Braking The brakes offer excellent stopping power.
Quickshifter The bi-directional quick-shifter is addictive, and you rarely need to use the clutch.

About the Reviewer

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

1. I purchased in August 2018 and it was difficult to find Orange but White was readily available.
2. I buy it for highway riding only to free from the shackles of rail and airlines.
3. Gen 2/Bharat IV was the first Indian launch which was launched world wide with same features and looks. Unlike before, KTM decided not to create disparity between Indian users and users across world especially Europe.
4. It needs genuine parts which are only available at service centre. Regular service irrespective of KMs run make the bike readily available for highway use. It needs maintenance of chain lube/clean and oil spray on electrical during winter.
Pros:
- Excellent power to weight ration.
- All the Bajaj Dominar parts are inter changeable i.e. from nut to piston head
- Same as international model launched.
- Highest number of service centres compared to Kawasaki, Triumph, BMW, Ducati, Honda Premium segment, Suzuki Premium Segment, Indian, Harley.
- Tyre options available from Ceat to Michelin.
- Can go non stop 6000km or 800KM/Day.
- It can go without starting radiator for 800km if highway air keep on falling on engine.
- An option for users who need more than utility bike but cannot afford 600cc cateogry.
Cons
- Not at all for city use which is widely misinformed among users.
- City air is insufficient and thus, start radiator at once decreasing mileage and gulping petrol.
- Only available to those retailers which sell Dominar parts ie. 400cc category.
- Not for beginners.
- Service cost is more than utility bikes but less than 600cc category.
- Chain needs cleaning and lubing at every 400-600km, depending upon the road cleanliness.
- Out of bound for local mechanic.
- One part failure can make you strand anywhere.
