About the motorcycle

Ergonomics

When compared with its predecessor, 2017 KTM 390 Duke’s ergonomics have changed considerably. There is a bigger saddle room for the rider to sit more comfortably. That may translate to more relaxed long distance cruising. Additionally, the seat is extendable towards the tank which creates a larger surface area. The seating height sits at 830 mm. But, the cruising experience can be further improved with the help of LLUVIA handlebar raisers designed for KTM Duke 2017.
The bike features rear set foot pegs that might result in a more forward-biased riding position. Furthermore, the tank shape might aid in a more comfortable sitting position with knees locked on the tank panels. The 2017 version of KTM 390 Duke also features a split trellis frame. The front is colored in typical KTM orange and the rear is white. The bike has been given a new side exhaust that was meant to be in compliance with the latest emission regulations.

Features & Equipment

Some of them are – a handlebar mounted control switch, TFT display, and a larger 320mm front disk brakes; to name a few. The company even created a brand new ‘My Ride’ app which connects to android devices. As part of the new technical additions, KTM Duke 2017 features an EMS (Engine Management System) from Bosch and a slipper clutch.

The intelligently designed ergonomics come handy in enhancing the quality of ride. Compared to the sound coming from the company’s previous bikes, the engine note sounds muted in bike’s underbelly exhaust.
The ride-by-wire system allows the rider to dial in accurate throttle inputs. KTM 2017 Duke can easily offer a cruising capacity of 120-130 kmph throughout the day. Occasionally, the riders may have to deal with wind blast coming at higher speeds. One quick fix to that problem is to mount a screen.
