The 2025 KTM 390 Duke has been launched in India with updated features and a new Ebony Black colour option for those who have joined the dark side. Moreover, the price of the bike remains the same at Rs 2,95,000 (ex-showroom).
New Features: Cruise Control & Crawl
The new KTM 390 Duke gets cruise control functionality that was first seen in the 2025 390 Adventure. It also gets a crawl function like the ADV. Addition of this feature makes the bike more comfortable for long highway rides. That said, it will still need the rider to stay alert at all times since it cannot auto cut off the cruise control for road hazards.
The cruise control feature on the 2025 KTM 390 Duke can easily be engaged with a press of a new dedicated button on the switchgear. After that, you will have to adjust/set the desirable speed using the rocker switch below. Disengaging the cruise control feature is super easy – the rider will only have to tap on either of the brakes.
The 390 Duke also gets a new Crawl Feature, which helps in riding the bike at low speeds just using clutch modulation. This feature makes the bike more city friendly and comes in handy when riding though heavy traffic.
New Colour
The new KTM Duke 390 now comes in a stealthy Ebony Black paint scheme. It has glossy black base colour with bright orange graphics all around. The fuel tank is finished in a matte grey colour.

Its a great bike for beginners. The quick shifter, cruise control feature and the throttle response makes the ride really smooth. My experience with bike has been amazing and even on long rides the ride is comfortable. There is nothing more to say about it, you just have to experience it. At this price range, I don't think you will find a bike with these many features.Read More
Most aggressive 398 cc powerful bike only driven 9000 km in less than 2 yrs. It delivers a surgical riding experience with a punchy engine that surprisingly settles into great fuel economy on long highway scratches. It just got minor scratches on tank pad else its mechanically mint. If you want raw power then this is for you.Read More
