The 2024 KTM 390 Duke has been unveiled globally and this is the first time KTM is using a heavily reworked engine on the new Duke. While the motorcycle is still a couple of months away from its official launch in India, here’s a detailed photo gallery of the new 390 Duke.
The new 390 Duke now resembles even more like the flagship KTM 1290 Super Duke. The new bodywork looks extremely sharp and aggressive, especially those extended tank shrouds.
The 2024 KTM 390 Duke features a radical-looking, LED headlight that features split LED daytime running lights. The low-slung headlight positioning and the wide bezels for the DRLs offer a menacing look to its fascia.

The 390 Duke is powered by an all-new 399cc, liquid-cooled motor that makes 44.25bhp and 39Nm of peak torque. The single-cylinder mill complies with the Euro 5.2 emission norms, and show comply with the OBD2 norms in India. The engine is paired to a six-speed gearbox and features a slipper clutch as standard.
Despite the new updates and a bigger engine, the overall dry weight of the bike has gone down by 2kg and it tips weighing scales at 165kg as against the 167kg on the current version.
The 2024 KTM 390 Duke also features a new TFT instrument cluster with a dedicated Track mode, which changes the display layout compared to the other riding modes. It also gets a new Launch Control feature, which can only be used when the motorcycle is in the Track mode.
