One can argue that the 390 Duke is KTM’s best motorcycle. With a price tag of Rs. 3.2 lakh, one might argue that it is not at all value for money. If you look at it to commute from point A to B, yes.

This is not the first time a new 390 Duke is spotted. We have seen camouflaged test mules regularly. But this is the first time that an undisguised photo of the new gen Duke 390 has been shared. This sheds new light on the motorcycle allowing us to get a better understanding of the design and equipment on offer.
Even though the design has seen some changes, it still looks unmistakably like a KTM product. 2024 Duke 390 is sporting orange-coloured wheels with blue colour shade on the tank.
