This drag race between the newly introduced RE Guerrilla 450 and the KTM Duke 390 is exciting. The Indian two-wheeler manufacturer has just introduced the Guerrilla 450 for the Indian market. It comes with the same engine as the Himalayan 450. However, it handles completely differently. It is more aimed at those who need a roadster for long road trips. On the other hand, the KTM Duke 390 is a top-notch functional motorcycle that provides incredible riding capabilities. Sports driving enthusiasts opt for it. . Let’s take a look here at the main points of this endurance race.
This post comes from REDLINE Z800 on YouTube. The YouTuber rides two motorcycles on a transparent road. For the first lap, he takes the Guerrilla 450. At the count of 3, either driver accelerates hard. They remain side by side during the first moments. However, the Duke 390’s strength allows it to take the lead, without being captured by the Guerrilla in the race. For the second round, they swapped runners. This ensures that your driving manners and your weight are taken into account. This time, the Duke 390 moves forward from the launch itself. However, I have the impression that the KTM rider left even before the 3 horns. Anyway, the Duke 390 is definitely the larger of the two in terms of straight-line acceleration.
The RE Guerrilla 450 is powered by a 452cc, 4-valve, DOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled Sherpa engine that produces a maximum force and torque of 40. 02 PS at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm. /min. There is a 6-speed transmission with multi-plate slipper and slipper clutch and helps with ride-through-wire technology. The tubular metal frame uses the motor as a pressure member.

On the other hand, the KTM Duke 390 draws its power from a 398. 63 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 46 PS at 8,500 rpm and 39 Nm at 6,500 rpm of force and torque. spot. This engine is paired with a 6-speed transmission with an assist and slipper clutch. It is priced at Rs 3. 13 lakh, ex-showroom.
I’ve reported countless cases of YouTubers using drag racing to discover and compare the functionality of two vehicles. These are cars, but also motorcycles. While it is wonderful to watch, I would like to warn our readers to never watch it themselves. These types of stunts carry many risks. YouTubers are professionals or apply many protective measures behind the scenes, so never try to imitate them to keep yourself and your vehicle safe.
