केटीएम 390 ड्यूक [2022-2023]

The buying experience of the KTM Duke 390 was incomparable to anything. I bought my motorcycle in the month of May 2017 out of the very first lot. I took delivery after all the paperwork was done. My first ride experience was amazing as I twisted the throttle the motorcycle instantly pulled a wheelie outside the KTM showroom and the people who went through watched me like I was a crazy fool. Riding experience is the best. I was a person who considered motorcycles as mere machines who could take me from point A to B. Boy was I wrong. This motorcycle changed the way I look at motorcycles and I was taking it all in. I went on to join online forums, and biker groups inside the city, and went for breakfast rides to nearby cities like Pondicherry, Bangalore, Telangana, etc. Talking about looks and performance this motorcycle boasts looks that cannot be compared to any motorcycle. of course, the Dominar was sharing its engine and internal organs but it was a SOHC, and Duke 390 was a DOHC which made a whole lot of difference. A feature-packed motorcycle that came out of the factory with Ride by wire, slipper clutch, ABS with supermoto mode, TFT display, USD forks, and Metzeler tyres which just hugged the road when I was cornering. If you need your Duke 390 to perform you have to give proper care to it. I went to changing different engine oils from Motul, Castrol, Shell, and Pertonas to perform like anything, and of course, there is a heat management which is not that good. But you have to use Engine Ice Coolant to sort out that issue. Finally, if you are someone who wants to learn what motorcycle riding is all about you have to try riding a KTM Duke 390 at least 100 kms. I am sure you will fall for it. Ride safe.

Many positive points are the quick shifter, auto blipper, ride-by wire, one of the best braking systems, best initial pickup, best-looking bike, TPT display and many options, and many positive sites.

समीक्षक के बारे में

The 390 Duke though, that's for the nutters. It's not the most comfortable and demands a lot from you but if brute performance in a light-weight package is what you're looking for, it doesn't get any better than this in the sub-400cc streetfighter segment.
Is Duke 390 good for daily use?
Yes, it can be the only problem you might face is the heating. Yes, but gives too much acceleration in traffic. Yeah but in traffic your thighs will get burned. Yes, it can be used for daily use with no problem but there is a heating issue in the summer.
