790 Duke brochure reveals its tech specs and features. It is expected to be launched in the coming few days in India…
Based on the recent spotting, highly awaited KTM 790 Duke has started reaching dealerships. In a latest we have received its brochure in our message box (by our reader named Rocky Balboaa). The brochure lists the technical details of this mid-sizer. With so much of hullabaloo around it, we now expect it to get launched within the coming few days.
As we understand, KTM will bring it as a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) model into India and hence prices will not be like its localised models. This mid-displacement streetfighter will come with tonnes of features and some of them highlighted in the brochure are MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control), customised track mode, slipper clutch for seamless and clutchless gearshifts, standard MSR to avoid locking up of rear wheel under high speed downshift and Supermoto mode for times when you want to enjoy those power slides!
