    The tail lamp section has also received a makeover and the new unit looks edgier than the current one. The current KTM 390 Duke comes powered by a 373cc, single-cylinder engine that has been mated to a six-speed transmission. The fuel-injected motor churns out a maximum power of 44bhp at 9,500rpm with a peak torque of 35Nm at 7,250rpm. Built on a tubular double cradle frame, the bike has been equipped with inverted forks at the front along with monoshock at the rear. The bike rides on Metzeler rubber to offer a good on-road grip and stability. Other features include a dual-channel ABS, fully digital instrument console and a futuristic body styling. 2017 KTM 390 Duke is expected to be launched by next year, with an expected unveil in late 2016. With KTM has already updated its lineup a few days ago, there isn’t a healthy possibility that the new bike could make its entry anytime soon.
