KTM is gearing up to launch the 2025 edition of the 390 Duke in India. The updated bike was recently spotted at a dealer yard, with the most notable change being the introduction of cruise control.



The new 390 Duke is expected to get the same cruise control system that has been introduced on the new 390 Adventure. Images reveal a cruise control button positioned under the engine kill switch and +/- buttons on the right-hand side.



The overall aggressive styling of the 390 Duke has been carried over unchanged. It features an LED headlamp with integrated LED DRLs, a digital instrument console and a 2-piece stepped seat.



Powering the new 390 Duke will be the familiar 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It delivers 45.3 BHP and 39 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike is equipped with a USD fork and a mono-shock at the rear. It has disc brakes at both ends.

Feeling a bit shortchanged since I missed these updates as I bought mine in Dec 2024. Missed the price cut and now the addition of the cruise control! I don't think I would ever have used it though since I never plan to tour with it but would have been nice to have.

The new colour looks nice but I still prefer the Duke 250 black black theme. Looks more menacing.

Cruise Control added, no increase in price. Well done KTM.

Subjectively, the new color combination didn't click big with me, due to the grey segments. The Duke 250 black looks more royal to me. Still, the best looking 390 comparing with other two.

KTM started to realise, there's rider movement preferring premium looking than loud.

KTM 390 Duke with cruise control launched at Rs 2.95 lakh

KTM has launched the 2025 edition of the 390 Duke at Rs 2.95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The latest iteration of the streetfighter gets cruise control as standard.



The cruise control system offered on the 390 Duke is similar to that on the new 390 Adventure. The speed can be set using the switch on the handlebar and monitored by the digital instrument console. The system employs ABS hardware and software for controlling the speed.



Powering the new 390 Duke will be the familiar 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It delivers 45.3 BHP and 39 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The bike is equipped with an adjustable front USD fork and a mono-shock at the rear. It has disc brakes at both ends supported by cornering ABS and Supermoto ABS. Other features include launch control, quickshifter, and traction control with two riding modes: Street and Rain.

A great addition without any price hike!

I’m still curious why it isn’t offered with the Adv 390X/250. Does it require additional hardware/software that's only available on the Duke 390 and Adventure 390S?

It also has a Sport mode with launch control! Important detail that cannot be missed.

The pondering question for 390X buyers. How soon will we start to miss cruise control and traction control ? The IMU can be omitted

Yes, reading this just hurts. Hope adding cruise control to the 2024 model should be doable given most of the parts are the same.

OK. Adding it will increase the price, which KTM likely wants to avoid to maintain the price gap and distinction from the ADV S.

There’s little to no chance of it being offered in the near future, so prospective buyers don’t need to worry

This is the new color(Gun Metal Grey). Looks stunning!

Noob question. Is there a minimum speed/gear to activate cruise control?

You need to be doing at least 40 kmph. Not sure about the gear but I’m sure it should work even in the first or second gear onwards.
