The third-generation of the KTM Duke 390 is finally here without any camo, and it certainly looks every-bit sinister.
Yes! The all-new Duke 390 looks more beefier and aggressive than before. It now gets an exposed sub-frame with a larger airbox fixed in it.
The 2023 KTM Duke 390 features a 5-inch all-digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. Furthermore, there is a launch mode now, along with three riding modes - Street, Rain, and Track.
The powerplant is now a 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled setup, power figures remain hidden. The gearbox is a 6-speed unit with a slip and assist function for the clutch.
The Austrian brand has updated the suspension components too. The 2023 KTM Duke 390 now gets adjustability for pre-load and rebound for the rear shock absorber as well, which is mounted in an offset fashion.
The new Duke 390 gets a new 320 mm front rotor and a 240 mm rear disc. The braking setup also gets modes like the outgoing model. While the rims are reported to be lighter this time, they will come shod with Apollo or MRF tyres in India.
The all-new avatar of the motorcycle could go on sale in the Indian market by early next year or late this year.
