KTM 1390 Super Duke R

66% Match

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R is the outright performance flagship, pairing a 187.7 bhp/145 Nm V-twin with cruise control, traction control, a longer 455 km range and a stiffer tubular chassis - all for roughly ₹9 lakh more than the Ducati. The Ducati Monster counters with a lighter, more approachable package, slightly better fuel efficiency, a quickshifter, cornering ABS/wheelie control, Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation and unlimited-km warranty at a significantly lower price. Choose the Super Duke R for sheer power and touring-friendly range, or the Monster for value, everyday usability and tech-forward convenience.

Why Monster for you?

Lighter & easier in traffic

At 188 kg vs 210 kg, the Monster is noticeably easier to filter through traffic, manage at low speeds and hold up at signals.

Lower seat height

815 mm seat height is friendlier for shorter commuters putting feet down repeatedly in city stops compared to the 834 mm Super Duke R.

Much lower price

At ₹13.99 lakh vs ₹22.96 lakh, the Monster is a far less expensive daily tool, which matters for everyday use bikes.
