The Indian performance bike segment has just become more exciting as KTM has introduced new 350cc versions of its popular streetfighter and ADV motorcycles. With the launch of the 350cc KTM 390 Duke, 390 Adventure, the brand aims to offer a more affordable entry point while retaining the core DNA of its high-performance lineup.
These new models will co-exist with the existing 399cc variants, giving buyers more flexibility in choosing between price and performance.
The newly launched bikes are positioned strategically to attract a wider audience:
These prices make them approximately ₹62,000 cheaper than their more powerful 399cc counterparts.
The biggest change comes in the form of a downsized engine:
Compared to the 399cc engine, this means:
While the numbers are slightly lower, the performance is still strong enough for both city riding and highway cruising, making these bikes a practical choice for a wider range of riders.
Despite the smaller engine, KTM has ensured that the bikes remain feature-rich:
This means buyers won’t feel like they are opting for a “lower” version in terms of design or tech.
KTM is not discontinuing the existing models. Instead, it has rebranded them:
These will continue to cater to enthusiasts who want maximum performance.
The introduction of these 350cc models creates an interesting pricing overlap:
With a relatively small price jump, buyers may now prefer the 350cc models for better performance, potentially impacting the sales of the 250cc lineup.
This launch raises an important question:
Is the extra ₹60,000+ worth it for just 4–5 hp more?
