In 2017 KTM’s formidable learner legal nakedbike, the 390 Duke is due for a massive upgrade, as the bike meets the new Euro4 emissions regulations, with KTM taking the opportunity to update many of the specifications.

Full information won’t be available until the world launch in April, however what information is available points towards the 390 Duke being restyled to more closely match the Super Duke R.

Other updates made to fulfil this goal included a new nose with LED headlight, a larger steel tank – now 13.4L with fuller knee contact, as well as a bolt-on rear sub-frame.

This joins the new ultralight trellis frame, as well as an extremely light die-cast aluminium swingarm, both of which are updated for 2017.

A TFT display has also been added, with the KTM My Ride an optional extra that includes hands-free function and an audio player, controllable via the switchblock menu switch.
