I see the 390 Duke has an option of a KTM approved Rekluse centrifugal
clutch.

<https://www.ktm.com/en-lv/parts---wear/powerparts/products.html?c1=1001509715&c2=1001509716&product=1001614072?year=2023&segment=Naked%20Bike&model=F4303W1>

Has anyone tried one?

What does it bring to a road-oriented bike that already has a
quickshifter option?

I think you're also able to pull away and stop without disengaging the clutch, so it's more like a semi-automatic.

Not sure why on earth you'd need one on the road though.

I think the primary reason someone would want one is if they've
got limited strength in their left hand to hold in the lever at a
stop.
