The added touring-friendly aid doesn’t increase the naked’s asking price
KTM has officially launched the 2025 390 Duke at the same existing asking price of ₹2.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The tweaked 390 Duke now gets cruise control and a stunning dark ‘Ebony Black’ shade. The bike had already begun reaching dealerships a couple of days ago and deliveries have started already.
The cruise control feature debuted with the 390 Adventure a couple of weeks ago and it worked flawlessly on the ADV. We were hoping that the same aid would make its way onto the naked, and a few KTM officials had told us in secret that the 2025 update of the bike would get the touring-friendly feature. There’s also a dedicated custom ‘C’ button next to the horn that you can predetermine to access a certain feature of the bike in an instant. Hopefully, toggling through the electronics is going to be just as quick as the new 390 Adventure as KTM took a serious step forwards in this regard.
Besides these changes, the 390 Duke remains identical. The 399 cc thumping heart continues to drive out 45.37 bhp and 39 Nm with a bi-directional quickshifter making life a breeze. Three riding modes, adjustable suspension, and IMU-assisted electronic rider aids remain strong selling points for the pocket rocket.
The only area we wish KTM India did change is the rubber. The brand is persisting with Metzeler Sportec M5 H-rated tyres that aren’t the best to match the bike’s capabilities. There are far better tyre options from Indian tyre makers, such as Reise TraceRad, Ceat SportRad or TVS Protorq Extreme, that complement the naked’s lunatic character well.
