KTM 390 Duke vs Triumph Speed 400 on track
One standing-start lap of the Ref Ring, our 3.4 km circuit with no home-crowd corners. Every braking point, apex speed and straight is computed from the published specs, so the stopwatch has no favourites.

The KTM 390 Duke laps the Ref Ring in 1:53.42 on paper, 2.53 seconds quicker than the Triumph Speed 400 at 1:55.95. That gap is worth about 102 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 0.71 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.
Through the corners there is nothing between them on paper; this one is decided by power and braking. Top speed goes 164 km/h to 157 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.
Simulated lap times from published specs with stated assumptions, not measured track data. The circuit is fictional and the physics are listed under the race. Read about both bikes: KTM 390 Duke and Triumph Speed 400.
