In terms of posture duke, in terms of sport bike dynamics and handling its rc. it all depends on your choice, both bike puts lots power to the rear wheel, but are also fairly comfortable, seat comfort and highway i would prefer the duke, but as a rc owner i can tell you, rc's are a blast on the highway , both are so much relatable. if you are driving way too long, and you don't know much about how to handle a sport posture bike like rc' like holding tank with legs- which gives you less pressure on your wrists. then i would recommend you go for duke. But when you buy an rc you can learn too and people have made trip to kanyakumari to kashmir in that . so they are versatile,and lastly you need to maintain your ktm bikes pretty good, meaning more service visits every 5k kms or 6 months whicever comes early. if you are in a more dusty region then every 4 months compulsory, then your bike will ride very very good. no probs. i am an owner of more than 5 years, people do have complains on the bike and its parts wearing off quickly , quite true, but then thats how you got the less price tag. enjoy your day. test ride that bikes.

To be honest... If you ask which is a better vehicle in terms of performance, handling, controlling and stability with road grip... RC390 is much better than Duke 390.Now, if you are looking for latest features such as TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity which allows you to receive and decline calls from handlebar itself.. change songs.. increase & decrease volume etc. then Duke 390 is the best choice... also, it offers you the sitting posture which is both commited also and relaxed as well... whereas in RC390 its only commited riding position which May give you back pain and wrist pain if you are not used to riding sport bikes.

RC390 handle wind blast but same way it have committed posture. with feed back from RC driver they feel comfortable while drive in handling same for me.though i am having D390 its near to safe and good for long term.

Manish Kumar · Answer

It completely dependents upon your style of riding. If u love sporty and aggressive posture go for RC 390 and if u want a fun to ride bike and a bit straight posture then go for Duke 390. Duke 390 has more updated instrument cluster which enhances the beauty of this bike. Both the bikes are equipped with the same engine and suspension so u won't get any difference on that part.

Harish Vithalkar · Answer

Between these 2 bikes both produce same power rc390 has 1nm less torque than 390 duke rc 390 is faded bike 390 is naked sport bike there is no much price difference in both of these bikes and the main thing is the riding position is good and upright in 390 duke but you have to bend your body in rc 390 and you may get back pain so I suggest duke 390 to buy

Imvaibhavv · Answer

RC390 for sure due to better wind protection...but if you're planning for longer rides then D390 will be more preferable bcoz of seating posture and comfort ride.

Raja Dwivedi · Answer

DUKE 390 is better because it is an naked bike so if you ever crashed then your maintenance cost is also less and if you looking for race then DUKE is more faster than RC.
