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.
User Reviews
The bike is worth the price and offers good value for money. However the mileage is lower than I expected. The overall performance is satisfactory for daily use but better fuel efficiency would make it a more economical choice. Read More
7,000 km use ke baad bike ka performance bahut achha hai. Pickup bahut strong hai, riding experience smooth aur enjoyable hai. Mileage mujhe approximately 28–30 km/l mil raha hai. Looks, performance, handling aur overall riding experience se main satisfied hoon. Abhi tak mera overall experience bahut badhiya raha hai.Read More
