2027 KTM 790 Duke Specs and Price

Beyond new graphics and styling cues taken from its bigger 990 and 1390 brothers, the 2027 KTM 790 Duke features significant updates, including a rework of the bike’s rider triangle.

“A new handlebar shape featuring a more open angle, repositioned rider and passenger footpegs, and an improved seat all work together to deliver a more natural, connected riding position,” says KTM.

“Despite its larger, more ‘grown-up’ appearance, a 4.4-pound weight reduction further enhances agility,” says KTM. “These, together with a new subframe, new triple clamps, and a new tank design, further improve handling and ergonomics and provide excellent chassis and front-wheel feedback.”

The new 790 Duke also features updated WP braking components and front and rear suspension fine-tuning.

The 2027 KTM 790 Duke will be available at authorized KTM dealers from late summer 2026 onward. It will be offered in two color choices, orange and black, with an MSRP of $9799.CN
