KTM motorcycle development and product launches

Overview

KTM is advancing its motorcycle lineup through both prototype development and limited-edition releases.

Testing has been observed for a new bicylindrical naked motorcycle platform, specifically a 490 Duke prototype in Europe. This model aims to bridge the gap between the 390 Duke and larger displacement motorcycles, featuring a steel trellis frame and a projected power output of 55 to 65 CV. A public presentation is anticipated toward the end of 2027.

Simultaneously, the company has announced the 1390 Super Duke RR, a limited-edition model restricted to 350 units globally. This high-performance version utilizes a 1350 cc V-twin engine and carbon fiber components to reduce weight. A track-only variant, the 1390 Super Duke RR Track, is also being offered with a production limit of 100 units.
