KICK OFF SUMMER WITH KTM

New 125 & 390 Duke and 390 Adventure boast 0% interest deals until June

-

Finding a way through the complexiti­es of learning to ride and buying your first new bike is hard enough but finding a truly exhilarati­ng and funky A1 or A2 category bike can be even more of a struggle… So KTM Finance are making life a little easier by offering a new 0% deal on their brilliant 125 Duke, 390 Duke and 390 Adventure over 36 months.

Begin with a CBT

The 125 Duke is a great bike to start your riding career and perfect for urban commuting. It might be entry-level, but that doesn’t mean it’s short on features.

A TFT dash, illuminate­d switchgear buttons, an LED headlight, WP suspension and a four-piston radial caliper up front all give the Duke a premium bigbike feel. The gearbox is slick, and the WP suspension feels sporty and well sprung. The singlecyli­nder engine offers ample performanc­e for urban riding and, thanks to a dry weight of just 137kg, has more than enough power to stay ahead of the traffic.

A little more grunt…

Nicknamed ‘The Corner Rocket’, the 390 Duke has drawn so many riders to it ever since its introducti­on nearly a decade ago. And now, the 2021 model is still thrilling riders with its enthusiasm and performanc­e on each and every ride.

The 390 Duke is one of the very best machines in the A2 licence category. It offers unparallel­ed levels of fun, quality and performanc­e for its size, a 5.2in full colour dash, illuminate­d switchgear, brilliant panel fitment and deep glossy paint. The claimed dry weight is just 150kg dry, meaning its 43bhp single has more than enough poke to achieve a decent level of performanc­e. If you’re looking for a light and manageable naked that delivers more grins than per pound than any other bike – this is it.

…and adventure

Launched last year, the 390 Adventure is an extremely versatile bike that can offer a decent road ride and easily handle light trails.

The 390 Adventure is not a hardcore rally bike for squarechin­ned Dakar wannabes – instead it’s for riders dipping a toe in muddy waters for the first time. The Adventure differs from the Duke by virtue of longer suspension, with 170mm of wheel travel from the adjustable WP forks and 177mm from the longer shock. There’s also a taller 19in front wheel to help it roll over offroad obstacles, with new tyre sizes of 100/90 x 19 and 130/80 x 17. Life on the 390 is easy-going, with the rider sitting comfortabl­y in a well-proportion­ed, typically adventure bike position. The seamless action of the quickshift­er makes the ride even easier and strong accelerati­on from low down means overtaking slow-moving traffic is a breeze - perfect for commuters. It sounds good, too. Contact your local KTM dealer to reserve a test ride on these 0% finance bikes, and if you’re looking to take your A1 or A2 licence, then get in touch: www.ktm.com.
