KTM Begins Deliveries of Super 1390 Duke R in India, First Bike Delivered in Bengaluru

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R is here, and it's time for riders across India to feel the adrenaline coursing through their veins. The first delivery took place in Bengaluru, marking the beginning of a new chapter for KTM India. After a long time, the 1390 Super Duke R is finally available nationwide.

This marks KTM's return to the high-performance naked-bike space, after stepping away with the 790 Duke. The 1390 Super Duke R, alongside other new models like the 890 Duke R, 1290 Super Adventure R, and 890 Adventure R, expands the brand's offerings, providing something for every type of ride and rider.

For those looking for a bike that combines brute power with advanced technology, the 1390 Super Duke R delivers on all fronts. Powered by a 1350cc V-twin engine, it offers 190bhp—enough to leave most rivals in the dust. But raw power is nothing without control, and this bike is equipped with a suite of electronic features which includes traction control, wheelie control, and multiple ride modes to help riders safely leverage that power. Whether you're carving through the city or taking on more challenging roads, the KTM 1390 enables a responsive, exhilarating ride.

From a design standpoint, the bike stays true to KTM's aggressive styling. It exudes a fierce personality with sharp lines and a predatory headlight that makes a statement wherever it goes. The trellis frame paired with a fully adjustable USD fork and mono-shock suspension ensures a stable ride, no matter the conditions and terrain.

Regarding its price, the official asking price is Rs. 22.96 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Super Duke R is available for bookings nationwide.

For many, the question isn’t about whether the Super Duke R can turn heads, it’s whether it can handle the challenges of Indian roads and the unique demands of sports riding. Nonetheless, with its performance and design, KTM has once again set its rivals to dust behind. But only time will tell if this potent machine can become the go-to choice for Indian riders in the high-performance segment.
