• 2024 KTM Duke 390 updated – new frame and sub-frame, LC4c engine goes from 373 cc to 399 cc

  In Bikes, International Bike News, KTM / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 23 August 2023 11:52 am / 7 comments

  

  2024 KTM Duke 390 Electronic Orange

  Getting a major update is the 2024 KTM Duke 390 naked sportsbike (retailing at RM31,800 in Malaysia for the 2023 model.) Biggest change is in engine capacity and the frame which KTM says gives better power and improved handling.

  The Duke 390’s trellis frame is now a two-piece design comprising of a steel trellis main frame mated to a die-cast forged aluminium sub-frame. The aluminium swingarm is also new, now with a curved design to accommodate a monoshock that is set off-centre to the frame.

  With the monoshock mounted off-center, the Duke 390 has a larger airbox while reducing overall seat height. Citing increased torsional rigidity as the primary benefit, the new Duke 390 frame has improved agility and enhanced feedback from the chassis, giving the rider greater control and stability.

  

  2024 KTM Duke 390 Atlantic Blue

  Biggest change comes in the engine room, with the Euro 5.2 compliant LC4c single-cylinder engine now displacing 398.7 cc, compared to the previous 373 cc. The new power plant comes with redesigned cylinder head and six-speed gearbox, and is rated at 44.25 hp with 39 Nm of torque compared to the 44 hp and 37 Nm of the previous generation.

  Seat height for the Duke 390 is now adjustable by removing a spacer between 820 mm in standard and 800 mm in low mode. This is a big difference from the 830 mm non-adjustable seat height of the outgoing model, while weight is now 165 kg (dry) compared to 149 kg (dry) previously.

  Inside the cockpit, a new 5-inch TFT-LCD display comes with traction control and two selectable ride modes – Road and Rain – while Track mode adjusts the display to track duty, giving prominence to the tachometer, lap timer and gear indicator. Track mode also enables Launch Control which brings the LC4c engine to a peak of 7,000 rpm before the PASC anti-slip clutch is released.

  

  Bodywork is also new, with longer tank spoilers featuring prominent air intakes, larger radiator covers, and external LED positioning lights. Colour options for the Duke 390 include Electronic Orange and Atlantic Blue while LED lighting is used throughout.

  Braking is done with a four-piston radial-mount calliper in front on a 320 mm disc while the rear gets a 240 mm disc with two-piston floating calliper. Cornering ABS is standard equipment while Supermoto ABS disables ABS braking to the rear wheel, allowing for rear wheel slides.

  The Duke 390 is fitted with a 43 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge front fork with 5-step adjustment for rebound and compression. In the rear, the split piston monoshock is adjustable for preload and rebound.

• 2023 GIIAS: Honda EM-1 electric scooter shown

  In Bikes, Electric motorcycles, Honda Motorcycles, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 11 August 2023 4:54 pm / 3 comments

  

  Seen at the ongoing 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in Jakarta is the Honda EM-1 electric scooter. With the EM-1 making its debut in Europe this summer, its presence at GIIAS is an indication it will enter the Indonesia market.

  This would not be a big surprise as Malaysia’s ASEAN neighbour has been strongly promoting the take-up and utilisation of electric vehicles, notably in the small motorcycle segment. The EM-1 was last year announced as part of Honda’s plan to release 10 or more electric two-wheelers globally by 2025.

  The ‘EM’ stands for Electric Moped and styling closely follows traditional scooter design language with short wheelbase and flat floorboard for easy mounting and dismounting while wearing work clothes. Intended as a short-range urban electric scooter (e-bike), there EM-1 has short travel range of 40 km from its single battery.

  

  

  

  Calling it a Mobile Power Pack (MPP), the battery is swappable with Honda showing its e:Technology battery swapping station at the show. Other details provided on the EM-1 include a 45 km/h maximum speed with 3.1 hp and 90 Nm of torque coming from the hub-mounted electric motor.

  With a lithium-ion battery pack rated at 29.4 Ah, the EM-1 takes six hours to go to a 100% charge using domestic current while a 25% to 70% charge takes 160 minutes. Weight of the EM-1 with battery onboard is 95 kg while seat height is 775 mm.

  All pricing for the 2023 Scramblers excludes road tax, insurance and registration. This compares against the 2022 price of RM57,900 for the Scrambler Icon while the Nightshift went for RM66,900.

  Power for the Scrambler Icon, Nightshift and Full Throttle still comes from Ducati’s iconic Desmosdue air-cooled V-twin producing 73 hp. Going on a diet, the Scrambler now weighs 4 kg less than the previous generation, with a redesigned trellis frame and lighter engine internals.

  

  A new swingarm is combined with a shock absorber with mounting point located to the centreline. The frame redesign now has the main frame and rear sub-frame separated, making crash repairs and modifications easier.

  Also new is the pattern for the alloy wheels though sizing remains the same at 18-inches in front and 17-inches in the rear. Weight savings of 2.5 kg is gained in the engine room, with a new eight-disc clutch and a softer lever pull.

  

  New for the Scrambler is ride-by-wire throttle which allows the fitting of Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and two riding modes – Road and Wet. Standard equipment is cornering ABS and the Scrambler Icon and Nightshift come ready to be fitted with the optional Ducati up-and-down quickshifter.

  The quickshifter is standard equipment on the Full Throttle while the Ducati Multimedia System which connects to the rider’s smartphone is optional across the range. Other design changes include the headlight, which is now a full LED unit, also with redesigned LED taillight and LED turn signals.

  

  Information is now displayed on the new 4.3-inch color TFT cluster, giving the Scrambler a more modern outlook. The steel tank has been redesigned, as are the side covers, and equipped with an interchangeable cover that, along with the fenders and details on the headlamp, allow the rider to customise the Scrambler to his or her wishes.

  There are nine colour combinations available for the Scrambler Icon obtained through mixing and matching tank colours and panels. The Nightshift comes in Nebula Blue while the Full Throttle is available only in Red.
