tft display ktm duke 390 brands

Fancy a super nifty and handy navigation system for your new 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and/or R? Well, KTM has announced that they’ve released a brand new update for their MY RIDE application which will allow riders to have turn-by-turn navigation shown on their TFT screen display of the bike.

KTM also stated that the update can be installed on any new 2017 models and above which comes ready with their super beautiful TFT screen. The best part of it all that the new navigation update can be installed at no extra charge (provided that you’ve already opted for the MY RIDE application package when you purchased the bike).

So far, the KTM models that have the new TFT screen are the KTM 125 and 390 Duke, 1290 Super Duke R, 1290 Super Adventure S and R, and of course the 790 Duke. So far, the models which are available now in Malaysia are the 390 Duke, 1290 Super Adventure S and R plus the 1290 Super Duke R (Quick note: The navigation can only be displayed on the 1290 Super Adventure models).

KTM’s Duke range is out, and the family has just gotten bigger. There’s a new 250 Duke that slots between the 200 Duke and 390 Duke. The smallest of the lot gets negligible updates while the 250 borrows styling cues, side-mounted exhaust and slipper clutch from the 390. The best of features are still reserved for the 390, which gets ride-by-wire, adjustable brake and clutch levers, split LED headlights and a segment first, a 5-inch colour TFT display. Here are five things the screen allows you to do.

The colour TFT display has most of the right side reserved for the usual information, such as the tachometer, trip meter, odometer fuel gauge and speedometer. As you keep going faster and faster, it gets more and more difficult to read the speedometer as you can’t afford to take your eyes off the tarmac. The TFT display on this KTM increases the font size of the speedometer gradually as you go past 80kmph to make it easier to read quickly, even as you’re picking up pace.

The bike will allow you to connect your smartphone to it via Bluetooth using KTM’s My Ride app, which will allow you to scroll through your music playlist. You’ll also be able to control the playback using the controls on the left side of the handlebar. Using a motorcycle-specific Bluetooth communicator in conjunction with the bike’s playback controls makes for a perfect companion for longer rides.

This is not part of the standard feature list at the moment, but the hardware is already there to enable it. Multiple ABS modes are said to be programmed into the bike’s software for European markets, though, and KTM could unlock the feature for India at a later stage for an extra price.

The 390’s TFT Display on the launch bike had two modes: Road and Super Moto. Super Moto will complement the ABS mode that goes by the same name. It will allow you spin the rear wheel faster than the front without the electronics cutting in so you can slide the rear using the engine’s power. The inclusion of ride-by-wire has allowed KTM to include this feature in the new 390 Duke. However, just like the ABS modes, these ride modes are not on offer at the moment for India. They could be on offer at a later stage as optional extras, possibly as part of the KTM PowerParts bouquet.

The KTM 390 DUKE is a prime example of why so many people are drawn to the thrill of urban motorcycling. This cornering projectile from the Austrian manufacturer’s 2022 lineup promises to maximize riding pleasure at value for money, earning all the praise thanks to its agile performance.

The KTM 390 Duke’s engine offers plenty of torque and powerful acceleration, good manners for everyday use, and excellent economy. This light and compact 44-hp engine is one of the most powerful options for users with an A2 permit.

The KTM 390 DUKE engine not only delivers arm-wrenching torque and hair-raising acceleration, but also good manners in everyday use, all with outstanding fuel economy. This lightweight, compact engine really packs a punch and with 32 kW (44 hp) it’s one of the most powerful options out there for A2 riders. Thanks to the ingenious intake design and the meticulous fuel injection system, the KTM 390 DUKE is ready and waiting to tear-up the streets and the circuits alike.

The KTM 390 DUKE comes as standard with ultra-lightweight, high-performance upside-down WP forks. Using the latest open-cartridge technology, these forks not only perform above expectations when pushed to the limits, but are also nice and easy to maintain. This makes them perfect for all aspects of riding, from relaxed cruising to hammering around on closed circuits and everything in between.

Thanks to its progressive 150 mm spring, the KTM 390 DUKE will perform in any environment you can throw at it. The preload is adjustable, so you can count on well-balanced suspension whether you’re riding solo or two-up, with or without luggage, on road or on track. The choice is yours.

Wrapped in premium rubber, the pro-spec tires will keep your KTM 390 DUKE glued to the road. They offer outstanding grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability, even for riders that know how to push tires to their absolute limits.

A high-tech BYBRE braking system works in perfect harmony with the advanced ABS, providing riders with firm, controlled stopping power when they need it most. With a 320 mm brake disc on the front, paired with a 230 mm disc on the rear, the KTM 390 DUKE delivers exceptional pro-level stopping power, and you know what they say: “braking harder makes you faster!”

The two-part seat offers first class sport riding ergonomics with perfect support for both rider and pillion.  A seat height of 820 mm (32.3 in) enables riders to have a super-secure position, whilst also being high enough for ultimate cornering fun. The pillion seat has been integrated into the bodywork so as not to compromise the stunt-ready look of the KTM 390 DUKE, whilst also ensuring excellent comfort for the passenger.

Hi-tech upright handlebars offer KTM 390 DUKE riders a controlled yet aggressive body position, allowing you to dominate in all aspects of riding. From destroying corners to pulling the perfect stoppie, these bars will give you the balance and confidence you need to attack the road like never before. Clutch and brake levers are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize your cockpit to suit your individual riding style.

As an absolute first in its class, the KTM 390 DUKE boasts an innovative multicolor TFT display, presenting all the data you need to go faster in a clear-cut, uncluttered way. As you rev the engine, the display bars change color, either spurring you on or telling you to back off when the engine’s still cold. The display also automatically adapts its color to best suit the light conditions around you. Innovation at its best!!!

Thanks to the ingenious intake design and the meticulous fuel injection system, the KTM 390 DUKE is ready and waiting to tear-up the streets and the circuits alike.

RIDE-BY-WIRE: It"s the guarantee of a smooth throttle response, more than simply the absence of a throttle cable. The KTM 390 DUKE"s ride-by-wire ensures perfect delivery of the readily available and gut-wrenching torque. It also electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into throttle valve positions, perfectly suited to the riding conditions, making this the perfect crossover bike for both road and circuit riding.

CYLINDER HEAD: Just like the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, the four valves in the cylinder head of the KTM 390 DUKE are actuated by two overhead camshafts and ultra-hard, carbon coated cam followers. The result is an ultra-reliable, long-lasting engine that produces next-level power.

INJECTION: The intricate engine design, state-of-the-art injection electronics and close-ratio, 6-speed transmission not only help the KTM 390 DUKE to achieve white-knuckle performance, but also extremely low fuel consumption. At the same time, thanks to the regulated catalytic converter, it produces minimal emissions, even when riding at full throttle.

A2 LICENSE: The KTM 390 DUKE matches all the A2 driver´s license requirements and thanks to its high power-to-weight ratio, it’s one of the most dynamic options out there for new riders.

EXHAUST: The KTM 390 DUKE’s lightweight and precision-crafted exhaust system comprises of a side exhaust, link pipe and silencer.

Oh, and it looks angry as hell too.

KTM started in 1934 and it has a long history of making fantastic sports motorcycles. The new RC 390 model shows that the brand is set to continue this trend. Now in its second generation, the model follows the original RC 390 of 2013, and motorcycle enthusiasts have a good reason to be excited about it.

The 2022 RC 390 is expected to be packed with tech and a complete refresh of what was previously on the market. Indeed, it is shaping up to be perfect to take on the track and might compete with some other KTM models, including the 390 Adventure.

From fresh design features to enhanced suspension and gearbox updates, the KTM RC 390 is very much what enthusiasts were looking for when the bike was first hinted at. While we did find out some fresh information about the long-awaited motorcycle, KTM is still keeping the RC 390 under wraps. Here"s what we know and why we"re excited about the 2022 KTM RC 390.

The designers at KTM have really created a fresh new look for the RC 390, changing it up a bit and freshening things up. In terms of the body, KTM has removed the narrow fish-looking design for a wider look. Also, the various design features on the body enhance the bike considerably. It will come with LED headlights, giving a complete sense of change in the design of the RC model. The bike also features clip-on handlebars (which have been long-awaited) and new, wheels which are expected to be lighter than the ones on the previous model, offsetting weight gains from the added tech features.

There will also be a larger gas tank, making the bike all the more suitable for racing and longer journeys. The blue and orange color scheme is brilliant too. Also featuring a split seat and more padding, the RC 390 should be comfier than previous RC models.

As mentioned above, the RC 390 features an updated suspension. On the fork tops, there are appear to be two adjusters (one on each). The KTM 390 Adventure already features adjustable compression, and many are expecting the RC 390 to be very similar in this regard. Also, the rear suspension has undergone a heavy revision too, aiding the chassis overall.

The revised suspension is expected to help boost ride quality while keeping the bike competitive. Overall, this update should make the RC 390 a more appealing vehicle, with its overall performance boost and dynamicity.

The TFT screen is a long-overdue addition to the RC lineup. TFT stands for "thin-film-transistor," providing a boost in image quality and offering a variation on the standard LCD screen. The screen is a 5-inch colored TFT instrument cluster as was used on the 390 Duke. The RC 390 features a control on the left switchgear which allows ease of access to the screen. Indeed, riders will be allowed to access performance functions as well as the long-awaited Bluetooth functions.

The display adds some features, including monitoring vital readouts and performance. It will definitely make the driving experience all the more impressive and it generally makes the bike easier to use, too.

Featuring a more refined gearbox and some minor engine improvement, the RC 390 is going to be a great second-generation model in this regard. Power is expected to be the same 43 hp as in the previous model, but we wouldn"t be surprised if the bike churns out a bit more when it finally debuts.

The RC 390 is going to be available in many countries, and it is the bike that will come with the MotoGP-inspired paint job. The RC 125 and RC 200, on the other hand debuting in Europe and Asia, are not going to feature this paint job but will have the same design and performance abilities.

Indeed, the relatives of the RC 390 are shaping up to be just as fantastic and fun. They may not be as performance-based as the RC 390 but they are still exciting models to be released in 2022.
