In terms of the cycle parts used across all the motorcycles, they are all similar in construction. Although the 390 Duke offers the most kit, it will come at a premium in comparison to all other motorcycles of this segment.

One thing worth mentioning is that on the 390 Duke, the brand has stated that the seat height can be lowered by 20 mm by removing the spacers underneath the seat to further aid the riding stance for any user.
