The long-awaited global release of the 2024 KTM 390 Duke has here. The updated model, which features both aesthetic and mechanical upgrades, has just been released around the world. After the revision, the bike now sports a split seat, an enlarged LED headlight, and a redesigned fuel tank cover. It also has an increased single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine capacity of 399cc. The exact power output of the new 390 Duke has not been revealed, although we expect it to be higher than before. It’s equipped with a quickshifter and a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. Despite the two-wheeler from KTM India being just released on the global website, there have been no updates. It’s possible the corporation might unveil the car at this event as well. If that happens, the price of the bike could go up from where it is now.
