KTM 350 Duke and 350 Adventure get a 349.32cc engine with 41bhp and 33.5Nm, offering a more affordable alternative to the 390 range.

KTM India has added new 350cc versions of the Duke and Adventure to its line-up, making the brand’s performance bikes more accessible than before. The new 350 Duke is priced at Rs 2.77 lakh, while the 350 Adventure costs Rs 2.81 lakh, both ex-showroom. That puts them around Rs 62,000 below the existing 399cc models. The main reason is tax. Since bikes under 350cc attract 18 per cent GST, KTM has been able to bring the price down without changing much else. The bigger 399cc models are still on sale, so buyers can now choose between both engine options.

The new 349.32cc single-cylinder engine makes 41bhp at 8,600rpm and 33.5Nm at 7,000rpm. That is lower than the 399cc motor by 4.5bhp and 5.5Nm, but the rest of the package stays more or less the same. Both bikes continue with USD front forks, rear monoshock suspension, TFT display, 320mm front disc, 240mm rear disc and the same chassis as the bigger bikes. Even the styling is unchanged, so unless you know what to look for, it will be hard to tell the 350 and 390 models apart on the road.
The 350 Duke continues to be the more street-focused motorcycle in the range. It gets an 800mm seat height, 183mm ground clearance and tips the scales at 168kg. The 350 Adventure, meanwhile, is aimed at riders who want to do more touring and rough-road riding. It gets a taller 830mm seat, 230mm of ground clearance, longer-travel suspension and a 19-inch front wheel. Both bikes come with a 14.5-litre fuel tank, which should make them decent long-distance machines too.
What makes these new bikes interesting is where they sit in KTM’s range. The 350 Duke is around Rs 60,000 more expensive than the 250 Duke, while the 350 Adventure sits at a similar distance from the 250 Adventure. At the same time, both 350cc models are around Rs 62,000 cheaper than the 399cc bikes. For many buyers, that could make the 350cc bikes the sweet spot in the line-up.
KTM has also updated the names of its bigger-capacity models. The old 390 Duke is now called the 390 Duke R and is priced at Rs 3.39 lakh (ex-showroom). The 390 Adventure X starts at Rs 3.43 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Adventure S and Adventure R continue higher up the range.
With these new 350cc models, KTM now has a stronger middle ground for riders who want the look, features and feel of the bigger bikes, but without stretching their budget too far.
