2025 KTM 390 Duke New Features and Design Updates
Cruise Control: The 2025 KTM 390 Duke inherits the cruise control feature from the 390 Adventure. Despite being a streetfighter, the Duke now offers excellent highway manners, making long-distance rides more comfortable. The system is integrated into the revised left-hand side switchgear, allowing riders to engage cruise control with the press of a button. Speed adjustments can be made using buttons on the left side of the horn, and the system is disengaged by pressing the brakes. This addition simplifies the riding experience on highways.

Crawl Feature: Another feature adopted from the 390 Adventure is the Crawl Function. This low RPM assist helps riders navigate slow-moving city traffic with ease. By modulating the clutch, riders can avoid engine stalling, making stop-and-go situations less stressful.
KTM introduces a stunning new colour option: Ebony Black. This triple-tone finish combines grey, black, and orange, offering a sleek and subtle look. The tank extension features a black colour with orange highlights on the ‘390’ graphic, along with ‘Duke’ stickering in white at the edge of the tank extension. The black finish on the wheels complements this new colour scheme. This addition caters to riders looking for a darker, understated aesthetic.

Competitive Edge
At Rs 2.95 lakh, the KTM 390 Duke offers outstanding value for money in the middleweight segment. It is significantly more affordable than its competitors, including the Aprilia Tuono 457 and Yamaha MT-03. The unchanged pricing from the 2024 model, which saw a reduction of Rs 18,000, makes the 2025 update even more appealing. The addition of new features and the much-anticipated blacked-out colour scheme enhance the bike’s appeal without any price hike.
