Off-road ABS, switchable traction control, and standard up/down quickshifter offered

The KTM 390 Duke also comes with switchable lean angle sensitive traction control, and a standard up/down quickshifter. We have had a brief ride of the KTM 390 Adventure here in India, and our initial impressions are positive, about the bike's adventure and off-road capability. It offers a superb value proposition as a lightweight adventure bike, and the tubeless tyres on the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination offer the added convenience of repairing punctures easily, on the go.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
