These tyres are a perfect fit for the bikes like the KTM 390 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and Yezdi Adventure.
The combination of the sticky rubber and the KTM 390 Duke is a perfect combo for the track. The KTM 390 Duke is powered by a 349.32cc engine, which produces 41.5 PS and 33.5 Nm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox and gets a bi-directional quickshifter for quick downshifts and upshifts, which is much needed at a racetrack.

Best bike for those who want performance and electronics or i can say that perfect combination of power and safety. But yeah not for beginners who have never driven 300 or 300+ cc bikes for them duke is definitely going to be a kill machine the performance and braking system is providing great performance, and it's just insane.Read More
If you are buying this motorcycle directly and have not driven a 390cc before, then this 350cc engine will give you the best performance. All the features are the same. Only the engine has a little less power, but that 4-5 bhp is not noticeable. However, the torque is a little noticeable, but as I said, if you have not driven a 390, you will not be able to understand the difference.Read More
To be honest, I was confused between this and the the Triumph speed 400 but the 390 is just a different vibe. It's got an aggressive look that stands out in the college parking, plus in mumbai u need that instant power to gap vehicles. Nothing in this budget gives you this much performance , power , feel and technology its a beast!!.The acceleration is very unreal , but the enginge gets quite hot when you're stuck at a signal for too long. Suspension is a bit stiff, so you'll feel the mumbai potholes , but on highsway its very stable. Handling is very light yess but keep in mind its not a family bike. its for people who love speed and beginners pls stay away cuz power delivery is very sharppp. Best 400cc . Best for long rides and joyriding. Crazy beast for realRead More
