KTM 390 Duke Design and Build
390 Duke is clearly inspired by its elder and most powerful sibling, 1290 Super Duke. The headlight is similar-looking sharp with split LED housing. The fuel tank is now bigger and has a steel outer body and has an edgy extension at both sides. The seat is now wider than before offering more room for the rider and pillion to move around. The steel-trellis frame is now a two-piece unit with the bolt-on sub-frame. Also, the instrument panel is now a TFT color display which adds premium-ness and offers great legibility. The build quality and fit-n-finish have improved over the outgoing model.
