The 2020 KTM 390 Duke continues with the same aggressive streetfighter styling inspired by the bigger 1290 SuperDuke. However, as part of the update, the motorcycle gets new graphics and two new paint schemes.
It is available in Silver Metallic and Ceramic White colour options that come with orange wheels and trellis frame. Nevertheless, the major upgrade comes in the form of the KTM Quickshifter Plus which is offered as standard equipment. The Quickshifter Plus is a bi-directional unit that enables clutchless upshifts as well as downshifts.
The 390 Duke comes powered by a BS6-compliant version of the 373cc, single-cylinder mill. KTM has retained the power figures and the Duke continues to produce 42.9bhp and 37Nm. Apart from these changes the streetfighter remains unchanged. It sports a colour-TFT screen that can be connected to the rider’s smartphone via Bluetooth. Moreover, the 390 Duke also has riding modes and ride-by-wire as part of its electronic kitty. In terms of cycle parts, the bike rides on inverted forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, braking is done by disc brake at both ends along with ABS.
As for competition, the KTM 390 Duke goes up against the BMW G310 R, and Honda CB300R in the country.
The average of the 390 Duke [2021] is 26 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

Nothing bad about this bike best in segment. We can do any Desi Jugaad on this bike without any worries.

I own a duke 390 bs4 version for 2+ years now covering 16000 kms. I must say, it is an awesome everyday companion.Riding experience:-I ride my bike to office and home every day covering 80 kms/day. I also do occasional tours ranging from 200-300 kms. The ride quality and reliability is good. First and foremost is safety. You feel more comfortable and safe in the corners and during high speed braking. The acceleration is sublime and it does that without breaking a sweat. I generally don't prefer carrying pillion so i can't really comment on that but i can say this is not a comfortable bike for a married-family man having the purpose of riding to nearby shops, carrying pillion partner etc., this is best experienced when riding solo.Looks & performance :-Bs4 and now the bs6 looks very similar except the color and decals. Looking stunning.After a couple of tours, I realized the engine, braking performance were great. The enormous grip generated by the stock 'h' rated Metzeler are even more superior. I'd say this bike has got all the best performance components.Servicing and maintenance :-I was a royal enfield owner previously and i don't feel any difference in maintaining duke 390 in terms of costs and wear n tear parts. I do general service once in 4 months and oil service once in 8 months or 7500 kms whichever earlier. General service cost a 3-digit figure and oil service costs me approx. 2000-3500 depending on the additional components like air filter, brake pads etc.,The stock 'h' rated Metzeler lasted in my bike for a straight 15,000 kms (manufacturer claims a mere 8000 kms). I ride my bike in nh and neat tarmac of bangalore so i was able to stretch the life of those tires twice than usual. Replacement tires 'h'-Metzeler (or) 'h'-Michelin (or) 'w'-Apollo will cost you around 11,000 to 13,000 Rs. and they have different life span and ride quality. You may have to explore and find the right choice among these. Chain sprocket costs around 4000 Rs., and mine is still in good condition (at 16000 kms). Regular cleaning and lubricating (every 500 kms or 2 weeks whichever earlier) has stretched the sprocket life as well.With all the above, you may have some understanding on the maintenance and costing involved.I use my bike only for daily commute to office and occasional touring as said above. I constantly get a mileage of 32 kms/litre. I don't revv up a lot and shift gears at approx. 5500 rpm and maintain uniform speeds averaging 70-85 km/h.Pros:-High efficient braking and safetyReliable engineTouring ride qualityCornering and excellent tire grip in dry and wet conditions (with Metzeler)Cons:-Frequent chain clean and lube maintenanceLess tire lifeHigh wear n tear of small parts and minor replacement costs (air filter etc.,)Suitable for solo only (personally I did not feel this bike comfortable for duo rides)
