KTM 990 Duke Revealed at EICMA 2023 | Here’s What We Know So Far!

Published at November 12, 2023 by BikeJunction

KTM has added a new member to its popular Duke lineup: the 990 Duke. This new model was displayed at EICMA 2023. This street-naked motorcycle is the epitome of KTM's motorsport-oriented models, and it's sure to get your heart racing. Based on the test mules that have been spotted, it looks like KTM is also developing a fully-fired RC 990 based on the same platform!
 

KTM 990 Duke: Specs 

The 2024 KTM 990 Duke will have a new 947 cc parallel-twin engine, based on the 889 cc engine from the 890 Duke R. The extra displacement doesn't give the 990 Duke a lot more power & torque. However, it may make the bike feel faster in real-world riding, especially when accelerating in gear.
 

The 990 Duke will be covered with a new steel trellis frame. Additionally, this bike will be equipped with a fully adjustable USD telescopic front fork setup and a rear monoshock suspension system. Additionally, this bike will roll on 17-inch alloy wheels with Bridgestone S22 tyres. Braking is provided by 4-piston callipers at the front & a single-piston calliper at the rear. Moreover, the KTM 990 Duke will have a kerb weight of 179 Kg. 
 

KTM 990 Duke: Features

Speaking of features, the KTM 990 Duke will come with a bi-directional quick shifter, cornering ABS, cruise control, wheelie control, traction control, 5-riding modes & more. Additionally, this bike will also feature track mode & performance modes, allowing riders to access features like a lap timer.
 

Moreover, this bike will also get switchable ABS & TCS alongside providing access to the bike’s lean angle data for track excursions. However, these features will be available for free only for the first 1,500 km & then will be offered via subscription plans.
 

Additional features include a 5-inch TFT dashboard with Bluetooth connectivity, facilitated by KTM Connect mobile app. Speaking of design, it looks like a bigger Duke 390. This bike will get distinctive headlights with muscular tank shrouds to prevent an identity crisis within the Duke lineup. Nonetheless, the twin vertically stacked headlight setup, boomerang-shaped LED DRLs flanking headlight & the overall aesthetics might not fit everyone's taste.

Bajaj Tackles CNG Tank Safety Issues in Freedom 125 CNG Bike
July 6, 2024

Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125 in India at a starting price of Rs 95,000. It is the world's first CNG bike, and many customers might worry about the safety of having a CNG tank on a bike. Every year, many CNG cars fail, and bikes are more exposed than cars. Bajaj assures that the bike has been thoroughly tested for safety. The manufacturer says the bike has passed 11 different crash and impact tests at their test facility.How Bajaj Tested the New Freedom 125 CNG Bike Bajaj tested the bike from different angles. In the Front Collision Test, the Freedom 125 CNG bike crashed into a 1.5-ton moving barrier at a speed of 60kmph. Moreover, the company also did a Truck Runover Test, where a 10-ton truck was driven over the CNG bike. This test simulates a situation where the rider falls off and the bike gets run over by a truck. In both the Front Collision Test and the Truck Runover Test, the bike handled the impacts well. The CNG tank stayed in place, kept its shape, and did not leak.Bajaj also performed nine other tests: a Frontal Pendulum Test, a Rear Impact Test, a Left Side Impact Test, a Right Side Impact Test, a Vertical Drop Test, a 50kg Filling Unit Strength Test, two types of CNG Valve Impact Tests (to see if the valve breaks on impact), and a 20G Pull Out Test. Impact tests involved hitting the bike with a moving barrier, while drop tests involved dropping the bike from a height.What is Bajaj Providing in Freedom 125 CNG Bike?Bajaj designed the trellis frame and subframe to keep the CNG cylinder safe. These frames act like cages to protect the cylinder from damage in a crash. The engine is also placed away from the CNG cylinder, so the heat from the engine doesn’t affect the CNG tank. This is important because the CNG tank holds pressurized gas, which can expand when it gets hot.When filling the CNG tank, you need to get off the bike and stand at least 5 feet away. This safety measure at CNG fuel stations helps prevent accidents in case the CNG cylinder explodes.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the June 2024 FADA two-wheeler sales report. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb                 Instagram -  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta                 Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter

We anticipate some adjustments in the engine tuning for the Xpulse 210, which will be paired with a six-speed transmission. With the upgraded Xpulse 210, we expect better performance and output. This includes a higher top speed and better power delivery in advanced turns, as the current Xpulse tends to struggle in such conditions.  As shown here, the Xpulse 210 has a telescopic front fork with travel and a single rear shock. The braking system consists of front and rear discs mounted on spoked wheels with tubular tyres. Hero is likely to offer adaptive suspension and a rally kit for the Xpulse 210 as separate options similar to what exists today.  Hero MotoCorp is likely to launch the Xpulse 210 in the next few months. Due to the updated engine architecture and other improvements, we expect the price to be significantly higher than the Xpulse 200.Curious to know about the Newly Launched Revolt RV1 Electric Bike. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter

Battle of the Titans: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450
September 19, 2024

Motorcycling is the current trend, and the world is full of adventure for riders; the options now available are countless. With numerous options available, the Triumph Speed 400 and the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 stand out in this category. These motorcycles are for enthusiasts who seek performance, style, and comfort rolled into one. We will be taking a closer look at the detailed comparison of these two impressive motorbikes based on key parameters.  Comprehensive Overview of Bikes The Triumph Speed 400 follows the profile of its tagline with superior performance and excellent fuel efficiency. In contrast, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has a classic styling and a torque-rich ride that caters to riders' varied preferences.  Engine Details: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Both the bikes offer nice deals in terms of engine performance. The Triumph Speed 400 sports a 398.15cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. The engine delivers remarkable power to the bike, producing up to 39.8 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. Combining this power output with a well-suspended, light body truly creates a bike that is really fun to ride and has great handling.  Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 mounts a slightly larger 452cc engine that also puts out 40 horsepower at the same 8,000 rpm. While the horsepower numbers may be the same, the Guerrilla 450's extra displacement offers a different torque character that could influence how the bike rides in certain situations. That makes it a good bet for the rider who wants a more traditional, torquey ride experience.  Mileage: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Mileage is always a significant requirement for riders, especially those who travel by motorcycle every day. The Triumph Speed 400 surprised by offering a mileage of 34 km/l. At such an efficiency level, the bike can easily be used for urban travel as well as long journeys without being compelled to stop at each fueling station very often.  However, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450's mileage is 25 km/l. While decent, it's not as good as the Speed 400. Nevertheless, the Guerrilla 450's character and performance-oriented design might just turn the heads of those who wish to enjoy more on roads than just on fuel stations.  Top Speed: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450For speed enthusiasts, pushing a motorcycle to its top speed is an important thrill. Triumph Speed 400 will go over 170 km/h at the top end while providing a relaxed riding experience. Its light frame and powerful engine make for remarkable acceleration and handling.  The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 has a fair top speed of around 140 km/h. While this is less than the Speed 400, the Guerrilla 450 makes up for it by carrying strong low-end torque that helps a lot in real-world rideability. For riders who seek a mix of speed and usability, the Guerrilla 450 may well be appreciated.  Suspension and Brakes: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450The motorcycle's suspension and braking setup really make a significant difference for a rider. And if one were to imagine the character of the Triumph Speed 400, surely the advanced front upside-down forks. Moreover, the monoshock at the rear end contribute to making the bike's handling stable on various terrains. In conjunction with dual-channel ABS, this setup really gives a rider some assurance, especially in aggressive riding conditions or at sudden stops.  Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 features telescopic forks at the front and linkage type monoshock absorbers at the rear. It makes a ride in the vehicle very plush as it absorbs all the bumps on the road to the maximum extent possible. The use of modern braking technology in the making of the Guerrilla 450 ensures safety and reliability while on the ride.  Price Comparison: Triumph Speed 400 vs Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450The pricing factor also helps to make the decision about the motorcycles. Both models are competitively priced. Triumph Speed 400 is available at an ex-showroom price of ₹ 2.34 Lakh in India. Moreover, it's a bargain from which the rider gets an uncompromised amount of features and performance. Its heritage will give it immense quality and appeal to the riders through its design and technology, which is pretty great for good investments.  The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is a little costlier than that, available at a price range of ₹ 2.39 - 2.54 Lakh in India. It may be a bit more expensive, but the Guerrilla 450 is what gives it a signature style that is absolutely 'classically' and uniquely its own, hitting the right chord in certain segments of riders.  ConclusionSumming up, the Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 have their pros and cons. The former offers immense performance, great fuel efficiency, and high tech. Additionally, it makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of riders. Meanwhile, the Guerrilla 450 offers a traditional riding experience with its torque-heavy engine and comfortable suspension, catering to those who appreciate classic styling. Curious to know about the Revolt Launches RV1 Electric Bike; Upgrades RV400 Model. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
