KTM 390 Duke Price in Gokak

I bought the DUKE 390 GEN 3 ORANGE on 06/09/2024, and I’m absolutely in love with this bike.
Pros:
1) The bike is incredibly powerful—it’s a monster on the road. No other bike in this segment performs better.
2) It’s strictly made for performance-oriented riders, which is the most important aspect of this bike. It’s a no-nonsense machine.
3) The bike is well-balanced and powerful, with a great design that bike lovers will appreciate. Every second of riding this bike is enjoyable.
4) Overall, KTM offers a good package at this price range.
Cons:
1) The GPS navigation is useless and doesn’t work well.
2) Better grip tyres are needed for optimal performance. They could provide better tyres without increasing the current price.
3) Riding with a pillion is not a good idea with this bike.

About the Reviewer

It's been 6 months, and I really love this bike. Very easy to handle in cities and even in traffic conditions. I love the design language of the bike, it resembles the new Superduke, which I really like. No heating issue as such, you will feel only in traffic to traffic conditions. Under 5000 rpm it is very easy to ride in cities and when you go beyond 5000 rpm it goes like a rocket.
Right now I'm getting about 28 kmpl which is good. The suspension of the front and rear are too good as you can easily adjust depending upon your riding style.
The only complaint I have on this bike is on seating. Seats are pretty much hard for long rides and for a rider you don't get much space to move around. Also the seat height is a bit short considering my height (6ft). For shorter rider it's made for each other.
Also the headlight is poor, even after adjusting the headlight position, the light is not enough on the highway (which is obvious as it is LED), I recommend you add an auxiliary light to it. For city riding the headlights are good but not for highways. Other than that there's no complaint as such. The engine is refined, there is vibration but not too much. Maintenance are servicing are pretty much cheap, costing you around 2500. So yeah If you are planning to buy, you better buy it and you will never regret it.
Thanks for reading

1. Buying experience was good it was a fast delivery within 2 days.
2. I will say one word for my riding experience “Rocket”. It is so easy to get out of traffic.
3. Looks are not to everyone’s taste but it looks awesome and of course, it’s KTM design.
4. So far I have done 3 services with no issues yet.
5. Pros are so many that I can’t express here but the cons are exhaust it’s too much low noise that even a person can’t tell whether it’s really a 3.8Lac bike. But its design says it’s a mid-expensive bike.
Overall my experience is really good with the Duke 390 Gen 3
