The eagerly-anticipated 2024 KTM 390 Duke has finally been unveiled for the international market. Globally, the revamped model has arrived with significant cosmetic alterations in addition to engine modification. Post the update, the bike has a new split seat design, a wider LED headlight, and larger fuel tank shrouds. Additionally, it also features a bigger 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. Although the power figures have not yet been made public, we anticipate that they will be greater with the new 390 Duke. It has a slipper clutch, a quickshifter, and a six-speed gearbox. There are no updates on the two-wheeler from KTM India, despite the fact that it has recently been made public on the worldwide website. We anticipate that the company may also present the vehicle here. If it does, the bike might fetch a higher asking price than the current version.
