KTM 390 Duke 2020

KTM 390 Duke 2020

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.

Typical Duke ergonomics that are also suitable for taller riders

Extremely agile handling thanks to flyweight and narrow waist

Sporty engine with great handling

Modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity

Supermoto mode is a pleasure

Quickshifter (optional) works perfectly

Adjustable hand levers

Top price-performance ratio for A2 motorbike.

Chassis tuned a little too soft

pressure point of the brakes a little spongy

The somewhat hackneyed saying "Performance isn't everything!" hits the mark with the new Honda CB300R. The bike could be sold as the epitome of lightness, both in terms of weight and handling. The high build quality in combination with the successful styling will certainly help to overlook the less than complete equipment. Thus, the CB300R represents a real enrichment for the A2 segment!

Truly smooth handling

chassis offers stability AND comfort

top build quality

IMU-ABS & full LED lighting.

Front brake needs more hand force than expected

Poorly equipped than the competition
