KTM has announced key updates to its flagship streetfighter, the 390 Duke, adding cruise control functionality and a new Ebony Black colorway while maintaining its price of Rs 2.95 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The cruise control feature enhances highway riding comfort by maintaining set speeds without constant throttle input. Controlled via left handlebar switches and monitored through the TFT display, the system utilizes the motorcycle's ABS hardware and engine management software to regulate speed efficiently.
The Ebony Black color joins the existing Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue variants, expanding aesthetic choices without any price increase.
Powered by a 399cc LC4c engine producing 46 PS and 39 Nm of torque, the current generation 390 Duke features fully adjustable suspension, multiple riding modes, launch control, and cornering ABS with supermoto functionality.
Known as "The Corner Rocket," the 390 Duke offers reduced unsprung mass and improved handling through its third-generation design. The motorcycle includes sophisticated electronics like traction control, quickshifter, and a track screen displaying racing telemetric data.
KTM entered the Indian market in 2012 through its partnership with Bajaj Auto Limited and has since established over 450 stores nationwide. India now represents KTM's largest global market with nearly half a million customers.
The Austrian manufacturer has built its reputation on racing success, claiming over 350 world championships since 1953 and 20 Dakar Rally victories, with its most recent win in 2025.
The updated 390 Duke models are available immediately at KTM dealerships across India.
