KTM provided plenty of news earlier in the year with new machines like the 890 Duke R and the 390 Adventure, so some attention is due to models like the 390 Duke. This particular machine has earned acclaim for its approachability as well as its capabilities in the hands of more experienced riders. It’s a great machine for new riders learning the ropes, but can also be tapped out to its max for memorable rides in the canyons for those with a few more miles under their belts. A more agile machine with better suspension, possibly better brakes and engine performance will further solidify its place among the vanguard of today’s low-displacement machines.
