AUSTRIAN DUKE'S ASSAULT:
New 390 Duke is the latest entrant in KTM's model line-up.
It has been some time since we first heard about a Duke that was being developed to fill the gap between the 200 Duke and the 690 Duke. And now, after a long wait, the new Duke is finally here.
At the EICMA show held recently in Milan, KTM unveiled a new motorcycle, called the 390 Duke. This new Duke will be placed below the 690 and just above the 200 Duke.
The 390 Duke was one of the major attractions at the Milan show and we are glad to inform our readers that this new Duke will make its way to India very soon.
this new bike has all the right elements that clearly accenuateits Supermoto design and , yes , it carries the quintessential Duke family DNA. Styling features like the beely WP USD front suspension and a tiny bikini fairing a sleek fuel tank with shrouds that extend beyond the length of the tank and a short rear-end that seems to float in the air simply give the 390 Duke an aggressive and mean looking stance. The steel trellis frame painted in KTM orange, Y-spoke design alloy wheels, trendy and youthful graphics and uunderbelly exhaust add to the overall appearance add to t he overall appearance of this bike.
The new 390 Duke is powered by a 373.3-cc single cylinder motor that develops 45 PS of power and 36Nm of torque. Which means, performance will surely be a strong point of this new Duke, though we shall have to wait till the road test.
Apart from this, KTM will also offer the 360 Duke with ABS, Bajaj will produce this bike at the company's Chakan family,near Pune, for domestic as well as export markets. Local production means that the 390 Duke will be priced attractively. We expect the price to be in the range of 2-2.5 lakh. We expect to see this bikes in the showroom by early 2013.
We can also say that a bigger Pulsar will also follow this Duke. Bajaj will use the same 373.2-cc engine from the Duke to power the bigger pulsar. However , we expect the new Pulsar to radically different from the Pulsar 200NS.
