KTM 390 Duke Now Comes With 10-Year Warranty for a Limited Period

KTM offered a 2-year standard warranty plus a free 3-year extension. The new extended warranty remains free and is transferable to the next owner.


<p>Post the launch of the ever-popular KTM 390 Duke, all eyes are now set on the arrival of its off-road-ready&nbsp;cousin, the KTM 390 Adventure.&nbsp;However, the launch of the 390 Adventure may not be too far as the hardware that it will get is already out on the roads. Sources accessed by <em>autoX</em> confirmed, on the precondition of anonymity, that the chassis of the new KTM 390 Duke has been designed keeping in mind and that it will be used in&nbsp;the upcoming 390 Adventure. And that's not it, the chassis of the&nbsp;390 Duke is close to being ready for use&nbsp;in the next-generation 390 Adventure and should not need a lot of changes, if any,&nbsp;as per the source.&nbsp;Furthermore, it is also&nbsp;confirmed&nbsp;that the new model of the 390 Adventure will make its debut&nbsp;in late 2024, and go on sale in&nbsp;early 2025.</p>

<p>If we talk about the current generation model of the 390 Adventure that is on sale in India, it is based on the outgoing version of the 390 Duke, but it was more of an adaptation of the&nbsp;set of parameters defining the outgoing Duke. This time around, the chassis design was approached from the get-go with the intention of&nbsp;pushing what the current-gen 390 Adventure can do in terms of performance.</p>

<p>A strong case in point is the&nbsp;increase in&nbsp;ground clearance of the new 390 Duke, which has risen from 151mm to 183mm, despite it featuring an under-belly exhaust.&nbsp;If the 390 Adventure is to come with a side-slung exhaust, like the current-gen model, you can expect&nbsp;close to 200mm of ground clearance already.&nbsp;Additionally,&nbsp;the 390 ADV will&nbsp;get&nbsp;extra travel in the suspension as expected, and a larger front wheel than the new 390 Duke and as a result, we expect&nbsp;the&nbsp;ground clearance&nbsp;to go even higher.</p>

<p>The new <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-duke/">390 Duke</a>&nbsp;also comes with a 5-step adjustable suspension up front and rebound adjustability at the rear. For the 390 Adventure, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a>&nbsp;should&nbsp;definitely go the full 30-step of adjustability at the front that the current 390 ADV gets, and it could even offer a fully adjustable shock at the rear to increase the versatility. The 390 Duke’s larger engine also makes its peak torque and max power lower in the rev-range than before, which will again be instrumental in enhancing the ADV experience.</p>

<p>All the other electronic aids from the 390 Duke such as the lean-sensitive ABS and traction control and launch control are also expected to make it to the upcoming 390 Adventure.</p>


New KTM 390 Duke Chassis Design is Already Almost Complete for Upcoming 390 Adventure

With its 183mm of ground clearance, KTM’s new-gen 390 Duke will be the perfect starting point for the new-generation model of the 390 Adventure, which should be launched by the end of 2024.

<p>KTM has just unveiled the new 390 Duke motorcycle, and it will likely be launched in the next few months. The updated&nbsp;390 Duke will go on sale in the Indian market&nbsp;in addition to the upcoming 250 Duke and the 125 Duke. The latest 390 Duke is vastly different&nbsp;in comparison&nbsp;to the previous-generation model. The biggest changes include&nbsp;new styling, a bigger&nbsp;engine, and a revised chassis, and with these upgrades, expect the new-generation 390 Duke to carry a price hike over the existing Duke. To give you a brief about the 390 Duke – it has been on sale in India for about 10 years, and since 2013, the streetfighter has remained unperturbed. Bajaj Auto and KTM launched the 390 Duke, which is the second offering from the KTM portfolio for the Indian market. Bajaj rolled out its first KTM product in January 2012 – the 200 Duke. For those unaware, the Duke is the first mid-size sports bike from the Bajaj stable.&nbsp;Given that the 2024 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-duke/">KTM 390 Duke</a> has received significant updates over the older Duke, we compare the two models in order to highlight their differences on paper.</p>

<h2>2024 KTM 390 Duke –&nbsp;New vs. Old: Styling</h2>

<p>Since the model was first introduced in 2013, the 390 Duke has always looked butch and aggressive. Upon its debut in India,&nbsp; the minimalist bodywork and exposed bright orange trellis frame made&nbsp;it simply brilliant to gaze at. KTM has improved it over the years, and the latest iteration of the 390 Duke is substantially better than before. The 2024&nbsp;version&nbsp;is more muscular than the previous version. Inspired by the iconic 1290 Super Duke, the 2024 KTM 390 Duke gets chunky, larger fuel tank shrouds, a&nbsp;wider&nbsp;LED headlight, bolder boomerang-shaped DRLs, an all-new split seat design with an exposed rear subframe, and a T-shaped tail lamp.</p>

<p><img alt="2023 KTM 390 Duke 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/08/2023-KTM-390-Duke-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>In line with the Super Duke-inspired design&nbsp;language, the 2024 iteration of the 390 Duke is available in similar colour schemes of blue, grey, orange, and polarising orange &amp; black paint.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 KTM 390 Duke – New vs. Old: Chassis</h2>

<p>In comparison to the older lightweight split-steel trellis frame, the new-generation bike&nbsp;is underpinned by an all-new&nbsp;powder-coated steel trellis frame, with the subframe made of pressure die-cast aluminium – similar to the 1290 Super Duke. Other bits include&nbsp;a new curved cast swingarm with an offset-mounted mono-shock, also marking a return of the underbelly exhaust for the 390 Duke.&nbsp;As a result, the updated chassis is claimed to contribute to changes in the overall stiffness, offering a better feel and stability when pushed to the limits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additionally, what has also changed is the riding ergonomics and seat height. The 2024 KTM 390 Duke now comes with an adjustable seat height of 820mm as standard. Besides, KTM also&nbsp;offers the 390 Duke&nbsp;with an 800mm high seat as an option.</p>

<h2>2024 KTM 390 Duke – New vs. Old: Engine</h2>

<p>The biggest change to the new 390 Duke is right at its heart, in the form of the&nbsp;new 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. While the current-generation KTM 390 Duke is&nbsp;powered by a 373.2cc single-cylinder motor that produces 43.5bhp at 9,000rpm and 37Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm, the latest generation's bigger engine is rated for&nbsp;44bhp and 39Nm of peak torque.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2024 KTM 390 Duke Final 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/08/2024-KTM-390-Duke-Final-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The new 399cc motor has the same bore and stroke figures as the Triumph Speed 400,&nbsp;standing at 89mm and 64mm, respectively. Additionally, the new bike receives an optimised cylinder head, gearbox, and catalytic converter, along with a larger airbox.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 KTM 390 Duke – New vs. Old: Hardware</h2>

<p>In terms of hardware, the 2024 version features 43mm WP upside-down front forks with 5-step compression and rebound adjustability. The rear end gets&nbsp;an offset mono-shock with 5-step rebound and tool-adjustable preload adjustability.&nbsp;Notably, the India-spec model will also have adjustable front and rear suspension.&nbsp;A new 320mm front disc, a 240mm rear disc, dual-channel ABS, cornering, and Supermoto ABS are part of the braking system. The bike sits on a set&nbsp;of 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in&nbsp;Michelin tyres, whereas the Indian version is expected to roll on MRF/Apollo rubber tyres to keep costs in check.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the current model is suspended with the help of non-adjustable 43mm inverted front forks and&nbsp;a 10-step adjustable rear mono-shock. Braking duties are carried out by a 320mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2023 KTM 390 Duke 2 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/08/2023-KTM-390-Duke-2-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<h2>2024 KTM 390 Duke – New vs. Old: Features</h2>

<p>On the feature front, both&nbsp;models share all-LED lighting, a slip &amp; assist clutch, a quick-shifter,&nbsp;Supermoto ABS, and a&nbsp;5.0-inch TFT display. But, a&nbsp;new TFT console available with the new-generation model comes with connected features, such as turn-by-turn navigation, smartphone connectivity, and call &amp; audio control.</p>

<p>Moreover, the 2024 bike also gets a hazard light switch, a new illuminated switchgear,&nbsp;a cruise control, self-cancelling indicators, and riding modes – Street as standard, Rain, and Track. Furthermore, the 2024 iteration also packs in Launch Control, which works only when the Track mode is engaged. As a result, power delivery is sharper than before, and the revs build up&nbsp;to 7,000rpm, according to KTM.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Expect the 2024 version to be launched in the coming months in India, maybe around the festive season. When launched, the upcoming 390 Duke will likely range&nbsp;between <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-duke/price-in-new-delhi/">Rs 3.20 lakh</a> and Rs 3.30 lakh&nbsp;(ex-showroom). As of now, the current-generation model is available at an ex-showroom price&nbsp;of Rs 2.97 lakh. The motorcycle will be manufactured at Bajaj Auto's Chakan plant, near Pune.</p>
