The issue of the headlight automatically turning off reported by users has been resolved through the software update to the infotainment screen. To counter the heat emission problem (too much heat on the legs of the riders from the engine), the company has included a heat deflector plate fixed on the trellis frame of the bike. The plate will deflect the heat from rider’s legs, making it more comfortable as compared to the earlier version.

The engine of the Duke 390 remains the same as compared to the 2017 version of the bike. The motorcycle is powered by a 373.2 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 42.9 bhp of power and 37 Nm torque. It comes with a 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disk brakes equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS). Other features of the bike includes upside-down fork, slipper-clutch, 13.4 litre fuel tank and an LED headlight. The Duke 390 was awarded the best bike of the year in 2017.
