Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Enduro R 2025
The KTM 390 Enduro Bike R is exactly what many have been missing for a lengthy period of time: a true dual-sport machine that does not take refuge in extremes. It is neither an uncompromising hard enduro nor a stud-trimmed naked bike, but a versatile tool for everyday use, travelling and off-road. Easy to handle, agile enough for country roads, comfortable enough for longer distances and equipped with a suspension that also makes ambitious off-road riding possible. It does have minor weaknesses such as its noticeable weight, slight vibrations or a snappy rear brake - but these are relativised by the attractive price. Anyone who values versatility more than technical perfection in a single area will find the 390 Enduro R a well thought-out, modern and very balanced A2 bike.
KTM 390 Duke 2018
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.
