2025 KTM 390 Duke
A few weeks ago, the price of the 390 Duke was slashed by Rs 18,000, bringing the starting price down to Rs 2.95 lakh. Even with this MY2025 update, it continues with the same price tag. That said, the biggest highlight of this update is the addition of cruise control. On the left handlebar, where several switches are located, a new switch has been placed to the left of the hazard light button. This cruise control on the KTM 390 Duke brings ABS hardware and software into play for controlling the speed. Notably, this feature was first introduced in the recently launched KTM 390 Adventure. Now, the automaker is introducing it in more products.
Other than that, the paint scheme is completely new, featuring a Ebony Black colour where the front fender, fuel tank, and composite sub-frame are finished in grey. This is quite similar to the KTM 250 Duke's Ebony Black paint, but that one has more of a piano black finish. Now, there are three color options to choose from for this bike: Electronic Orange, Atlantic Blue, and Ebony Black.
From a performance perspective, it same as before, featuring the LC4c 398.3 cc single-cylinder engine that produces 46 PS and 39 Nm of torque. It also includes launch control, a 5-inch TFT display, ride modes, traction control, a slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, USD forks, fully adjustable suspension, quick shifter, and trellis frame.

Verdict
The all-new KTM 390 Duke promises to offer a more pleasant riding experience along with its signature thrilling performance. Moreover, the new paint scheme gives this mean-looking naked bike even more attitude, making it look better than the previous all-orange option, which appeared too loud. Thankfully, the price remains the same, even with the introduction of a new feature. So, it's a win-win scenario for customers.
