KTM has updated its popular 390 Duke for global markets, with a new colour option and braking hardware. The Austrian manufacturer has opted for a strategic update over a full redesign to enhance rider safety and modernise the bike’s styling while keeping its signature performance intact. The 399cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine continues to be the source of power with 44.38bhp and 39Nm. It comes with a six-speed gearbox and a bi-directional quickshifter. KTM India has yet to confirm if these upgrades will reach the 390 Duke in India, but they are widely anticipated to make their way here. The bike currently starts at Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

2026 KTM 390 Duke: What’s New?

The 390 Duke gets a minor cosmetic refresh in the form of a new Atlantic Blue shade. The tank and side panels are now matte blue hue, while the front fender is black. The alloy wheels now feature a black finish, replacing the previous orange accents and giving the Duke a sharper, more premium streetfighter vibe. Other styling cues carry over from the previous model, including the distinctive angular fuel tank, crisp lines, and minimal bodywork.
