KTM Introduces New 350cc Duke and Adventure Models with Lower Price

KTM India has introduced new 350cc versions of its popular Duke and Adventure motorcycles in India. The brand aims to make these bikes more affordable for a wider audience. This move comes as bikes under 350cc attract lower GST, which reduces the overall price. As a result, buyers now get similar styling and features at a lower cost. In addition, KTM continues to offer the more powerful 399cc versions alongside these new models.

KTM 390 Duke Gets Smaller Engine but Keeps Its Sharp Character

The new 350cc version of the KTM 390 Duke is priced at Rs. 2.77 lakh. This makes it much more affordable than the 399cc ‘R’ version. The difference stands at around Rs. 62,000, which is quite significant.

KTM has reduced the engine capacity by shortening the stroke length. However, the bore size remains unchanged, which helps maintain performance balance. The engine now produces 40.9bhp and 33.5 Nm torque.

In comparison, the 399cc version delivers higher figures. However, many riders may not notice this gap during daily use. In addition, the slightly lower output may improve fuel efficiency.

Interestingly, the bike’s weight remains almost the same. The new version is just 0.3kg lighter, which is hardly noticeable. However, KTM has lowered the seat height to 800mm. This change makes the bike more accessible for shorter riders.

The design and styling remain unchanged, which keeps the aggressive streetfighter look intact. However, KTM has introduced new colour finishes for a fresh appeal.

Moreover, the feature list stays strong with a TFT display and Bluetooth connectivity. It also gets WP suspension and dual-channel ABS, ensuring a premium riding experience.

KTM 390 Adventure Offers Better Value with the New 350cc Setup

KTM has also launched a 350cc version of the KTM 390 Adventure at Rs. 2.80 lakh. This pricing makes it much more accessible than the 399cc model. The higher-spec version starts at Rs. 3.43 lakh, creating a large price gap.

The new engine in the Adventure produces 40.43bhp and 33.5 Nm torque. In addition, the smaller engine could deliver slightly better fuel efficiency.

KTM has kept the rest of the motorcycle unchanged. It continues to use the same suspension, wheelbase, and ground clearance. This ensures that its off-road ability remains intact.

Moreover, the bike still features a TFT display and LED lighting. These features help maintain a modern and premium feel.

Perhaps the biggest highlight is its pricing against the 250 Adventure. It costs only about Rs. 35,000 more, which makes it a better choice for many buyers.
