    I am in doubt. I do not know why KTM Dealer said the tyres will be from MRF. I specifically asked about the tyres. I think it's guesswork.

    Its a facebook page and in no way an authority.

    KTM India website has long back confirmed all this, I don't know why everyone is speculating past few months

    Brakes :

    A state-of-the-art Bosch 9M ABS makes the pleasure of the impressive Duke dynamics even safer and adds the finishing touch to its peerless chassis qualities. The ABS on the KTM 390 Duke monitors the effect of the potent brake system with radially-bolted, four-piston calliper and 300 mm disc diameter - fun with no regrets, developed in close collaboration with the specialists from Bosch and Brembo. And for the stunt riders among us: the ABS can naturally be switched off.
    Tyres:

    Equally lightweight and delicate as they are stable, the 17 in cast light alloy wheels are fitted with grippy Metzeler tyres - 110 mm wide at the front and an impressive 150 mm at the rear. The tyres impress with tremendous grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability.

    Number of pistons are not related to ABS.And there is no NOn ABS version as per Pune Dealer.

    However in one sentence :

    nowhere will you find more motorcycle per euro.
    So, content is a copy paste from European site. so rubber may change ?

    That's even better to know.
    Probably my guy is taking me for a ride then.
    I would book it only after I test ride it though.
    Let's wait n watch.
    It's just around the corner then ;-)

    Bro, this bike will bridge the gap between the quad litres and the daytona, and untill we save our asses up for the 675R, lets paint the city orange.
    I haven't ever ridden a Daytona, but i'm sure that would be absolutely crazy. I currently have a 200 Duke, so what i mean is that i want to evaluate if a 390 it's a worthwhile upgrade. Otherwise it won't make any sense for me to lose money on selling D200 and then losing money again on selling a D390 (both of them less than a year old).
