2017 KTM 390 Duke Ride Photo Gallery

We rode the new KTM 390 Duke last week and were blown away with the kind of value it offered. The bike is fast, can stop the same way and is loaded with features. While we find some reasons to ride this bike again, go through our first ride photo gallery from Bajaj’s test track in Chakan. 

The orange handguards come as a standard accessory. It will be sold through all Probiking showrooms for customers to retrofit in older Dukes. 

The new 390 Duke is equipped with adjustable clutch and brake levers – something we only see on big bikes.

The Metzelers Sportec M5 are sticky tyres and offers plenty of grip in any conditions.

The split headlamp is home to 20 LED lights with 10 on each side. 

The TFT display shows a wide range of ride data. A cluster like this is usually seen only on expensive bikes

The seats are wider and longer and can accommodate a wider body easily. The cushioning is right too for someone who is on the heavier side. 

The heel plates are now longer. The angle has been changed to meet the revised ergonomics. 

Thanks to the ride-by-wire system, the throttle response is much smoother and not jerky. 

The braking performance on this bike is excellent. Front brake disc diameter is 20mm more at 320mm.
