KTM 690 Duke 2019

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

The KTM 390 Duke is a bike that can polarise. Its strengths lie in its extensive electronic equipment, agile handling and ability to serve as a fun bike for young riders. However, the firm riding position and inconsistent engine tuning could be annoying for experienced riders. Yet the KTM 390 Duke offers plenty of riding pleasure, especially in urban environments and on sporty rides.
