            Great Budget Bike with Ultra Performance
            It is a great budget bike for youngsters who like to ride fast. Because of its ABS it is completely safe. The onroad support from KTM will be really helpful. The mileage is around 30kmpl and the performance is really good. The pickup is good, that it reaches 100kmph speed in less than 15 seconds. It is very comfortable as well, I have never faced any discomfort while riding even for a long time. I would definitely recommend this bike for youngsters who are planning to buy a budget bike.

            My honest review
            I own this bike for last 6 months and I personally obtained a awesome ride experience and comfort on this duke 250 gen 3 edition. Mileage and maintenance cost are acceptable. I feel tha raw power on this motor cycle and the brakes gives more confidence to achieve the top end. I don't even feel any kind of wobbling issues at the low end and also in top end. The bike gives the butter smooth ride experience..

            KTM Duke 250
            Overall the performance of the KTM duke 250 is quite awesome and also comes with pretty loaded features the mileage will be quite low 28-30kmpl.The sudden pickup and all others compared to bs 4 here it is quite less but gives a good handy bike in the segment of 3 Lakhs worth the money, the ktm service is too good and supportive and quick.

            Excellent bike
            The KTM RC 390 is a standout in the entry-level sportbike segment, offering a perfect blend of performance, style, and technology. Powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine, it delivers an exhilarating 43.5 horsepower, making it ideal for both city rides and spirited highway runs. The bike’s lightweight trellis frame ensures sharp handling, while its WP Apex suspension and dual-channel ABS provide confidence-inspiring stability and braking. The aggressive design, complemented by full-LED lighting and a TFT display, enhances its appeal. Though the firm seat may feel uncomfortable for long rides, the RC 390 remains a top choice for thrill-seekers and enthusiasts.
