Overview

Introducing the 2024 KTM 390 Duke, a bold contender in the naked bike category that combines cutting-edge technology with spirited performance. KTM has once again positioned itself at the forefront of the lightweight motorcycle segment, catering to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts. With its striking design and aggressive stance, the 390 Duke is not just a feast for the eyes; it promises an exhilarating ride that embodies the essence of street biking. Whether you're commuting through urban jungles or carving up winding roads, this motorcycle is engineered to deliver an unforgettable experience. At the heart of the 390 Duke lies a potent single-cylinder engine that produces an impressive torque of 39.0 Nm (28.8 ft.lbs), ensuring lively acceleration and agile handling. The engine's 373cc displacement, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, provides smooth gear transitions, allowing riders to harness the full potential of its powerband. The advanced fuel injection system and liquid cooling work in tandem to optimize performance and efficiency, making this bike not only thrilling to ride but also practical for everyday use. With a lightweight frame tipping the scales at just 150 kg (330.7 pounds), the 390 Duke boasts a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 0.2950 HP/kg, ensuring a dynamic ride that feels both responsive and engaging. The 2024 390 Duke is equipped with a host of features that enhance both comfort and performance. The WP APEX suspension, with 150 mm of travel at both the front and rear, provides excellent stability and confidence in various riding conditions. The steel trellis frame is not only aesthetically pleasing but also lends the bike agility and strength, while the powerful braking system—featuring a 320 mm double disc at the front and a 230 mm single disc at the rear—ensures responsive stopping power. Moreover, with two ride modes, riders can easily switch between settings to match their mood or riding scenario, whether it’s a spirited ride or a more laid-back cruise. Available in striking color combinations of black/orange and blue/orange/black, the 390 Duke is as eye-catching as it is capable. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight design and trellis frame allow for quick maneuverability, making it perfect for city riding and twisty roads.

  • Advanced Suspension: The WP APEX suspension provides excellent comfort and control, ensuring a smooth ride on various terrains.

Cons

  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 820 mm (32.3 inches), it may not be the best fit for shorter riders.

  • Small Fuel Tank: The 13.40-liter (3.54 US gallons) fuel capacity may require more frequent stops on extended journeys.
