Engine and performance upgrades
The 2024 390 Duke comes with a revamped 399cc engine that delivers 45 horsepower and 39Nm of torque. This represents an increase of 1.5hp and 2Nm compared to the previous model. The engine is encased in a new trellis frame featuring an aluminum sub-frame, which is complemented by an updated suspension system.
Design and advanced features
The new 390 Duke has undergone significant design changes, including new tank extensions and a redesigned headlight area. The bike now offers three riding modes—Rain, Street, and Track—each providing varying levels of power delivery. Additional features like launch control and standard traction control make it a compelling choice for performance enthusiasts.
Pricing and market competition
The new 390 Duke is priced at Rs 3.10 Lakh marking an increase of Rs 13,000 over its predecessor. Despite the price hike, the bike offers value for money, especially when compared to rivals like the TVS Apache RTR 310, which is priced between Rs 2.5 to 2.6 lakh.
Additional launch: The new 2024 250 Duke
KTM has also introduced an updated 2024 250 Duke, priced at Rs 2.4 Lakh. While it retains its 249cc engine, the bike features a new frame, updated styling, and improved brakes and wheels.
Booking and availability
Interested buyers can now book the new 390 Duke and 250 Duke on KTM's official website for a token amount of Rs 4,500. Both bikes are expected to hit showrooms by mid-September.
Conclusion
KTM's straightforward approach to marketing the new 390 Duke reflects the brand's focus on delivering quality over hype. With its enhanced engine, updated design, and advanced features, the Gen 3 390 Duke is set to make waves in the Indian performance bike market.
