The brand‑new KTM 390 Duke R has entered the Udupi market as of June 2026, with an on‑road price of ₹2.93 lakh (₹2,30,000 base plus GST, registration, insurance and other charges). The quoted cost positions the bike within the premium‑mid‑range segment of India’s highly competitive sportbike segment.
The model features KTM’s signature 373 cc single‑engine, 45 hp output, dual-channel ABS, cruise‑control, and LED lighting, aimed at riders seeking track‑ready performance in a street‑legal package. It carries a 12‑month free maintenance and an ECU‑tunable option that further boosts its appeal among youth and experienced riders in the region.
For Udupi consumers, the 390 Duke R provides a strong alternative to the Yamaha R15 V4 and Hero Xtreme V4, offering higher displacement and a more aggressive styling. Local dealerships report that the price is competitive yet premium, promising a steady stream of test‐ride inquiries and reservations. Source: Google News – Udupi.
