Getting slipper clutch to RC 390 and Duke 390 not only going to help ride these bike at fast peace but also making Duke 390 cheapest bike with slipper clutch (previously ninja 300). Both of these bike's are getting slipper clutch for no extra cost ! but bad news is existing users won't able to upgrade their existing setup of their 390's.
