                  Best in this segment
                  This high-performance vehicle from a major manufacturer delivers an exhilarating and dynamic driving experience. Ideal for enthusiastic drivers; however, fuel efficiency may be a concern, as this sports model prioritizes performance and handling over mileage. Its commanding road presence further enhances the overall driving experience.

                  KTM Duke 390
                  It's a very aggressive bike and not recommended for starter KTM Duke 390 Review The KTM Duke 390 continues to stand out as one of the most exciting naked bikes in the entry-level performance segment. With aggressive styling, a powerful engine, and premium features, it offers an unmatched thrill for its price. Performance & Engine: At the heart of the Duke 390 lies a 373cc single-cylinder engine that churns out around 43 hp. It’s punchy, quick to rev, and delivers exhilarating acceleration. The bike feels alive, especially in the mid to high rev range, and the lightweight chassis adds to the nimble, responsive feel. It’s perfect for both city rides and spirited weekend blasts. Design & Build: Sharp lines, bold graphics, and a trellis frame give the Duke a distinct streetfighter look. The LED headlight and TFT display add a touch of premium, while the new generation brings improved ergonomics and a more aggressive stance. The overall build quality is solid, though a few plastic parts may feel slightly underwhelming at close inspection. Handling & Ride Quality: Thanks to WP suspension and a lightweight design, the Duke 390 handles corners with confidence. The ride is on the stiffer side, which helps in aggressive riding but can feel harsh on rough city roads. Brakes are strong and progressive, with dual-channel ABS adding safety, and Supermoto mode letting experienced riders enjoy some sideways fun. Tech & Features: A standout in its class, the Duke 390 offers a full-color TFT display with smartphone connectivity, ride-by-wire throttle, slipper clutch, and dual-channel ABS with Supermoto mode. These are features usually seen in bigger bikes,

                  Best companion on the road
                  Rolls like a bullet and gives a comfort posture while riding . Only Buy if u can afford 90 litre of petrol per month and can bear the amount of servicing . The breaks are mind-blowing and too light to retard the tank capacity is sufficient . This bike' s perfomance is outstanding and I suggest you to purchase .
