KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo: For those who like premium sports bikes, KTM has unveiled its new motorcycle 1390 Super Duke GT Evo. The company presented it at EICMA 2026. It is a more feature-loaded variant of the standard 1390 Super Duke GT. It has a powerful 1,350cc V-twin engine, Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) and new WP semi-active suspension. The bike will also have an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen and offline navigation. Its sales in international markets are expected to start in early 2027.
1350cc engine will provide power of 187hp
The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is powered by a 1,350cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine. The same engine is also used in the company's 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. This engine generates power of 187hp and torque of 145Nm. It is attached with a steel trellis frame. The bike also gets a single-sided swingarm.
The motorcycle has 17-inch wheels both at the front and rear. Michelin Power 6 tires are available on these. A 120-section tire has been fitted at the front and a 190-section tire at the rear. The company has made its wheels 1.2 kg lighter than the standard Super Duke GT. The non-fuel weight of the bike is 213 kg, while the seat height is kept at 834 mm.
AMT gearbox is the biggest attraction of the bike
The most special feature of the new KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is its Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). Through this technology the rider gets two options to change gears. The bike can shift gears itself in automatic mode. Whereas, in manual mode, the rider can choose the gear as per his need.
This gives the rider the option to ride the bike as per his convenience in different conditions. Automatic gear shifting can be very convenient, especially during long distance riding.
WP semi-active suspension and adjustable seat
KTM has also made major changes in this bike in terms of suspension. It has a 48mm WP Apex semi-active front fork. It has a patented through-rod design, which helps in reducing weight and providing better feedback from the front wheel.
Linked monoshock suspension is provided at the rear. In this, damping can be adjusted electronically and preload can be adjusted hydraulically. To make long distance traveling comfortable, the clutch and brake lever, gear shifter and rear brake pedal are also adjustable.
Apart from this, the bike has been provided with adjustable windscreen, position changing handlebar and newly designed rider and pillion seat.
Brembo brakes and 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen
For braking, KTM has provided Brembo Stylema four-piston monoblock callipers with dual 320mm discs at the front. The rear wheel gets a 240mm disc and two-piston floating caliper.
Talking about the features, the bike has electronic systems like riding modes, traction control, quickshifter and ABS. Its lighting package includes cornering lights, DRL and a newly designed headlight.
It has an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen display. With its help many important features of the bike can be controlled. Standard offline map navigation is also available in it. This means that the rider will be able to use navigation even without an internet connection.
When will KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo be launched in India?
