2024 KTM 390 Duke and 250 Duke Review | First Look

KTM has announced two small-displacement naked-bike models ? the 390 Duke and 250 Duke ? that brings what the company says is ?more punching power, improved handling, and clear differentiation of attitude between the displacements.?  

KTM added that the new models represent the biggest change to the sub-500cc capacity Duke model range since the first KTM 390 Duke. The result is a complete redesign with new engines, an all-new chassis concept, and new styling.

Both bikes feature an entirely new generation of single-cylinder engines dubbed the ?LC4c? ? including displacements of 250cc and 399cc ? that have been completely redesigned with newly optimized cylinder heads and gearboxes, as well as meeting the latest emissions standards. They also feature throttle-by-wire, a new Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC), and optional Quickshifter+.

The new LC4c engine in the 390 Duke represents a bump in displacement from the previous 373cc mill, but not only is it more powerful than the previous generation, it?s also lighter. The 250 Duke also features an improved power-to-weight ratio over the previous generation 200 Duke, with a new SOHC design that is lighter and simpler with fewer components.
