The all-new 2024 KTM 390 Duke is expected to be launched in the Indian market very soon. The latest iteration of the roadster-segment motorcycle will benefit from several styling and mechanical upgrades over its predecessor. The styling, for example, will receive significant changes, and the 2024 model will get an updated design for the headlight and the fuel tank. Further, it will receive a redesigned chassis along with a new composite rear sub-frame that looks similar to the unit on the KTM 890 Duke.

Then, the updated mechanical specifications are likely to include a relatively higher-displacement engine than the current model. While official details are unavailable yet, the 2024 model could receive a 399cc engine. Moreover, the spy images suggest that this upcoming motorcycle will receive a slightly different design for its crankcase and head. The added displacement could result in slightly improved power and output figures. For reference, the current model makes 43bhp and 37Nm.

The hardware on the 2024 model will include RC390-sourced lighter wheels and braking setup. Meanwhile, the suspension setup will include WP-sourced, upside-down front forks and an asymmetrically-mounted rear WP monoshock. The braking tasks will be handled by disc brakes on both wheels, while the safety net will comprise dual-channel ABS with Supermoto mode and cornering function and a traction control system. Other electronics will include full-LED lighting, a Bluetooth-enabled colour-TFT display, and a quickshifter.

The updated model should carry a price premium over the outgoing version. We expect the 2024 KTM 390 Duke to be priced at approximately Rs. 3.20 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison, the current version is available at Rs. 2.97 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
