- 2017 KTM Duke 390 Review | 300 KM Road Test | RWR
Intro shot using Zhiyun Smooth Q: amzn.to/2pHUS5Q
Hey this Rahul and how is it going everyone, over the last weekend I covered over 300 km on the 2017 KTM Duke 390, we rode it in city, highway and also did some cornering tests pushing the bike as much as I could, when it comes to the KTM Duke 390, I speak with experience.
I know it's making that same 43.5 BHP of power with an increased torque of 37 NM @7000 RPM, which is just a shade higher than the 35 Nm of the previous version. But all that fairing, and body work along with the new Euro 4 compliant side slung exhaust has made the motorcycle gain 10 extra kg of weight and that should affect the performance.
But that is just theoretical. In reality, the motorcycle doesn't feel any less powerful, in fact because of the new throttle by wire with very little throttle angle, the bike delivers a power which is instantaneous and feels to have a stronger punch in the low and midrange over the previous version.
I also feel they have changed the engine mapping to give the motorcycle a bit more grunt in lower revs and the engine seems to have a different power delivery than the RC390 which I also tested earlier. The power on the RC came on smoother but the Duke 390 still gives that Hooligan feel in the first gear acceleration but they have managed to tame the initial jerk a bit. Simply put, this is more fun.
KTM Duke 390 mileage- 22-25 km/l
KTM Duke 390 Top Speed- 167 kmph
KTM Duke 390 Sound has changed due to the side slung exhaust.

Ride With Rahul should I buy a Dominar or KTM Duke 200 for college purpose
Hey there Rahul ...I am really confused between 390 and dominar ...it's not like I travel every now and then but I do make a long trip once in a year...which bike would you recommend!? Is Ktm manageable for touring?
In my opinion ktm should provide same tft console on 2017 rc 390 !
Due to the current design, this will look odd on the RC.
Great review Rahul, can't wait to get a go on one of these puppies myself! PS We need to see more of your girlfriend ;0)
TheMissendenFlyer lol, I can't wait to ride that big monster you rode, but they don't even sell here, if money was not an issue, I would already be on that flight to UK.
Everyone wants more girl action, even the haters do, but they don't admit it.
TheMissendenFlyer 😂😂
I personally want the adventure s to come to India tbh
Great video bro.
Planning to buy one.
After your review can't find any significant rivals at this price point.
Thanks.
Great Job buddy..!!
Though I have already booked the new duke 390, I never had a chance to put myself on the wheels, and I was a bit sceptical coz of that. Your detailed review for the same made it quite easy to clear my doubts..

lancy monice Do check my channel also 😊
Do give your valuable feedback 😊
RB Reviews sure bro...👍
Great review Rahul. Liked all ou Videos,, I loved the Vdo Editing. don't let the haters bring you down. and keep up the great work.
Suggest me to decide if i should go for D400 or Duke 390.. Me as a rider i do travel a lot,be it be a city ride and long distances, nd found D400 more of a travel purpose bike and the 1 u reviewed is always throttle thirsty. presently am owning Ns200 n Avenger to meet both deal on roads... (NS on city n the later for cruising long miles).. willing to upgrade n go for 1 rather keeping 2 to meet both my riding passions burn..
+PulsarManiac_AB overall I personally felt the Duke to be the real all-rounder.
shots fired! you should have mentioned HMSI and sent them this video. They are content with activa sales by the looks of it, but I can't complain about the engine again,a ktm 390 owner was praising my bike saying it doesn't feel like 32000km run bike and he owns a service center, I took his 390 and had a blast in the meanwhile :p
when I said that I didn't have any particular brand in mind, in India most brands are following that same strategy.
Ride With Rahul yes but I am saying honda should make it known to them, not everyone are happy with their quarter litre line up, 250rr,300r,500r all these are not hitting the market. Yamaha have the r3 but with 0 marketing, suzuki don't have a bike as they just rentered the market,honda has had the 250r for 6 years without even a legit update. I left out hero as you can't expect anything other than new splendor models lol
Rahul, have you come across or seen or sat on any seats that can be purchased to replace the seat on these Dukes? Just bought my 2019 Duke 390 and the seat is hard as a rock on Chamundi Hill!
in love with your pronunciation rahul👌👌👌
+Karthick M thanks!
Nice video. I like it. Now I’m more motivated for buy this amazing bike.
+Angel Resendiz thanks for watching, do subscribe for my next videos and check out my motorcycle short film, I released it yesterday.
Ride With Rahul I will check! Thank you.
for sure bro!
Fantastic intro,it would have been more impactful if you had chosen the night set up but yeah I know shooting at night is a hassle because a lot of attention has to be paid to the lighting and the iso settings :-)
+Swapy Bond - The Biker and added to that due to low visibility, I cant go as fast as daytime. Thanks for watching!
Wow what a video Rahul... amazing man you’ve explained is everything we need to know thank you so much mate...
+Sathwik Ramesh bro, where are you from?
Ride With Rahul Bangalore man
+Sathwik Ramesh thanks for the support man, here it's so hard to get bikes for Review, not like Bangalore, I could really shine there.
Ride With Rahul Where are you from Rahul!?
+Sathwik Ramesh Kolkata

Which version of the handguards do u have? High or low? To be honest I don't know what the difference is.
Which one is best CBR 250 2k18 model or RC390 ,i need for daily commutes and occasional touring
nice review brother, it was worth the wait ! 😊
Many thanks! Do enter my giveaways on Instagram and Facebook.
Ride With Rahul your RC390 review was put together better, in my view. not in any way saying this bad or something.
This one I lost the live audio, did a redub and edited back again in post production, lost the flow in which I wanted to work. But I think the problem was that in the middle the part where I was doing first person view, that place could have some other angles and insert shots, where I took a little shortcut to make the video release faster.
bro.. is it any problem to modify bike with adding new lights, illuminations,extra fittings etc.. is it affect the battery in future?.kindly upload a review of illumination of motor cycle.
hatsoff dude..
Selling n650 due to heavy wt and less manuverability, planning fr a lighter one , more flickable ... gud review. Thx.
does it shut off after its heated alot ??? ... between the benellli TNT 300 and Duke 390 2017 wic is a better all-rounder ?
awsm video ..... your informations will help ....

Thanks! Please do subscribe as we are covering a lot of international motorcycles these days.

Hi is heating more in duke 390 than 250.can I use in city commute.
Whice is best rc 390 or duke 390 2017 i want to buy plz tell me
benelli tnt300 or duke 390
what would you prefer?
I saw your Dominar review and this one too. Which bike would be better suited to touring and why?
+Leslie Pinto currently this edges out the Dominar slightly, first of all this is lighter and handles better, with the chassis giving better stability along with the better tyres.
The TFT console, I see that as a bonus while touring as you don't have worry about missing important calls from family (small advantage but I like it)
In touring on mountain or Twisties this will have better advantage as the bike feels more powerful.
The only thing is the Dominar gives you a power cruiser like feel, whereas this is a well designed naked bike with extreme power delivery.
Some people like the extra power and the hurried nature of the bike.
Others prefer the calmer nature of the Dominar.
The TFT display with Bluetooth is redundant with most of us using Bluetooth headsets. But posture wise, seat comfort, vibrations, fatigue etc which bike would be better for say 6 to 8 hours in the saddle? Yes the power delivery of the 390 is a given.
+Leslie Pinto it's not redudant, it's made for people who are using Bluetooth headsets, as modern phones can pair 5 devices at once. You can see who is calling you, then accept or reject the call, I think it's a really great feature and I myself spent more than 8 hours on the saddle with a 2 hour lunch break in the middle and I was really comfortable and a lot more than my bike the previous Duke.
You need fuel to survive a tour as well as money. Buy a dominar and forget the poor 25kmpl milaege , get 32-35 kmpl and enjoy
on the Bike shown at the 2:25 mark I don't see how those mirrors work for you at all since they are pretty much straight up in the air and not curved outward at all.
Bro how is the suspension of rc 390 as compared to duke 390 can we do off road on it sometimes
i am planing to buy 1 bike i am going to use it for office and sometime short touring which one should i buy yamah fz 25 or ktm duke 390 or ktm rc 390

Great review though.... Well should i go for a 2nd hand duke 390 2017 model.? Will it last for long run are these Machines reliable and long lasting if maintained properly... Please help... I'll only use it thrice a week maybe...
Haven't had any major issues with the Duke 390, several of my friends own it
For a start i thaught it was official teaser of Duke390 😂😂 But overall review is worth watching than others🙌
Thanks bro!
Thanks to you brother i am palnning to go for Duke 390👈
Hey bro which 1 i need to buy in 2017 rc or duke???
nice starting
Glad you liked it!
Hi Rahul hope you are doing good........ I am planning to buy new duke 390 at the same time my friends are suggesting me to wait for the 2019 edition. Could you advise me on this ?!?!
Don't think the Duke 390 will get any major upgrades next year, you can safely get this year's version.
Very Good review ,enjoyed it. Cheers... :D
Good job 👍👍
thanks!
is new Duke 390 is still have any heating issues plz reply I go to buy so plz tell
Good one rahul... There are not many who can give a detail review on the bike.. Whats making me laugh 😄 my ass out was reading the comments of few brainless people here.. A wise word here and I quote (A man can never get satisfied with a bike, car, mobile or girl etc etc all these are subjective to once mindset) There is really no need to hurt, harm or abuse someone. Buy what suits you and keep calm..
awesome 😎😎

Rahul
Please do a comparison between D390 and Lianchino.
Is it UV resistant
My question is this, would you trade in ur old gen duke for this one?
+M.R Raghav if someone doesn't want to upgrade to a bigger bike then they can. I am all for it.
Does the new duke 390 also face heating issues?
