all bikes.

The front and the back of The Duke change depending on the wheel: for example, the blue headlights and the back fender disappear when Monster tires are used. It shares its stats with the Standard Kart, Cat Cruiser, 300 SL Roadster, Sneeker, Prancer, and Teddy Buggy.
