2020 KTM 390 Duke

Bodywork & Graphics

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS: The KTM 390 DUKE, although small in size, boasts huge riding attitude. One look at its sharp lines and twin LED headlights and you're hooked by its full-offensive stance. Its READY TO RACE glare definitely grabs attention wherever it goes and, on closer inspection, it's the high-quality parts that seal the deal.
• TFT COLOR DISPLAY: As an absolute first in its class, the KTM 390 DUKE boasts an innovative multicolor TFT display, presenting all the data you need to go faster in a clear-cut, uncluttered way. As you rev the engine, the display bars change color, either spurring you on or telling you to back off when the engine’s still cold. The display also automatically adapts its color to best suit the light conditions around you. Innovation at its best!!!
• MENU SWITCH: Different modes for the various built-in assistance systems can be selected using an illuminated menu switch on the left side of the handlebar. It's very simple and intuitive: flick "up" and "down" through the menu, select the desired setting with the right button or go a step back with the left. Job done. Race on.
• LED HEADLIGHT: The aggressively styled LED headlight on the KTM 390 DUKE is a big highlight in this bike's design and a clear referral to its big brother, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R. Practical as well as looking ultra-mean, it produces outstanding visibility for riding in low light or dark conditions. The parking light, which consists of 20 LEDs, ensures that the bike is highly visible to other road users, keeping you visible while you dominate the streets.

Chassis

• CHASSIS: The KTM 390 DUKE's state-of-the-art chassis, with its lightweight steel trellis frame, makes this bike a real master in the bends. With mass grouped close to the center of gravity, it has maximum maneuverability and precision – ready to win the rush-hour slalom day in, day out.
• SUSPENSION: The KTM 390 DUKE comes as standard with ultra-lightweight, high-performance upside-down WP forks. Using the latest open-cartridge technology, these forks not only perform above expectations when pushed to the limits, but are also nice and easy to maintain. This makes them perfect for all aspects of riding, from relaxed cruising to hammering around on closed circuits and everything in between.
• SHOCK ABSORBER: Thanks to its progressive 150 mm spring, the KTM 390 DUKE will perform in any environment you can throw at it. The preload is adjustable, so you can count on well-balanced suspension whether you’re riding solo or two-up, with or without luggage, on road or on track. The choice is yours.

Engine & Exhaust

• ENGINE & EXHAUST: The KTM 390 DUKE finds itself more at home the steeper you lean it. Its state-of-the-art, single-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts is perfectly tuned to conquer every turn you take on – with the torque to hold the line, and the snappy response to blast out from the apex and into the next bend.
• ENGINE: The KTM 390 DUKE engine not only delivers arm-wrenching torque and hair-raising acceleration, but also good manners in everyday use, all with outstanding fuel economy. This lightweight, compact engine really packs a punch and with 32 kW (44 hp) it's one of the most powerful options out there for A2 riders. Thanks to the ingenious intake design and the meticulous fuel injection system, the KTM 390 DUKE is ready and waiting to tear-up the streets and the circuits alike.
• POWER & TORQUE: A bike as compact and nimble as this one, deserves to pack a solid punch. With impressive power and a dry weight of just 149 kg 328.5 lbs, we did it justice. Thanks to the ingenious intake and exhaust system, the 46 mm throttle body and the meticulous fuel injection system, this strong stroker is ready to leave the rest of the traffic behind at the twist of your wrist.
• SLIPPER CLUTCH: Not only does the slipper clutch open when the engine back-torque becomes too high, it also assists when you open the throttle. The former prevents rear wheel chatter when braking sharply or decelerating – and gives the wheel just that bit of braking for a controlled rear wheel slide. The latter allows the clutch to be pulled and controlled with just one trigger-happy finger – saving you energy and offering greater control – just like the pros.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE: It's the guarantee of a smooth throttle response, more than simply the absence of a throttle cable. The KTM 390 DUKE's ride-by-wire ensures perfect delivery of the readily available and gut-wrenching torque. It also electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into throttle valve positions, perfectly suited to the riding conditions, making this the perfect crossover bike for both road and circuit riding.
• CYLINDER HEAD: Just like the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, the four valves in the cylinder head of the KTM 390 DUKE are actuated by two overhead camshafts and ultra-hard, carbon coated cam followers. The result is an ultra-reliable, long-lasting engine that produces next-level power.
• INJECTION: The intricate engine design, state-of-the-art injection electronics and close-ratio, 6-speed transmission not only help the KTM 390 DUKE to achieve white-knuckle performance, but also extremely low fuel consumption. At the same time, thanks to the regulated catalytic converter, it produces minimal emissions, even when riding at full throttle.
• A2 LICENSE: The KTM 390 DUKE matches all the A2 driver´s license requirements and thanks to its high power-to-weight ratio, it’s one of the most dynamic options out there for new riders.

Ergonomics & Comfort

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT: The KTM 390 DUKE is all motorcycle. It's a 390, but with plenty of room to move around on it, the only numbers that count are the number of corners you can drop into and the number of days you can head out on the road. The upright riding position and relaxed geometry add up to unlimited amounts of cornering fun.
• HANDLEBAR: Hi-tech upright handlebars offer KTM 390 DUKE riders a controlled yet aggressive body position, allowing you to dominate in all aspects of riding. From destroying corners to pulling the perfect stoppie, these bars will give you the balance and confidence you need to attack the road like never before. Clutch and brake levers are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize your cockpit to suit your individual riding style.
• HAND LEVERS: The clutch and break lever are adjustable in order to match the needs of any rider's hand type.

Software & Electronics

• SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS: Highly sophisticated equipment and a TFT dash make this KTM 390 DUKE a force to be reckoned with. Its racy looks and flat-out performance are matched only by the ease-of-use that modern electronics offer.
• ABS: Dual circuit BOSCH ABS is standard equipment on the KTM 390 DUKE. Use it to your advantage to enhance control in a range of conditions.
• SUPERMOTO MODE: Thrill-seeking riders will love the added fun-factor (and extra racetrack control) of the advanced "Supermoto mode", activated at the push of a button. When engaged, the system will only control the front brake. Rear brake pressure is entirely up to the rider's right foot, allowing you to push your riding skills to the absolute limit.
• KTM MY RIDE: The KTM 390 DUKE gives you the handy option to tether your smartphone directly to your bike via the advanced KTM MY RIDE. This easy-to-use upgrade system gives you full control over incoming calls and features a pumping audio player for your favorite riding tunes. All the information pops up on the bike´s display, letting you manage everything from the menu switch, while you keep your hands where they belong – firmly on the bars.
