2024 KTM Duke 390 Review | Sagar Sheldekar Official
Sarge heads to Chakan to swing his leg around the new KTM Duke 390 which now packs a more powerful engine, better electronics and fully adjustable suspension to take the performance game ahead. But these changes have also come with a price hike of Rs. 13000. Is it worth the extra dough and more importantly can it recapture the performance that the original Duke 390 blew us away with? Sarge gives it the beans to find out.

Hi Sagar ! Thanks for giving us undoubtedly extremely good videos through your channel. On 29th of August I was expecting you at the grand launch of the KARIZMA XMR, for which KARIZMA lovers were eagerly waiting. In my opinion this launch event could have been better if we found you there and your feedback is important for many people like me,while we are planning to spend our hard earned money on a bike. I therefore requesting you to give your feedback on this Premium product from an Indian manufacturer, it this justify the "Proud to be Indian" tag or its gonna be "प्रतिष्ठा में प्राण गंवाना "...please try to share your ride experience with KARIZMA XMR and give us a detailed review on this bike.
“That's not the reason you're gonna buy this bike. The reason you will is because of this” Always remember these iconic words from you that give us goosebumps about this power beast!

Very nice review, very technical covering all aspects , amazing shots of you using the knee slider and as usual your wheelies don't disappoint. The fact that you felt the electronics were not intrusive whilst on track is quite helpful. I was planning to get the aprillia rs 660 as a track tool , but will give this bike a look in.i am still learning the track skills so something like this will be nice

Interesting to know that you guys got it with bidirectional quick shifter. We never got a quick shifter in the US. In fact, we do not even get it as a power part from KTM. We have had it for the new RC though, only as a power part and not stock. Thanks for the review. We are yet to see this in the flesh here. Hopefully in the next few months.

They have had a make shift quickshifter on the last gen too but this one is more refined
Great review. For someone who's looking to have a 2 bike garage with one adv(him 450 or possibly the next gen ktm adv 390) and one naked/roadster, would you recommend the duke 390 or the speed 400? I understand theres a difference in power delivery and character, but as per your experience which felt like the better overall product? Is the price delta of 1 lakh justified?
This was an amazing review, would love to see a side by side review for both KTM and TVS. thank you Sargent and the team for putting out such a lovely content

How does this feel compared to the first gen? I have the BS4 second gen 390 Duke and it feels watered down because of the ride by wire throttle. Is the new one as fast and as punchy as the first gen?

Watching the ending I think someone or KTM can design a seat which is for track use specifically... I mean taller and giving more space to the rider to move back by redesigning the pillion seat as well.

Nice. Saken Area In Pune, Maharashtra? Or At Ratnagiri In Maharashtra? Great 👍 Location For Video 📹 👏 Nice Eye Soothing Scenery In Background. 😊😊❤❤😊😊
I love Sagar's reviews simply because he is so passionate about riding and takes each and every bike to the possible limits! Heck, none of the official propaganda of a given brand sounds so convincing as Sagar when he tells you whether a given bike is really good! And I love KTM too! Thanks to KTM and Bajaj partnership, Indians as well as the rest of the world have got accessible performance - even though the current set of KTM bikes are way more expensive than the original launch prices - even now these are difficult to beat in terms of combination... I am loving all the competition now happening where TVS is also trying to up the ante in terms of fantastic features in RTR 310...But with these updates, KTM Duke 390 is still much ahead of the TVS Apache RTR 310... Very hard to beat this one!!
Yes, I need this!

I have one query. Is the extra panel(not sure what to call it) under the seat to increase the seat height from 800 to 820mm is available in India as an accessory? Or its only for the exports models only which comes as stock?
