- 2017 KTM Duke 390 Review | 300 KM Road Test | RWR
Intro shot using Zhiyun Smooth Q: amzn.to/2pHUS5Q
Hey this Rahul and how is it going everyone, over the last weekend I covered over 300 km on the 2017 KTM Duke 390, we rode it in city, highway and also did some cornering tests pushing the bike as much as I could, when it comes to the KTM Duke 390, I speak with experience.
I know it's making that same 43.5 BHP of power with an increased torque of 37 NM @7000 RPM, which is just a shade higher than the 35 Nm of the previous version. But all that fairing, and body work along with the new Euro 4 compliant side slung exhaust has made the motorcycle gain 10 extra kg of weight and that should affect the performance.
But that is just theoretical. In reality, the motorcycle doesn't feel any less powerful, in fact because of the new throttle by wire with very little throttle angle, the bike delivers a power which is instantaneous and feels to have a stronger punch in the low and midrange over the previous version.
I also feel they have changed the engine mapping to give the motorcycle a bit more grunt in lower revs and the engine seems to have a different power delivery than the RC390 which I also tested earlier. The power on the RC came on smoother but the Duke 390 still gives that Hooligan feel in the first gear acceleration but they have managed to tame the initial jerk a bit. Simply put, this is more fun.
KTM Duke 390 mileage- 22-25 km/l
KTM Duke 390 Top Speed- 167 kmph
KTM Duke 390 Sound has changed due to the side slung exhaust.

Ride With Rahul should I buy a Dominar or KTM Duke 200 for college purpose
Hey there Rahul ...I am really confused between 390 and dominar ...it's not like I travel every now and then but I do make a long trip once in a year...which bike would you recommend!? Is Ktm manageable for touring?
In my opinion ktm should provide same tft console on 2017 rc 390 !
Due to the current design, this will look odd on the RC.
Great video bro.
Planning to buy one.
After your review can't find any significant rivals at this price point.
Thanks.
As usual always stands out from other bike reviews ...good work and nicely edited .. covered all the points what customers wanted to know.
Great Job buddy..!!
Though I have already booked the new duke 390, I never had a chance to put myself on the wheels, and I was a bit sceptical coz of that. Your detailed review for the same made it quite easy to clear my doubts..
THANX A TON..!! PROUD TO SEE PPL FROM MY CITY DOING GREAT REVIEWS..!!
Great review Rahul, can't wait to get a go on one of these puppies myself! PS We need to see more of your girlfriend ;0)
TheMissendenFlyer lol, I can't wait to ride that big monster you rode, but they don't even sell here, if money was not an issue, I would already be on that flight to UK.
Everyone wants more girl action, even the haters do, but they don't admit it.
TheMissendenFlyer 😂😂
I personally want the adventure s to come to India tbh

Great review Rahul. Liked all ou Videos,, I loved the Vdo Editing. don't let the haters bring you down. and keep up the great work.
Suggest me to decide if i should go for D400 or Duke 390.. Me as a rider i do travel a lot,be it be a city ride and long distances, nd found D400 more of a travel purpose bike and the 1 u reviewed is always throttle thirsty. presently am owning Ns200 n Avenger to meet both deal on roads... (NS on city n the later for cruising long miles).. willing to upgrade n go for 1 rather keeping 2 to meet both my riding passions burn..
+PulsarManiac_AB overall I personally felt the Duke to be the real all-rounder.
Great Video again Rahul....
Thanks
Just awsome Rahul Da... Darun cinematography...
Do check my channel also 😊
Do give your valuable feedback 😊

After many years bro! How are you?
@@RideWithRahulOfficial hello Rahul, m good, thanks! Still harbouring the Orange dream. Keep up the good work!
Good, helpful, detailed review...
Rahul, have you come across or seen or sat on any seats that can be purchased to replace the seat on these Dukes? Just bought my 2019 Duke 390 and the seat is hard as a rock on Chamundi Hill!
Hey bro which 1 i need to buy in 2017 rc or duke???
Very well made and perfectly executed review.It will surely help the old Duke 390 owners to know how the new monster is and also for people who are looking to upgrade from a 150 or 200cc bike.
That was the idea, the ultimate guide.
Hi is heating more in duke 390 than 250.can I use in city commute.
How to edit videos like this plzz anyone tell me
bro.. is it any problem to modify bike with adding new lights, illuminations,extra fittings etc.. is it affect the battery in future?.kindly upload a review of illumination of motor cycle.
awesome bro simply outstanding review. when everyone else is doing reviews like they were endorsing the brand KTM your review is for us indians- Jaihind. Best wishes for ur channel bro.
+kratos fury thanks, I make these videos on my own and try as honest as I can, I recently went to Ladakh and made a short film there, you can check it out here... ua-cam.com/video/qmN2WwnPySQ/v-deo.html

This is the perfect review which the new KTM duke390 deserves.
U covered every bit of it...I salute u for your hard work👌👏👏 ...Ride safe ✌
lancy monice Do check my channel also 😊
Do give your valuable feedback 😊
RB Reviews sure bro...👍
Engaging vlog #great verdict and #edit !
is new Duke 390 is still have any heating issues plz reply I go to buy so plz tell
shots fired! you should have mentioned HMSI and sent them this video. They are content with activa sales by the looks of it, but I can't complain about the engine again,a ktm 390 owner was praising my bike saying it doesn't feel like 32000km run bike and he owns a service center, I took his 390 and had a blast in the meanwhile :p
when I said that I didn't have any particular brand in mind, in India most brands are following that same strategy.
Ride With Rahul yes but I am saying honda should make it known to them, not everyone are happy with their quarter litre line up, 250rr,300r,500r all these are not hitting the market. Yamaha have the r3 but with 0 marketing, suzuki don't have a bike as they just rentered the market,honda has had the 250r for 6 years without even a legit update. I left out hero as you can't expect anything other than new splendor models lol
is it better or at least as good as r3 in terms of performance, reliability ??
Nice review. 👌🏽
Thanks! and do enter my giveaways.
Does the new duke 390 also face heating issues?
Should I buy a KTM duke 390 or 250 for daily use?
Yep your riding position with the new Duke looks comfy.
which is best 2017 rc 390 vs duke 390 pls compare rahul
nice review brother, it was worth the wait ! 😊
Many thanks! Do enter my giveaways on Instagram and Facebook.
Ride With Rahul your RC390 review was put together better, in my view. not in any way saying this bad or something.
This one I lost the live audio, did a redub and edited back again in post production, lost the flow in which I wanted to work. But I think the problem was that in the middle the part where I was doing first person view, that place could have some other angles and insert shots, where I took a little shortcut to make the video release faster.
Is it UV resistant
Good review !
Thanks!
Fantastic intro,it would have been more impactful if you had chosen the night set up but yeah I know shooting at night is a hassle because a lot of attention has to be paid to the lighting and the iso settings :-)
+Swapy Bond - The Biker and added to that due to low visibility, I cant go as fast as daytime. Thanks for watching!
great video two thumbs up
My question is this, would you trade in ur old gen duke for this one?
+M.R Raghav if someone doesn't want to upgrade to a bigger bike then they can. I am all for it.
Hi Rahul hope you are doing good........ I am planning to buy new duke 390 at the same time my friends are suggesting me to wait for the 2019 edition. Could you advise me on this ?!?!
Don't think the Duke 390 will get any major upgrades next year, you can safely get this year's version.
How long is the break in period? can I rev high and do top speed during the break in period? Till now I did 60km riding slowly. Can I ride like a hooligan during this period or it will harm my engine?
It's not 60 kmph, it's under 7000 RPM.
you mean I can ride like a hooligan but stay under 7000 rpm?
which bike looks is better ...rc390 or Duke 390 ?
definitely it was a SMILE on my face !!!! gave off RC 390 and purchased the all new BABY BEAST
+mithun lal good decision
Which i buy ktm duke 390 or dominar 400
Nice video. I like it. Now I’m more motivated for buy this amazing bike.
+Angel Resendiz thanks for watching, do subscribe for my next videos and check out my motorcycle short film, I released it yesterday.
Ride With Rahul I will check! Thank you.

Great review though.... Well should i go for a 2nd hand duke 390 2017 model.? Will it last for long run are these Machines reliable and long lasting if maintained properly... Please help... I'll only use it thrice a week maybe...
Haven't had any major issues with the Duke 390, several of my friends own it
your reviews are very helpful... God bless you.. খুব ভালো....
+Argh Dhar many thanks!
I saw your Dominar review and this one too. Which bike would be better suited to touring and why?
+Leslie Pinto currently this edges out the Dominar slightly, first of all this is lighter and handles better, with the chassis giving better stability along with the better tyres.
The TFT console, I see that as a bonus while touring as you don't have worry about missing important calls from family (small advantage but I like it)
In touring on mountain or Twisties this will have better advantage as the bike feels more powerful.
The only thing is the Dominar gives you a power cruiser like feel, whereas this is a well designed naked bike with extreme power delivery.
Some people like the extra power and the hurried nature of the bike.
Others prefer the calmer nature of the Dominar.
The TFT display with Bluetooth is redundant with most of us using Bluetooth headsets. But posture wise, seat comfort, vibrations, fatigue etc which bike would be better for say 6 to 8 hours in the saddle? Yes the power delivery of the 390 is a given.
+Leslie Pinto it's not redudant, it's made for people who are using Bluetooth headsets, as modern phones can pair 5 devices at once. You can see who is calling you, then accept or reject the call, I think it's a really great feature and I myself spent more than 8 hours on the saddle with a 2 hour lunch break in the middle and I was really comfortable and a lot more than my bike the previous Duke.
You need fuel to survive a tour as well as money. Buy a dominar and forget the poor 25kmpl milaege , get 32-35 kmpl and enjoy
is it comfy for long rides ?
d250 or d390 ? which 1 to buy?
Bro video is useful and I liked it. But don't you think it's bit long?Think about it. But video is worth watching😉
Wow what a video Rahul... amazing man you’ve explained is everything we need to know thank you so much mate...
+Sathwik Ramesh bro, where are you from?
Ride With Rahul Bangalore man
+Sathwik Ramesh thanks for the support man, here it's so hard to get bikes for Review, not like Bangalore, I could really shine there.
Ride With Rahul Where are you from Rahul!?
+Sathwik Ramesh Kolkata
Should I get the 250 or the 390!
I would use my bike to go to the college(it would be almost 25kms + heavy traffic) everyday and long rides(100km+) maybe twice a month!
What would be the better option?
Duke 250 is better in heavy traffic and also the mileage will be a little bit better. Wish it had ABS though, compromise on safety is always what I don't recommend.
Ride With Rahul Will be going for 250!
Thanks man!
in love with your pronunciation rahul👌👌👌
+Karthick M thanks!
hatsoff dude..
man!!.... osum
does this bike have different Riding modes???
Hey Rahul I’m 6foot 3 and a little buff should I go for the duke 390 ?? Will it suit me ? Want your opinion on this 🙏🏻
Lots of tall people ride KTM in Europe as you know it sells a lot of units there. I think the new Duke 390 is suitable for taller riders but you should take a test drive before buying.
how about a newbie buying this one ? well aware of the power and the thrust it could give ! what do u suggest abt it
+Abhinav T not impossible, but you will have to very careful. If you are an absolute beginner maybe not a good idea, but if you have learnt how to ride just want to buy this as our first bike, then go ahead.
Ride With Rahul thanks mate !
Which one is good for fun ( gf )? Rc or duke
i buying ktm 2017 duke 390 soon but head light and engine heating issue problem solve solutions please anyone tell me
which one attract more in public RC 390 2017 or Duke 390 2017
Hey rahul can u please make the review of new 2k18 KTM duke 390 white colour varient
Selling n650 due to heavy wt and less manuverability, planning fr a lighter one , more flickable ... gud review. Thx.
How is the highspeed stability ? I mean at 140-160 km/hr ? I ask this question as the wheelbase got reduced.
Its better than the previous version as the front end much heavier now.
Hey your videos have been very helpful for me.. but I'm stuck up in a decision where I'm planning to buy a new bike... I have rc 390 and duke 390 on my mind.. I travel daily for 40kms and do some 100-200 kms long drive once a month.. which bike would be suitable for my usage ?
I would recommend the Duke 390 as the more relaxed riding position will definitely help you feel less tired.
Thank you 😃
Rahul bro is that 2017 duke 390's riding seat height higher then old RC 200?
I have rc 200 thinking to buy duke 390 but confused about height. No showroom near me so I can't get the test myself.
+iAMbhaskar it's 822 mm, I forgot what the RC seat height was.
