KTM 390 Duke

About
The 2024 KTM 390 Duke is a thoroughly revamped version of its predecessor, with KTM claiming it is 90 new. The bike features a more powerful 399cc single-cylinder engine, producing 45 horsepower and 28.8 lb-ft of torque, which is more accessible with its peak power and torque delivered at lower revs. The new chassis includes a steel trellis main frame and a side-mounted WP Apex monoshock, which improves handling and reduces the seat height by 10mm to 820mm. The bike is equipped with advanced electronics such as throttle-by-wire, two ride modes (Street and Rain), cornering ABS, and traction control. The 390 Duke also boasts a new 5-inch color TFT display, Michelin tires, and a significantly lighter wheel set. Its compact and agile design, combined with its sporty steering geometry, makes it a delight to ride, especially for those who enjoy the thrill of cornering and quick maneuvers. Despite some comfort limitations for taller riders on long rides, the 390 Duke is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun, capable, and feature-rich motorcycle.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2024 KTM 390 Duke is a significant leap forward in the Duke series, and it is clear why its dubbed the Corner Rocket. This bike is a joy to ride, especially on tight, technical roads where its agility and quick steering make it a standout. The new 399cc single-cylinder engine, though slightly buzzy at high revs, delivers a noticeable boost in power and torque, making it more responsive and fun. The updated chassis, including the new steel trellis main frame and side-mounted shock, enhances stiffness and handling. While the bike is incredibly light and agile, it may not be the most comfortable for longer rides, especially for taller riders. However, for its price and the features it offers, including throttle-by-wire, ride modes, and quality WP suspension, the 390 Duke is an excellent choice for both new and experienced riders looking for a sporty, versatile motorcycle.

The 390 Duke’s 2017 makeover gave it an unmistakable presence on the streets. The bike was given a more aggressive, edgy look with the SuperDuke design language.

The bike has Got everything a rider wants. You can take it for touring and as well as for daily commute. The bike has so much power stored in it. Everyone is seeing its competition with ninja 300 and Yamaha r3 but if you see there prices are nearly double of it and they are twin cylinder bikes and this one is single cylinder bike . The heating problem is due to the single cylinder as the bike has too powerful engine with single cylinder but if you see the performance than this bike has got way too much than its rivals. If you want sporty looks with abs safety and high performance this one is for you.

Best Features: Console, Ride by Wire.

Pros: Ride By Wire, Abs , Brakes, Console, Looks, Build Quality, Power, and everything

Bike for the Real Rider

Aditya Sethi | 8 years ago

The KTM 390 Duke is a wonderful bike. It delivers an awesome riding experience and it takes no time at going higher speeds. The handling is quite good but it takes me some time to get used to it. On the clear roads there are no any engine issues but in the case of traffic jam, it heats up pretty quick. One more thing which goes against the bike is its horn and headlight. I would recommend to change the headlights and increase the horn intensity so that you stay safe.

Best Features: Ease in Handling and Looks

Pros: Appearance, Easy gear shifting, Handling

Cons: Weak horn & headlights, Lack of storage for kit/papers, Engine heating

The KTM 390 Duke is a beast of motorcycle. It is light weight and you can handle it comfortably. The most important thing is that it generates a good torque value which makes your journey enjoyable on streets and safe om highways. Look wise it is quite attractive which will definitely encourage you to buy it. It has a great engine which offers more power in comparison to other beginner bikes. The braking system is quite impressive which is the standout feature of this bike. Coming to the downside, you will notice that the fuel tank capacity is quite low where cannot expect long tours. The clutch is too heavy and the quality of wheels are also not good. On the other hand, the throttle response of this machine is rough, especially at low rev ranges. The another issue with this bike is engine oil which sometimes starts leaking which reduces the oil level.

Best Features: Excellent Brakes & Eye Catching Looks

Pros: Eye catching looks, powerful engine, excellent brakes, light weight

Cons: Low fuel tank capacity, heavy clutch, rough throttle, bad wheel quality, engine oil problem
