ahead in trend

Ahead in trend, the ktm 390 duke is available for a moderately expensive price. The looks are even better as compared to the other ktm models. My brother has the black colour of this model with a classy appearance which looks very funky and cool. The seat is comfortable and wide and the mileage is good and so is the ground clearance.

A true sports bike

my friend what KTM 390 Duke last month and I also had a ride on this bike. my experience enjoyable and remarkable. the looks are very attractive with the perfect fit and finishing. it has a 398cc engine which is quite powerful for daily rides. the mileage is around 25-28kmpl. however the pricing could be a concern as it is higher than expected. overall beside the pricing performance is on its peak.

a classic drive story

It has a a 373.2cc liquid-cooled engine delivering 43 horsepower and 37 Nm of torque. Its aggresive riding position is very uncomfortable . It has safety features like ABS (anti-lock braking system) and disc brakes (essential for such power).Overall exceptional bike for experienced riders who prioritize performance and handling. It's not the most practical choice, but it delivers an adrenaline rush.

390 Duke (2017-2023) Negatives Points: Some might find the suspension a bit stiff. The edgy & aggressive design can be a bit polarising

Zigwheels Expert's Conclusion : If everyday performance is your thing, nothing comes close to the explosive performance and razor-sharp handling which the 390 Duke offers in its price range, undermining even its more expensive rivals. Being more refined in its latest iteration, the 390 Duke remains a well-rounded package, well suited to everyday thrill seekers.

No Doubt its a best bike,

No doubt its a best bike, There's no comparison because no other brand is offering the quality that comes with this beast.The drive ergonomics of this beauty is phenomenal and the infotainment system that this bike offers in this price point is crazy.Not only the drive quality but the fit and finish of this bike is a piece of art.The bike is very nimble which makes it easy to manoeuvre even in the traffic and the suspension is so good that you'll fly through the potholes.The super moto mode that comes with this bike allows you to do crazy street bike stunts.The new quick shifter+ is nice because it allows you to upshift and downshift very effortlessly with using the clutch, It's not as good as the higher segment bikes has got but no other bike in this segment is offering this which makes it a complete package.The torque you will fell when you pull the throttle will leave a smile on your face.

Very powerful, Smooth and corner rocket kind of a machine.The iconic bs3 sound is missing but with the technology provided it can be given a pass.Bluetooth, Super moto mode, Trip readings, Mileage, Auto dimming speedo console, Sensor driven headlights which switch based on morning and night drives.Very bright drl.Power shifter which will let you change gears up and down without clutch.Useful while on tracks.Mileage is around 18kmpl and less if driven at peak.Both available colors are good.Breaks have good bite.830mm seat height.5.5 and above would find it comfortable to ride.Below 5.5 it depends on skill this is definitely not a beginner bike.If you are a beginner pls consider 200 or 250 cc.390 can be lethal if not handled responsibly.It will throw you off the bike if you accelerate without proper judgement specially while overtaking and in traffic.

aggressive and precise design

It is a delight to drive through city traffic and on winding roads because to the lightweight chassis and responsive handling. Long rides can be taken without becoming overly fatigued because to the upright riding position and plush seat. Additionally, the bike has cutting-edge innovations like a slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, and several riding modes that enhance the overall riding experience. Performance and appearance: The KTM 390 Duke jumps out visually because to its aggressive and precise design. It has a striking and distinctive appearance thanks to its sharp bodywork, exposed trellis structure, and distinctive orange colour scheme. The bike is visually appealing due to its compact size and strong posture.

Coming back

4.2

The beautiful 390 duke.I always wanted this bike in the bs4 white shade.I even remember daydreaming about riding and owning this bike in class hours.When the bs4 duke was first launched, I went to the showroom on my montra cycle to see it in person.But upon going to the showroom, The bike gets delivered to someone and i return home without seeing the bike.I however did end up seeing the bike at a local auto expo.Coming back to this story, I took a short test ride of the bike.I remember the bike felt very linear and power delivery was not frantic or scary.That was just a 500m spin with the sales guy as pillion, But at least i got a feel of how the bike felt.

Brutal performance

3.8

Brutal performance with the upgraded electronics in the bs6 version is a sweet upgrade.After the new fireware update ktm hs resolved the quickshifter+ issues and now it's a bliss to shift.Punch the throttle to reach a place, And you have reached!.

Extremely comfortable

The bike is extremely comfortable to ride within the city and your without any hassles, The seat seems to be stiff initially but helps in the long run, There is a slight buzz near the foot pegs and handle bar around 100-110 but smoothens out once the speed climbs i was not completely satisfied with the company’s service hence after the free service period ended i started getting my bike serviced by reputed mechanics in the city.The pick up has been great and even after owning it for over 4.5 years i don’t see any drop in performance, The build quality is nice and i have never experienced any issues withrusting or paint quality.
