The 2027 KTM 790 DUKE features a 5-inch, bonded-glass TFT dashboard, delivering a clear and commanding view for the rider. An intuitive motorcycle infographic illustrates each menu function, clearly showing exactly what is being adjusted, while a streamlined menu structure makes for quick, effortless access to all features, requiring fewer clicks and allowing riders to stay focused on the ride.
Setting the benchmark for KTM's parallel-twin performance, the LC8c, sitting at the heart of the KTM 790 DUKE, is one of the lightest and most compact parallel-twin engines in its segment. Forged around producing torque (87 Nm), it delivers smooth, usable power from low RPM while still providing an exhilarating top-end surge - right up to 105 PS at 9,500 rpm. It's EURO 5+ too, thanks to an all-new full exhaust system, with a fuel consumption of only 4.6 l/100 km. In European markets, the KTM 790 DUKE is available in a 95 PS configuration, meeting A2 license requirements.
The 2027 KTM 790 DUKE has a Ride Mode ready to dominate just about any eventuality. In the default STREET setting, riders have full power, traction control, and limited front wheel lift, with easy throttle response and Road ABS. SPORT steps up the experience with sharper throttle control and some wheel slip, while RAIN mode does what it says on the box, providing maximum traction and reducing power from 105 PS to 95 PS in wet conditions. For the more daring, Supermoto ABS can be activated to allow for tire-smoking rear-wheel skids.
