The 2024 KTM 390 Duke Is For Everyone
At first glance, the 2024 KTM 390 Duke struts its stuff, confidently headlining the all new 2024 single-cylinder Duke lineup. Dressed to impress in its signature Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue, it's not just a bike; it's a statement. Those elongated tank spoilers? They're flaunting bold air intakes. And let's not forget the oversized radiator covers and those snazzy LED position lights that tie the whole ensemble together.
Hop on, and a futuristic 5-inch TFT display welcomes you, ready to adapt to your mood. Whether you're cruising in Street Mode or taming the rain with the aptly named Rain Mode, the 390 Duke ensures every ride is tailored to perfection, complete with its standard Cornering MTC. The 2024 390 Duke also gets a new 2-piece frame design that is composed of an all-new steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. This will enhance riding dynamics and greatly improve handling.
Bigger Engine, More Power For The Win
The 2024 KTM 390 Duke is powered by a brand new, sprightly 399cc single-cylinder LC4c engine (up from 373cc) that's been hitting the gym. It's not just leaner and meaner than the previous model, but it's also got that EURO 5+ green badge and a sassy new attitude. Dubbed 'THE CORNER ROCKET', the new 390 Duke is the dream machine for beginner riders looking for the perfect naked sports bike.
The KTM 390 Duke's new engine now pumps out 44.2 horsepower and a beefy 28.8 lb-ft of torque, which is up from 42.9hp and 27.2 lb-ft. These are more than impressive figures for anyone to have fun with, and power is sent to the rear wheel via an improved 6-speed transmission.
The 2024 390 Duke continues to flex with a 43 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge front fork, complete with a 5-click adjustment for those bumpy rides. There's also a split piston rear shock absorber that's as customizable as your morning coffee, ensuring every ride feels just right.
For the first time ever, the new 390 Duke comes with Launch Control. When engaged, the system will keep the engine revs at 7,000rpm with the throttle wide open until you pop the clutch.
Still A High-Value Naked Pocket Rocket
Even though KTM has not yet announced the price for the new 390 Duke model, it will not be too far off from the current price of $5,899 for the 2023 model. With all the upgrades, we could see the price for the 2024 KTM 390 Duke go up to about $6,500. The new 390 Duke will hit the US market sometime this year, and no matter the price, it will still be one of the best value for money naked sports bikes you can spend your money on.
