KTM 990 Duke R 2026

The KTM 990 Duke R is a bike that scores points above all for its versatility. It combines a powerful and easy-to-control engine with a well-balanced suspension and modern electronics. It offers more than enough power on narrow mountain passes without being overpowering. At the same time, thanks to its adjustability, it can be adapted to a wide range of riding styles and conditions. With a price of €16,399 in Austria and €14,985 in Germany, the Duke R is positioned in the upper segment. However, in view of the power and features on offer, this price seems reasonable.
