KTM 350 Duke, 350 Adventure Launched - Price, Specifications, and Key Differences

KTM has introduced more affordable variants of its popular 390 range with the launch of the new 350 Duke and 350 Adventure in India.

These 350cc models are priced at Rs 2.77 lakh for the Duke and Rs 2.81 lakh for the Adventure (ex-showroom). This makes them around Rs 62,000 cheaper than their 399cc counterparts, thanks to the lower 18% GST slab for bikes under 350cc.

Both bikes use a 349cc single-cylinder engine that produces 41.5 bhp and 33.5 Nm of torque. While this is slightly down on power than the bigger 399cc motor producing 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm, the rest of the package stays almost identical.

Both models keep the same chassis, suspension setup, brakes, TFT display, and overall styling.

This means you get KTM's sharp looks and riding feel at a more accessible price, without a significant compromise on power.

The 350 Duke is built for street riding with a lower seat height and sporty handling. The 350 Adventure, on the other hand, offers taller seating, more ground clearance, and longer suspension travel for light off-road use and touring.

What Happens to the Previous KTM 390 Range?

KTM has decided to sell these 350cc variants alongside the existing 399cc bikes for those of you who want that extra bit of power. This is unlike its rival Triumph, which replaced its 398 cc engine with the new 349 cc unit on its bikes.

To avoid confusion, KTM's 399 cc models have been renamed. The 390 Duke is now the 390 Duke R, while the 390 Adventure models carry S and R suffixes.

The new bikes slot in perfectly between the 250 range and the more expensive 390 models.

However, it would be interesting to see if the 350 cc lineup starts eating into the sales of the 250 Duke and Adventure, which are priced at Rs 2.17 lakh and 2.46 lakh, respectively.
