Ludhiana, July 16, 2013: Bajaj Auto Ltd, today announced the launch of the highly anticipated, KTM 390 Duke in Ludhiana. The bike was today launched at an event held at KTM’s exclusive dealership, Dada Motors in Ludhiana. KTM 390 Duke is the second KTM offering in the Indian market from the Bajaj-KTM partnership.
The 390 Duke combines 43.5 Ps of serious power, 35 Nm of unmatched torque, agile handling, and a host of premium features like ABS, Metzeler tyres, aluminum swing arm, aluminum alloy wheels and many more making it a powerful bike ideal for both racing as also city and highway rides. At 373.2cc the 390 Duke would also be the first midsize sports bike in the country. It will be sold and serviced exclusively through 71exclusive KTM Showrooms & Service centres, the country’s largest network exclusive for premium motorcycles.
As with all KTM’s the 390 Duke would boast of an impressive power/weight ratio of 300 Ps/tone unmatched by motorcycles from segments higher or lower than the 390 Duke. Such power-weight ratio would give the bike impressive pick-up, top speed and maneuverability. Styled on the lines of the bigger KTM Dukes the 390 Duke also comes with a radical and sharp design– a true blue KTM.
On the occasion of the launch Amit Nandi, Vice President Bajaj Probiking said, “With its powerful engine, light weight and easy handling the 390 Duke will be equally rewarding both for the professional rider as well as the enthusiast. KTM is a sharply differentiated brand which in a short span of time is the largest selling premium motorcycle brand in India. This position would be further strengthened with the launch of the 390 Duke.”
The KTM 390 Duke has been launched at an introductory price of Rs.1,82,915 lacs- ex Showroom Ludhiana.
