2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R launched in India, priced at ₹22.96 lakh
KTM has announced its foray into the premium motorcycle segment in India and has launched the 1390 Super Duke R EVO flagship streetfighter. The new KTM 1390 Super Duke R is priced at ₹22.96 lakh (ex-showroom) and brings a powerful twin-cylinder motor with the famed sharp styling that we’ve seen on the sub 400 cc KTM bikes so far. The 1390 Super Duke R was updated globally last year and brought a comprehensive design update along with mechanical upgrades.
KTM 1390 Super Duke R: Design
The 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R looks more in line with other offerings in the brand’s naked lineup, specifically the 990 Duke. The street-naked uses a vertically stacked LED headlamp with the new signature LED DRLs. The bike also gets a new fuel tank shrouds and winglets, and an overall razor-sharp styling. The subframe cover is smaller and gives the motorcycle a more compact look overall.

KTM 1390 Super Duke R Hardware
The KTM 1390 Super Duke R uses the same frame as the 1290 Super Duke R. The suspension has been revised with the new fully adjustable 48 mm WP front forks, while the rear sports a monoshock for high and low-speed compression damping. The more premium 1390 Super Duke R Evo variant gets a semi-active suspension that uses magnetic valves for variable damping and real-time adaptation.
There are five suspension modes - Auto, Comfort, Rain, Street, and Sport. Other features include the automatic preload adjustment to adapt to varying loads on the superbike, and an anti-dive function that stiffens the front-end under hard braking. The 1390 Super Duke R also comes with the ‘Factory Start’ feature that adjusts the rear preload and ride height to optimise the launch performance.
