KTM Duke 390 2025 Update Review – The Duke 390 from KTM has been a high performer in the category of performance motorcycles in India. In 2025, KTM made it look classier, more powerful, and technically more polished. The target riders for this machine want to pursue only genuine performance when riding to work during the weekdays as well as on weekend rides. Thus, apart from speed, the new Duke 390 is being marketed as more refined and easier to ride.
Design And Road Presence
The 2025 actually makes the duke 390’s design appear rugged. The colour schemes, along with the sharp tank extensions of its muscular fuel tank, have a proper streetfighter look with edgy body panels. The front LED headlamp, along with the DRL setup, offers a premium look where all the fittings appear as if they have nothing to do with the past. Not just bold looking on the road, the bike also stands out to great effect in traffic.
Engine And Power Delivery
The machine is powered by a 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that is far better refined and torquey than its predecessor. Low RPMs give a hearty pull, and above, so city riding becomes that easy-peasy kind of thing. Great mid-range power delivery makes highway overtakes feel effortlessly simple. Yes, the engine din is called “fun” at the higher revs, while the number of vibrations was reduced compared to the last generation.
Ride Quality And Handling
Most pronounced is the ride quality, an aspect that has been improved the most in the 2025 update. With the new chassis and refined suspension tuning, the bike feels very stable and comfortable on our roads. The bike inspires great confidence in the presence of potholes and bad roads. Among the best in its class when it comes to cornering abilities, the Duke 390 inspires confidence in the rider with sharp handling and solid grip.
