In our tests, we achieved a mileage of 29.4kpl in the city and 31.4kpl on the highway with the KTM 390 Duke. That said, spirited riding will see these figures drop.

The KTM 390 Duke has a seat height of 800mm, which is relatively accessible for the segment. The seat height is lower than before, but despite this, you won’t feel cramped in the leg region if you are tall. Alternatively, you can also raise this to 820mm by purchasing an optional taller seat from the KTM accessory catalogue.
