KTM 390 Duke Review: The Best Value Performance Bike In India

The KTM 390 Duke offers 42.9 bhp, premium components, and razor-sharp handling at ₹3.12 lakh. Is it still the benchmark?

The KTM 390 Duke has been the benchmark for performance naked motorcycles in India since its launch. The current version gets a 373cc single-cylinder engine making 42.9 bhp.

The 373cc engine is punchy and eager. It pulls cleanly from 3,000 rpm and screams to the 10,000 rpm redline. The 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch is excellent.

The WP Apex suspension and lightweight chassis make the 390 Duke one of the best-handling motorcycles in India. It changes direction with telepathic precision.
