100% ...We have whole lot of rich chhapris out there with their Hayabusas and ZX10r, S-1000 RR doing some really cringe stuff on public roads... but that doesn't define those motorcycles. KTM has built a really solid product 🔥
I Do agree With you 🙂🙂. I have Ktm Adventure 390 And I am in love with this Machine. Any one Who is thinking it's a chappri bike just go and take a Test Ride your perception will change.
The second gen was watered down in terms of performance. In every other area it was an upgrade. This third gen seems like a step up according to the reviews. I will need to test ride one if my local service centre decides to have a test ride unit.
In KTM Bikes series, Duke 390 is the first bike which is i like specifically the blue one ❤ just 💙. Gyes please don't care about any tag just go for it, it never disappoint you 👍.
Looks👌 Blue colour 👌 features 👌 Price 👌👌 Whole New KTM sets the benchmark for other 3 Brands Imagine those DRL's working as indicators 🙆 Surely will switch the tyres to Apollo Alpha H1 Although the number plate will totally disturb the front look🤦
This is the third video I am watching since morning of the new Duke 390. Very excited about it and very eager to test ride. Amazing video by Powerdrift. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Lovely video - as we do expect from PD team !! KTM Duke 390 is back to its original raw-ness and visceral connect with the rider which was lost in the recent years... Let's not worry too much about those vibrations at low RPM and all that - Duke is a Duke because it simply urges you to go faster and faster and revv higher and higher!! I had only a short spin on this one but whoaa!! This is what a Duke should be - Kudos to KTM for bringing this level of performance with this level of features and at that price!!!! Sure, the price has gone up a lot compared to original 390 - but then so have the features and safety - so it is still the greatest Performance + Features Versus Price combination in the Indian market - nothing comes close to this!!
I have the 2021 Duke 390. I love the torch and pick up on it. Does this new 2024 Duke still have great pick up because that's what I love about my Duke. Hi from Brisbane Australia.
With this new tech and engine, Bajaj should really update the Dominar, so that it can stop being an underrated option in this segment. But the new Duke is so damn good!
@@shanylkhan1557 Your special requirements of Adv model will take time for development till then have some patience or opt out for other choices in these category.

The banana swing arm and horizontal monoshock allows the bike to reduce seat height while increasing wheel travel and increasing ground clearance. The new 2025 Adventure is going to be much more comfortable than the current one.
Bro as you mentioned we can adjust seat height to 820mm by extra accessories (seat spacer) most of the channels mentioned that and still I can’t find that. Dealers told its only available for international varients. Did i got any chance to get that?
Like the enthusiasm you guys put in the video. But honestly speaking, you need to tone down the filters used in post production. It's heavily used, and really loses to give us an experience how the motorcycles would actually look. Also, you can use a better wider lens for these shoots. More close-up shots rather than shots taken from a distance and zoomed-in. It's not a cinema, it's a review of a vehicle.
Like Karan mentioned, the ambient temperature wasn't too bad in Pune so that remains to be tested but the new cooling system should take care of the heat just fine.
Liked how karan said that he can't objectively justify the 80k over speed 400! They should've provided the gen 2 liquid metal like paint scheme on this design! Orange is just tooo polarizing! Also why do all the reviewers have the orange one only? No one reviewed the Atlantic blue one?
My local area is still flooded with 2023 models. Some are listed online for $4250. Despite this sounding slightly better in every way. $2k extra before taxes and fees less is probably not worth it for me.
I am planing to buy as first bike but I am worrying about only one thing. Is it too small for me as 1.95 sm tall guy with normal weight of 83 kgs? Please someone share experiance!
bro i need an opinion.. I own a Interceptor 650.. I love it.. Lots of touring and Highway runs.. But i also owned a r15 v3 which i sold 6 months back.. And now i miss it soo much now.. I have booked a duke 390 and willing to purchase it.. I want to try the orange hooligan.. But the doubt is will i enjoy it over int650?
With Wider seats (though signature hard), better ground clearance and bigger fuel tank theyve set the stage for the Duke 390 GT. The console does show cruise control in The Quick Selector. Hopefully its going to be a software unlock. The GT would be a perfect sports tourer for people who don't want an Adv but still want a faired KTM with better wind protection.
I feel powerdrift's production quality is dropping day by day, I love you guys so much but it's sad to see low quality, you guys were all about high-quality edits, cinematography, and sound design and this was your most unique part. The way you presented the machine earlier was like they are alive, there's so much drama. Like in the first frame, the old duke was not even washed, these little things you guys used to take care of earlier and the Thumbnail, it's like some random small TH-camr's Thumbnail. Also no 4k or at least 1440p. I really want you guys on top of the game. Take it as criticism and not hate.
I'm considering buying duke 250 or 390, but confused! Mostly city riding and weekend highways. Any suggestions are appreciated. also what will be the mileage of 390?
What a great looking bike. The video direction was awesome. As I havev been saying this is the bike of the year. So confused between Upcoming R3 v/s this Tech Laden 'Super'Duke 390. Just for the love of twin cylinder my decision may sway
@@vroombk I'm sure it'll be worth it! Even if it's around 4.5-5.5, I'm game! The already existing twins from Honda and Benelli cost the same or more! If people get an option, why wouldn't they? Also the fact that KTM would do way better than them.
Like VP mentioned, a lot of it had to do with cost. KTM in India was known for accessible performance. Sadly, everything got expensive over time and so did the orange side of the garage. Look at the sales numbers. The higher you price a product, the lower the numbers. Its just how things work.
The KTM 390 duke was a machine that changed motorcycle culture in India for good. Its one of those bikes that shown us what a high performance bike feels like. When it was first launched, it looked unique compared to any other bikes, the design was to modern for its time. Then engine performance blown rider's mind, it was Savagely fas. 390 Duke also offered high level equipments and features. All of this at an mind blowing price. This new 3rd gen does exactly same thing, it looks good, has good performance and great level of features and equipments. Yes the duke has gone up in price but for the price it offers more that makes it a value for money just like it done back in 2013. Now the TVS Apache RTR310 has some serious competition.
For people considering the new Duke 390, a short note: Don't care about the Chapri image which KTMs have.. Go with what you really love ❤
We absolutely agree with this comment.
100% ...We have whole lot of rich chhapris out there with their Hayabusas and ZX10r, S-1000 RR doing some really cringe stuff on public roads... but that doesn't define those motorcycles.

Nothing can beat the og Duke 390 2013 review by powerdrift only in this channel, that's still the best video ever ❤
We love that video too. One of our best creations :)
Honestly that Video made me Buy the Duke 390 in 2015. Every time I see it I feel like 18 again. 💯💯
This comment is the absolute truth! That 2013 video is still fresh in my mind. ❤
@@sanseevpushpakanthan846et,,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whether its a track , off-roading , touring 390 duke does it all...
Not sure of touring. The rear set footpegs can be a hindrance.
Only One Word "BEAST" 🔥
That Muhammad Ali quote…🔥
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee…
Oh yeah!
KTM and Varun are like long live brotherhood……Legends has it that no KTM review can ever be complete without Varun’s .
The legend is true
The new Duke looks so good but I'm excited for the new 390 Enduro and ADV to launch soon
That will happen next year.
Keep up the good work
And please keep it in english ❤️
Love from the Philippines 🎉
acceleration of this bike is out of this world what a machine ktm going crazy in indian market
What a review ❤❤ love it guys
Cheers!
That side fairing sticks out like a cheap aftermarket mod.
Not everyone's cup of tea
It looks good might look more gelled in and cohesive in black colour
That's a hell of a motorcycle ❤
💯
Oh absolutely.
Honestly I am loving it. It looks like a mini Super Duke.
Right on!
Excellent Narrations by both Dudes 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@powerdriftofficial I always enjoy your vlogs and really appreciate your verdicts.
So, we are going back to underbelly exhaust?
Done and dusted.
So much fun to watch that slap @ 8.48
No enough money in pocket but still watching , thinking and dreaming about duke 390 lol 😂
One day, some day.
Love to see Varun sir in the video 😂❤
All of us do :D
Is there will be problem with offset rear suspension over center suspension
Nope. What makes you think that?
Stability failure unbalancing etc????
This is one of the few bikes which have not been watered down in subsequent versions.
Infact it got madder as time went by.
The second gen was watered down in terms of performance. In every other area it was an upgrade. This third gen seems like a step up according to the reviews. I will need to test ride one if my local service centre decides to have a test ride unit.

How does the new duke 390 compares to rtr 310 in terms of refinement/vibration?
The 390 though vibey is less vibey at higher RPMs. The RTR feels better at low revs

Do u expect a few updates in duke to translate into the dominar...?? Due to the collab...🤔
That's a really good question. we don't have info yet but we need to confirm this with the brand

That should happen too yes.
Will there be an adventure version of this in the pipeline in the coming months ?
Already launched few months earlier available in showrooms for delivery Have a visit.
@@sunnyyadav-yx7ry aren't those with the 373 CC engines and old Frame ?
Yes. KTM is already testing the new ADVs
@@shanylkhan1557 Your special requirements of Adv model will take time for development till then have some patience or opt out for other choices in these category.
Will get it when a subtle colour scheme is released.
KTM has always been a little wild with their color schemes no? A plain black will be fiyaah!
@@powerdriftofficial The grey colours with black alloys on the 250 will suffice.
Would a 5'5 person be able to ride this motorcycle while flat footing it ?
Test it out once the motorcycles get to the showrooms.
It should have twin cylinder, It would have been no competition
We agree but cost is a big factor here.
The editor placed the orange bike instead of Atlantic blue 😂 although good review🎉 3:03
We had both the motorcycles for our shoot.
Another great video by Powerdrift.
More to come!
Excited for this one 🤩
:D
Varun fan button like❤

Are those Dominar mirrors?
Should i get this, or cb300r or speed 400 or mt03 or himalyan 450 ?? Or wait for more bikes to come

How is the engine temp!! Does it have heating issue like old 390!?

Thank you :)
The banana swing arm and horizontal monoshock allows the bike to reduce seat height while increasing wheel travel and increasing ground clearance. The new 2025 Adventure is going to be much more comfortable than the current one.
Oh for sure. Expect a lot of changes
That shock hanging on the side is ugly. It's like the Ninja 650r.
This video was exciting! The music choice, the editing! Both Karan and Varun did a great job. Im sold on the Duke.
Glad you enjoyed the video Dhruv.
Bro as you mentioned we can adjust seat height to 820mm by extra accessories (seat spacer) most of the channels mentioned that and still I can’t find that. Dealers told its only available for international varients. Did i got any chance to get that?
Which one has more views in motovlogging? R15m or duke 390 2023?
Killing it PD team ❤

What will it take for PD to switch to 4K uploads?
Our reviews will be 4K for sure. The first ride video has us fighting against time. Full HD for now but 4K is also in the works.
Superb presentation as usual. How is the heat management Varun
Like Karan mentioned, the ambient temperature wasn't too bad in Pune so that remains to be tested but the new cooling system should take care of the heat just fine.

Its true no? Two different motorcycles but accessibility wise, the Speed holds a much better proposition.

What was the 15L mileage? During the test?
This was a first ride. Mileage test will happen later.
I was really disappointed, that the most hyped launch and no Varun, until he shows up

Always around is VP!
Love all the dukes
Noicee!
Mirrors are from dominar.. they are top notch ❤
Fantastic review just let us know whether low end torque issue is sorted completely or not? And what about refinement in comparison to Triumph x400
Like Karan said, its sorted to quite an extent.
I WANT ONE!! but would probably buy the triumph speed 400 as its most suitable for my needs
Yes! Go for it.
I wish they give the same tft layout like this to the present gen rc 390 by some software update
Guess that's next
As you are replying to almost every comment curious on which one among the rtr310 and duke 390 is a complete package and better one
They are at two different price points. But the 390 has a different feeling. Completely different. We suggest test rides will help.
PD.? Any words on cruise control 👀
