Next-gen KTM 200/390 Duke spied
KTM was recently spotted testing a majorly updated iteration of one of its Duke offerings. At present, it’s unclear whether it was the 200 Duke or the 390 Duke. While the presence of an underbelly exhaust suggests it’s the 200cc model, the incorporation of Metzeler tyres hints that it could be the 390 Duke. What’s confirmed though is that the updates are going to be comprehensive, especially in terms of cycle parts and design.
