KTM 790 Duke (2020)

The KTM 790 DUKE is a menacingly accurate machine, bred for the corners. Its 799cc LC8c parallel twin motor, nestled in one of the lightest and most compact chassis around, delivers exceptional efficiency with class-leading power and torque.

At the heart of this beast lies a compact, liquid-cooled 8-valve DOHC unit, built for torque and delivering a peak torque at 8,000 rpm. An advanced ride-by-wire system ensures great refinement, low fuel consumption, and exceptional emission figures.

The exhaust system is a masterpiece, a stainless-steel thing of beauty that centralizes mass and allows for a relatively small muffler, playing a dramatic soundtrack as you gun it.

But what truly sets the KTM 790 DUKE apart is its agility, which comes from the deftness of its lightweight chassis and the innovative combination of tubular steel frame, cast aluminum subframe and swing arm, performance-oriented wheels, brakes, and WP suspension.

The result is a ride that’s not just fast, but dynamically thrilling, with the ability to flick from one bend to the next with pinpoint precision, putting you in the heart of the action and not on the sidelines. The KTM 790 DUKE is a force to be reckoned with, a lightweight powerhouse that demands to be ridden at the limit.
