Braking & Handling:

RC 390 handles sharply. The revised seating position with sharper rakes & low set of clip-on handle bars give you even more confidence than Duke 390.

They are made of soft compound which doesn’t need to get heated to offer grip. However, they have low life of about 12K-15K Km depending on your riding style

Both shorter & taller riders will find themselves welcome here.
Duke 390 gets a 300mm disc brake in front & a single 230mm disc at the rear.

What Insurance cover to opt for:

RC 390 is prone to theft. That is why it is a good idea to have an insurance that gives you complete cover from theft.
Having cover against crashes, vandalism etc. is always a good idea.
Value of plastics depreciates a lot. 0% depreciation insurance goes a long way in keeping the repair bills down in case of a fall.
Always prefer an insurance that gives you cashless benefit.
