  • brakes feel sharp and predictable
  • adjustable suspension handles bad road well even in its stock setting

KTM Duke 390

  • 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.
