KTM has refreshed the 390 Duke for the 2025 model year in India, introducing new features and styling elements. A key addition is cruise control, operated via the revised switchgear on the left handlebar. The bike also gets a new Ebony Black paint job. Meanwhile, the existing colour options for the 390 Duke include Atlantic Blue and Electronic Orange. Despite these refinements, the ex-showroom price remains the same at Rs 2.95 lakh. The latest round of updates further strengthens the 390 Duke’s appeal as a balanced mix of performance and everyday usability. The addition of cruise control improves its long-distance riding capability, while the new color scheme enhances its aesthetics, further solidifying its appeal in the premium naked bike segment.
