- 2 days ago
The new generation KTM 390 Duke is the first comprehensive upgrade since 2017. It not only redesigns the appearance, but also replaces it with a new engine, and also improves the chassis, shock absorption, electronic control, etc. It also makes significant changes to the issues. Upgrade: It can even be said that the new model has undergone radical changes compared to the old model. The manufacturer even stated that the new 390 Duke has been updated by 90%.
Although the new exterior design does not deviate from the general line of the previous generation Duke model, there are many detailed changes that make the 390 Duke feel fresh. The new eyeshadow shape not only completely eliminates the "split face", but also has richer layers. Daytime running lights surrounding the outer ring of the headlights and changes in the internal structure of the headlights make the entire front face look more beautiful. The new fuel tank side housing area is larger and its shape is more in line with the direction of the body lines. Smooth body proportions with redesigned subframe and rear end give a more combat-like feel.
The new steel tube chassis is made of chromolybdenum steel. The structure is completely different from the old model. The subframe abandons the steel tube material of the old model and uses a newly designed cast subframe. The new asymmetric rear swingarm also looks thicker and stronger. It is reported that the new frame is lighter, as well as having stronger torsional rigidity and stability.
The new 43mm WP Apex inverted front fork supports 5-level compression and preload adjustment and 150mm of travel. Due to the new chassis and new swingarm design, the new WP Apex rear shock has been changed from the previous mid-position to a side-mounted design. Additionally, multi-stage recoil preload adjustment allows for rear-mounted installation.
The front 320mm single disc is fitted with ByBre radial four-piston calipers, and the rear brake has been upgraded with a two-piston floating caliper. It is mated to a 240mm single disc and comes with Supermoto ABS and cornering ABS as standard. At the same time, the redesigned five-spoke wheels are lighter and stronger. It is 4.3 kg lighter than the old model's rims and the tires have also been replaced with Michelin Power 6.
The new 5-inch TFT full-color display not only supports music and phone connections, but also supports route planning, navigation and tour timing functions. At the same time, the new 390 Duke uses the Bosch EMS RBW electronic throttle, so it has multiple riding modes (street, rainy day, track). Other electronic control functions include MTC traction control (corner TC), launch initiation, and even an optional two-way quickshifter.
The new model is equipped with an LC4c single-cylinder water-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 398.7cc, a maximum horsepower of 45hp (33kw)/8500rpm and a maximum torque of 39Nm/7000rpm.
