The 2021 KTM 890 Duke is the latest iteration of the Austrian marque’s mid-weight sportsbike, boasting a potent parallel-twin engine that unleashes 115 horsepower and 92 Nm of torque. Building on the success of its 790cc predecessor, the LC8c engine has been refined with a more sophisticated mapping logic, resulting in a smoother and more stable ride, particularly at lower revs.
The 890 Duke’s design is unmistakably KTM, with a sleek and aggressive aesthetic that turns heads on the road. However, it’s the bike’s compact, lightweight engine that truly sets it apart, providing an exhilarating riding experience that’s equally suited to both country roads and twisty mountain passes.
With its Euro5 compliance and impressive fuel efficiency of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers, the 890 Duke offers a unique blend of performance and practicality. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, this bike’s keen handling and responsive engine will put a massive grin on your face, and keep it there long after the ride is over.
