It is introduced in Asia for little market which has higher taxes on motorcycles with more than 250cc. The price gap between the Duke 200 and Duke 390 is Rs80000. With the price the power delivery and performance is also split from both the models.


It gets the new headlamp shroud and LED running lamp from the bigger brother, but a bulb-and-reflector setup like the smaller one. It also gets the bolt-on subframe and larger fuel tank from the 390 but the smaller front brake from the 200.

If you go to see the performance the standard takes 4.9 seconds and the S takes 4.4 seconds to reach 100kmph. But they are limited at a stop speed of 250kmph.


The front bumper has been tweaked and the three-part air dam looks sporty with the blacked out mesh grille and the LED daytime running lamps. The headlamps get the optional quad LED and also the DRLs and blacked out mesh gives a sporty look. The LED tail lamps separate the rear bumper from the fender.

KTM Duke 390 2017



The 2017 KTM 390 Duke has got a bigger punch in terms of power and torque. Its styling is similar to the Super Duke 1290 and boy it looks amazing.

It has got a split chassis with a bolt on frame. The front brake is a 320mm one, meaning better feedback and resistance from the previous braking. The exhaust has grown from the belly exhaust. Thanks to the Euro 4 emission regulations, which the export models have to comply with. This has also contributed to the 11kg more that it weight than the previous model.

Along with the changes in front brake the fuel tank capacity has increased. It gets a 13.5ltr fuel tank which means it can last more on a full tank. It also includes a ride-by-wire throttle that eliminates the jerkiness at low revs of the previous 390 Duke; an all-LED headlamp that has a ‘split’ design like the Super Duke. And how can we forget the color TFT LCD instrument display that has Bluetooth connectivity and that can be controlled via buttons on the handlebar.



The 2017 KTM Duke 390 is expensive than the previous model, but its justified keeping mind about the cosmetic and mechanical changes. It is still remains value for money.

RIDING DYNAMICS

CURB WEIGH: 565LBS
COMPRESSION RATIO: 8.9:1
TORQUE :55FT-LBS
Engine Speed @ Peak Torque: 3,500RPM

 A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel, leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size (the only downside is that using low octane fuel can damage the engine). This motor is undersquare, with a cylinder bore and stroke of 76.2 x 96.8mm (the stroke, or length, of the cylinder is greater than its bore, or width). Undersquare engines make better torque down low in the rev range, but typically don't produce as much power as an oversquare engine of the same displacement would.
