KTM has officially launched the 2025 390 Duke in India, bringing in some exciting updates while keeping the price unchanged at ₹2.95 lakh (ex-showroom). With a new paint scheme and the addition of a cruise control system, the latest version of the 390 Duke further cements its reputation as the most feature-packed streetfighter in its segment.
Cruise Control
One of the biggest highlights of the 2025 KTM 390 Duke is the introduction of cruise control, a feature usually reserved for higher-end motorcycles. KTM has borrowed the system and its switchgear from the new 390 Adventure, making it the first naked bike in its segment to offer this function. This upgrade enhances long-distance riding comfort by allowing riders to maintain a constant speed without throttle input.
Apart from this, the 390 Duke continues to offer an impressive list of features, including:
- 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity
- Multiple ride modes for different riding conditions
- Quickshifter+ for seamless gear shifts
- Ride-by-wire throttle for precise control
- Cornering ABS and traction control for enhanced safety
With these features, the 2025 390 Duke remains one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in the sub-500cc segment.
New Gunmetal Grey Paint Scheme
KTM has also introduced a Gunmetal Grey color option for the 2025 model. This new shade gives the bike a stealthy and aggressive look, adding to its street presence. With this addition, buyers now have more choices in terms of color options, catering to different style preferences.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 KTM 390 Duke continues to be powered by the same 399cc, single-cylinder, LC4c liquid-cooled engine. This motor is known for its punchy performance and high-revving nature, producing:
- 45.3bhp of power
- 39Nm of peak torque
The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox, which works seamlessly with the slipper clutch and Quickshifter+ for a smoother and sportier riding experience. The 390 Duke has always been a performance-oriented machine, and the 2025 model maintains that aggressive character.
Price and Value Proposition
Despite adding cruise control and a new paint option, KTM has kept the price unchanged at ₹2.95 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes the 390 Duke an even better value-for-money proposition, especially considering the advanced electronics and performance it offers.
The 2025 KTM 390 Duke competes with other powerful streetfighters like the BMW G 310 R, Triumph Speed 400, and Honda CB500F. However, with its combination of aggressive styling, high-end features, and now cruise control, the 390 Duke continues to set itself apart as one of the best options in the segment.
