SPIED: India-spec 2023 KTM 390 Duke In All Its Glory
Come on KTM, launch it already!
(Update: KTM has launched the 2024 390 Duke and 250 Duke at really competitive prices)
Shortly after breaking the news on its console, an uncovered spy shot of the India-spec 2023 KTM 390 Duke has been leaked. This has provided a clearer idea of the bike's appearance.
The overall posture has become considerably more menacing, and that's definitely a positive. However, upon closer inspection, one can't help but notice that the LED headlight, which looked futuristic on the previous model, now sports an awkward shape on the 2023 version. The once sleek LED indicators now protrude a bit, and the noticeable gap between the console and the headlight looks rather peculiar.

Putting aside its quirky aesthetics, what lies beneath is what truly matters. KTM is likely to equip the next-gen 390 Duke with a retuned engine offering even more performance, along with improved refinement and tractability. The bike also boasts a new cast aluminum subframe, reminiscent of the one found on the 890 Duke, and bionic wheels akin to the updated RC lineup.
Similar to the new-gen RC 390, the 390 Duke is expected to be priced higher than the current model’s Rs 2.97 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) sticker. We estimate that the upcoming 390 Duke could carry an ex-showroom price of around Rs 3.20 lakh, and might be introduced later this year.

- 2025 duke 390Its 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 More1 1
- The beast on the loose 9k driven only KTM Duke 390Most 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 More4 5
