2023 KTM Duke 390 - Details
The test mule which has been spied on had some interesting changes to it. The first thing to notice is the all-new bodywork design. The headlight is an LED unit that looks similar to the one on the Indian test bike. Additionally, the fuel tank extensions are sharp and large in size. Notably, the rear end also gets some minor tweaks to it. The subframe is also all-new bolt-on aluminum one.
Additionally, the test bike had new alloy wheels; similar to the ones on the new RC 390. Moreover, the disc brake size at the front is significantly bigger. Meanwhile, the new model is also expected to carry forward new features. The primary will be the addition of a new colour TFT display with revised graphics and added info. Also, it is being reported that the heat management on the new bike will be better. This will be due to the addition of two fans in the radiator. KTM can possibly add new colours and graphics to the updated model.
Verdict
The new Duke 390 is expected to arrive globally by the end of this year. Meanwhile, KTM will update its whole Duke range with these changes. However, the addition of new features will lead to an increase in its prices. We're expecting that KTM India will launch the new Duke sometime either in late 2023 or early 2024.
