KTM 390 Duke & 250 Duke: Get New Paint Schemes
More than just cosmetic updates, but there’s a catch
Quick Highlights:
-
KTM 390 Duke, and 250 Duke get updated paint schemes
-
New braking equipment as well on the 390
-
Currently, on the international models only
The KTM 390 Duke gets a new, matte blue colour option, with all-black alloy wheels, and the bike does look quite stealthy in this new shade. The KTM 250 Duke on the other hand, got two new paint schemes - an updated Ebony black, and a silver shade. All of these paint schemes suit the sporty character of these Dukes very well.
Along with the new paint scheme, KTM has also given the 390 Duke updated braking hardware. The brand has replaced the ByBre callipers, with new WP FCR4 callipers, both at the front and the rear. The KTM 390 Duke already had one of the best braking setup in the segment, backed by Brembo sintered brake pads. With the new braking setup, the brand claims to improve stopping power even more.
The bikes remain the same mechanically otherwise. That said, these updates are only on the bikes sold in other countries and no word yet from KTM whether these changes will be made on Indian models.
In a related development, KTM recently launched the all-new RC 160 in India, check out what all it offers.

- very best bikeRiding experience is too good, this bike is futuristic at this price range. looks are awesome 398 cc, this bike can handle turns very well, maintenance period is too long 30 kmpl good range as an 400 cc bike. Very well designed, engine performance is too good into 3.5 lakhs segment good option to buy.Read More
- Genuine review Duke 250 after 7 monthsDuke 250 design is what got me flabbergasted. value for money is great. Good looking bike with mischievous intent if you twist the throttle, manageable maintenance cost, best in class features like ride bidirectional quick shifter, TFT display, phone connectivity, best braking in segment. You can flick the bike with great reflex, you'll get a good average if you keep it between 60-80 at 6k -8k RPM, I'm getting around 35 kmpl and if i rev it upto 10k I'll be getting 24-26 kmpl average. My Only concerns are the headlight projection is not that good but adjustable, and the seat is stiff, not for long travel and comfort but to dominate. If your looking for a bike with stealth and road presence this is the bike, I had shortlisted duke 390 also but at last i got 250 because it's more practical with good power delivery and decent milage and look wise both are around same except for features.Read More
