KTM 790 Duke - 2027 Specifications and Reviews

The KTM 790 Duke returns for 2027 as the entry point into KTM's naked Duke range, powered by a 799cc parallel-twin producing a claimed 105 PS and 87 Nm through a 6-speed gearbox. A chromoly steel frame using the engine as a stressed member, WP Apex suspension front and rear, and radially mounted 4-piston front brakes give it sharp, lightweight handling at an 825mm seat height. It remains a compact, agile streetfighter aimed at spirited commuting and backroad riding.

Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a lively, responsive naked bike rather than a first-ever motorcycle.
Purpose	Designed as a sharp, lightweight streetfighter for spirited commuting, twisty backroads and occasional trackday fun.
Rider Fit	A moderate 825mm seat height and slim chassis make it manageable for most riders, though the punchy torque demands confident throttle control.
Character	Playful, aggressive and eager to change direction, with a torquey parallel twin that rewards an energetic riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance comfort, pillion-friendly touring, or serious off-road capability.
