KTM 390 Duke Price in Kumbakonam

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

Sure, the 200 Duke is the bike with which KTM made its impressive first impression in India. But it’s the 390 Duke that really established the orange brand as a maker of properly serious and quick high-performance motorcycles. It brought in a level of focus and explosiveness that had never been seen at this price point, so it’s not hard to see why it’s had such a lasting impact. The 2024 390 Duke that you see in these pictures is the most comprehensive update that the bike has received in its 10-year stint, and having ridden it on road and track, it’s hard to point out too many areas where KTM could have done better.
