New Motorcycle Unveiled
KTM has officially revealed the all-new 1390 Super Duke GT Evo at EICMA 2026. Positioned right above the standard model, this bike is built specifically for long-distance, high-speed sport touring. It is set to go on sale across global markets in early 2027, though its launch in India is not yet confirmed.
Engine and Transmission
The bike runs on a 1,350 cc, two-cylinder, V 75-degree engine that it shares with the 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. It pushes out 187 horsepower and 145 Nm of peak torque. A key addition is the advanced Automated Manual Transmission, or AMT. Riders can switch between fully automated gear shifts or manual shifting depending on what they prefer.
Design and Build
For rider comfort, the handlebars are forward-adjustable for a more upright posture, and the windshield can be moved to low or high positions. The machine has a seat height of 834 mm, a ground clearance of 149 mm, and weighs 213 kg. Frame stiffness is three times higher than the standard model, paired with latest-generation WP Semi Active Technology suspension that uses a lighter thru-rod construction.
Wheels and Technology
It rolls on 17-inch wheels wearing Michelin Power 6 tires, paired with Brembo Stylema brakes. The electronics package includes an 8.8-inch TFT dashboard with offline onboard map navigation, a USB Type-C charging port, and a new LED headlight that lights up to 90 degrees wide. Riders can use Rain, Street, Sport, Custom, and optional Track modes, alongside various ABS and traction control settings.
Context
EICMA is one of the largest annual motorcycle trade shows in the world, making it a common platform for major global brands to showcase their upcoming flagship models. Sport-touring motorcycles like this one aim to combine the high-speed handling of a sports bike with the comfort needed for long hours on the highway. Manufacturers often use global events to announce new lineups months before they physically reach dealership showrooms.
