lakhs Nepalese Rupees which is quite a hefty price to acquire these two international standard bikes . But as for the bike enthusiasts,
it’s not just the brand that matters. As an international brands, both of these company has capacitated modern engineering and design features to lure the bike enthusiast of Nepal.
The fully adjustable suspensions
at both the front and the rear of the Benelli TNT 300 makes even the bumpiest
of rides comfortable. The cushiony spacious seats can capacitate both rider and
passenger and provide comfortable space while traveling. But comparatively Duke
offers less space and it is more of a solo ride bike. On the contrary, the
stiff suspension of KTM Duke 390 is what it makes it unique. Duke is more of a
track friendly bike.
The weight of a bike is related to its speed to some extent. The lighter a bike, the faster it goes. Benelli TNT 300 is much heavier compared to the KTM Duke 390 which is a plus point for the latter.
