2017 KTM Duke 390 Unveiled - Photos

The new Duke 390 is powered by a 373cc single cylinder engine that produces 43.3bhp @ 9,000rpm and 37Nm of torque @7,000rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

The slipper clutch is standard on the new bike which also gets adjustable brake and clutch levers.

The engine has been tuned to be better refinement and smoother power delivery. The Duke 390 uses a side-mounted exhaust to help it comply with stricter Euro-IV emission norms.

The fuel tank is now larger at 13.4-litres (the previous 390 has a 11-litre tank) but the 390 has gained an extra 10 kilos in weight and now weighs in at 149 kilograms (dry).

However, the biggest change to the new Duke 390 comes in the form of design as it adopts a design based on the 1290 Super Duke with the bifurcated LED headlamp up front.

The sculpted fuel tank extends outwards to the front with the help of some rather pointed panels.

The rear end of the new bike has been revised heavily as well with a new subframe and a wedge shaped taillamp along with stepped seats.

The new Duke 390 features 43mm upside down forks which are lighter than the ones on the current bike. The rear maintains the monoshock setup. The front brake is also 20mm larger at 320mm.

The new TFT display up front showcases all the relevant details that the rider needs like the speed, gear, odo and trip meters, fuel gauge etc.

The TFT Display also features Bluetooth connectivity allowing riders to attend to calls and listen to music on the go

The new KTM Duke 390 will be manufactured at Bajaj's manufacturing plant in Chakan, Maharashtra is expected to go sale in India in early 2017.
