Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
KTM 390 Duke R
  • Improved performance means this is the quickest bike in its segment
  • Brakes feel sharp and predictable
  • Adjustable suspension handles bad road well even in its stock setting
  • Lower seat height should make it more accessible to shorter riders
  • Feels super light on its feet and agile when changing directions
  • You can barely feel any engine heat, even in bumper to bumper traffic
  • Motor has become a lot smoother than before
KTM 390 Duke R
  • Some of the panel gaps are a little too pronounced
  • H-rated Metzeler tyres feel a little squiggly when pushing the bike hard and the signature KTM orange colour option looks too garish in this model
