399cc
Launch Control
Track Mode
Compression and Rebound adjustability on the Front
Preload and Rebound adjustability on Rear suspension

TFT Screen offers turn by turn navigation now. This was only available on the ADV.
Looks great. Only thing I dont like about the KTMs is the sound. Its too thin.

Seat height is already lowered by 22mm. The Old one was 822mm and this is what the website says on the new one.

Next-gen KTM 390 Duke spotted testing in India-screenshot-20230822-2.47.55-pm.png

It has been brought up to 820 from 800 using the "Standard fitted KTM Powerparts seat spacer".

No word on Ground clearance yet but if that has been kept consistent with the old bike, there is a good 22mm margin created by this frame that the 390 ADV can work with. That should either give it 22mm more clearance or 22mm lower seat height or some other combination totalling up to 22mm.

New adventure is apparently being designed ground up with an all new frame and completely distinct tune of engine.

That's awesome, did not notice that. Hopefully they've extended the service intervals as well from the short 3 month duration.

Given the price point of speed 400 and the expected increase for the new Duke, seems like there's going to be a change of preference amongst the squids.

With expected launches of scrambler 400, new 390adv, RE 450 adv/roadster, new Husqvarnas, mt03/r3, the segment(in terms of price point) is really heating up with quality options.

Just received a call from the KTM Showroom. Ex Showroom price will be available tomorrow.

The *infamous word* squids get the 125s. Unfortunately, the 2024 Duke 125 looks almost exactly the same as the new 390. The Speed 400 is comfortably out of reach in terms of pricing w.r.t. the 125s.
