KTM Duke 390 vs TVS Apache RR 310

Question 1

Q. I am 16 years old, looking for a sports bike. Which bike is best between Duke 390 or Apache 310 R for daily use, like coaching, school etc?

Answer

Duke 390 for sure. It’s overall just a better bike, has more features, and in my opinion is more stabile for newer riders. I started riding when I was 16 and I started with a 400cc. I have been an experienced dirt biker since I was 5 and I practiced with my dad and his road bikes in parking lots with 800cc and higher bikes when I was 13 and 14 though. SO UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED GO LOWER!!!!! I would say a beginner bike with about 200cc or LOWER. And definitely get your license before you ride, and understand all of the risks. I hope you love riding!

Answer

Good question though. Why not wait for 2 more years untill you are 18. Duke would be a better option as it is nimble to handle and light weight. Yes the power delivery is more than any other bike in this segment which is not manageable by newbie.

Answer

Both of them are costly bikes and brother you are below 18 so I would suggest you to buy Pulsar NS 200 ABS version.If you have money and looking for a stylish bike of then go ahead for Duke 390.But remember my point.☺️.

Question 2

Q. I am confused between Duke 390 and Apache RR 310, which is better for touring?

Answer

The sitting posture in Duke 390 is much better than Apache RR 310 and Duke 390 has a bigger engine than Apache RR 310.Pay more 50k and go for Duke 390..but there is one issue with Duke 390 i.e it has Metzler tyres which is meant for track purpose not for touring.If you want to go for Tour like Ladakh then you have to change your tyre after a single trip.

Answer

Duke 390 is best from rr310 because the down leg portion of bike is little high from rr310 and it is safe for touring

Vickey for long tour I'll prefer u duke 390 coz u feel comfortable with this bike than Apache rr 310

Question 5

Q. Is KTM Duke 390 better or RC 390 better in speed and economically

Answer

Both have same parts so maintenance on both is exactly the same. Only the faring on the RC will cost you more.Both have the same engine and power. Duke will win a drag race because of the lighter weight.RC will win on the track because it is more committed to the track, better top speed and better aerodynamics.Duke is a favorite on the streets because its more comfortable, better for touring, everyday commuting and has a bigger tank.

Answer

I think rc 390 for racing because it has windshield it is very helpful for riding on highway because if you ride bike on highway so fast many windblast came so windshield Stop them so i think rc 390 but i personally like duke 390 specially design and power both bike are good

Answer

Both the bike are different from each other. performance is almost same but RC is more stable on high speed as it had better aerodynamics, economically both the bike are same. though duke is lighter that RC so performance will be different of course

Question 6

Q. I want to buy my first bike. I have selected three options, Duke 390, Apache 310, Dominar 400. I'm confused which bike I should buy. I want bike for both office and sometimes back to my hilly hometown.Please suggest me.

Answer

As a Duke 390 owner I will never suggest Duke 390 as a first bike to anyone whatsoever. Even dominor too as its powerful and have good amount of weight to it. Bs6 apache 310 would be a very good starting bike as it as different riding modes which reduce the power output by 10bph in rain and city mode. If you are into supersport like re 310 go for it. It's pretty comfortable for city as well as long distance touring as it is not have dedicated riding position as R15 v3 and rc 390. If you like naked sports then go for dominor 400 as it gives mileage and superb touring capabilities as well. And for Duke 390 go for it if you are experienced rider and mileage doesn't matter. Both 33 r10 and d 400 is way better than Duke 390 on the heating issue, but Bs6 390 is updated and have way better heating than bs4. And atlast please test drive all of these bikes, see what's you are comfortable with and then chose.👍🏼👍🏼

Answer

I recommend a scooty at first which can also help with your family members and later you can simply buy rr310 or duke 390, i wont recommend dominar 400 if could afford dominar might has well go for big boys like rr310 or duke 390 but plz don't go with rc390 you will have body pains after riding it for atleast one week

Answer

Buy duke 390 , it is lighter faster easy to commute in city.Apache rr310 is a kit bike it is not ideal for city and Dominar 400 ug is heavy and turning radius is big.
