KTM 390 Duke, KTM 390 Adventure Get New 350cc Variants in India; Check Price, Features and Specifications
KTM has launched the 350 Duke and 390 Adventure 350 in India, priced at INR 2,77,268 and INR 2,80,905 respectively. The motorcycles benefit from a lower 18% GST bracket due to their revised 350cc engine, which delivers 41.5 PS and 33.5 Nm. Both models retain premium features like WP suspension, TFT displays, and dual-channel ABS.
KTM has officially expanded its premium motorcycle portfolio in India with the launch of new 350cc variants for the 390 Duke and 390 Adventure. By adjusting the engine displacement to fall within the sub-350cc category, the Austrian manufacturer is leveraging a lower 18% GST slab to make its performance-oriented lineup significantly more accessible. These new models will be sold alongside the existing 399cc versions, which have now been rebranded with the ‘R’ suffix to denote their flagship status within the mid-capacity range.
The introduction of these variants follows a similar strategic move by Triumph, both of which operate in partnership with Bajaj Auto in India. The shift in displacement is a direct response to Indian taxation structures, allowing KTM to pass on substantial cost benefits to consumers. While the engine capacity has been slightly reduced, the brand maintains that the core performance DNA and technological suite that define the 390 platform remain intact for the new 350cc iterations.
