The updated 2025 KTM 390 Duke has been spotted at a dealership yard ahead of its official launch. While the motorcycle retains its aggressive styling and powerful engine, the latest update brings a new color scheme and, more importantly, the addition of a cruise control system. This makes it one of the few bikes in its segment to offer this feature.
Cruise Control
KTM first introduced cruise control on the 390 Adventure, but the brand is now bringing this feature to more models in India. The 2025 390 Duke features the same switchgear as the ADV, including the dedicated +/- rocker switch for cruise control operation. This addition enhances highway touring comfort, reducing rider fatigue on long journeys.
New Gunmetal Grey Color Scheme
Alongside the new feature, KTM has also updated the 390 Duke’s visuals with a striking Gunmetal Grey paint scheme. The front fender, fuel tank, and rear composite subframe now get a matte grey finish, while the tank extensions and headlamp nacelle sport a metallic black treatment. This gives the bike a more aggressive and stealthy look, making it stand out even more on the road.
No Changes to Performance
Mechanically, the 2025 KTM 390 Duke remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by the same 399cc, LC4c, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This motor delivers 45.3bhp and 39Nm of torque and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The combination of a lightweight chassis and a responsive engine ensures that the 390 Duke retains its reputation for sharp handling and thrilling performance.
Expected Pricing
While KTM has yet to officially announce the launch date and pricing for the 2025 390 Duke, it is expected to carry a slight premium over the current model due to the added cruise control feature. Recently, KTM reduced the price of the existing 390 Duke by Rs. 18,000, bringing it down to Rs. 2.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The new version could see a minor price increase when it arrives in showrooms.
With its aggressive styling, new tech features, and unchanged but capable engine, the 2025 KTM 390 Duke is set to strengthen its position as one of the most exciting street bikes in the Indian market. More details on its official launch and pricing are expected soon.
