Performance

KTM Duke 390 is powered by a 398.7cc, Single-Cylinder, Liquid-cooled, DOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 46 PS at 8500 rpm and a max torque of 39 Nm at 6900 rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to an improved 6-speed gearbox with 15 liters of fuel capacity.

The engine displacement has increased by 25.5cc but with a lower compression ratio.

By doing this, it ensures rider-friendly performance at the lower rev range while increasing the overall powertrain numbers. 

KTM claims this engine to have more power, smoother acceleration, and an optimized cylinder head.

KTM introduces Launch Control and Traction Control for the very first time with Duke 390.

Launch control helps riders get off to a fast start by managing the engine’s RPM while they fully open the throttle and release the clutch, maximizing acceleration.

Surprisingly, KTM 390 offers three riding modes: Street Mode, Rain Mode, and Track Mode. 

Street Mode is for normal city commuting, Rain Mode for enhanced control in the wet by limiting the engine to 9000 rpm, and Track Mode for maximum possible performance.

Riders can only use the Launch Control option in the Track Mode. However, Launch Control can only be unlocked after riding it for over 1000km.

Moreover, the KTM 390 holds a large chest with flagship features like Quickshifters, Super Moto ABS, and a Slipper Clutch.

Additional Details

Adjustable 43mm WP APEX USD and 10-step Preload Adjustable WP APEX Monoshock handle suspension duties.

KTM Duke 250 gets 183mm ground clearance. And the kerb weight sits at 168.3 Kg.

Thanks to the new frame, lightweight wheels, and compact form, it is now a few kilos lighter than older versions! KTM did the same in Duke 250 setting their priorities to make KTM bikes more agile.
