2025 KTM 390 Duke, with cruise control, launched at ₹3L
What's the story
KTM has officially launched the 2025 model of its popular streetfighter, the 390 Duke, in India.
The new model has been priced at ₹2.95 lakh (ex-showroom), just like its predecessor.
The latest iteration packs some major upgrades such as cruise control and crawl assist. It also gains a unique color scheme called Ebony Black, a three-tone finish of gray, black, and orange hues.
The bike remains powered by a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing approximately 45hp and 39Nm of torque.
Upgrades
New features set it apart from rivals
The new 390 Duke gets a cruise control system, which was previously seen on the 2025 KTM 390 Adventure.
It can be activated using a dedicated button on the left side of the handlebar and riders can set/adjust the speed with another button near the horn.
The bike also boasts a new 'Crawl' feature, a low-rpm assist function that lets riders navigate at slower speeds with just clutch modulation.
The feature comes particularly handy in stop-and-go city traffic situations.
Value proposition
Competitive pricing and market position
The bike continues to be suspended on WP Apex inverted fork, with rebound and compression adjustability
Despite the new features, the price of the 2025 KTM 390 Duke remains unchanged from its predecessor.
This model is significantly cheaper than its competitors like Aprilia Tuono 457 and Yamaha MT-03 by ₹1 lakh and ₹54,900, respectively.
The unchanged pricing strategy highlights KTM's commitment to providing value for money in India's middleweight performance bike segment.
