With the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR 2026, KTM unleashes the most radical version of its hypernaked lineup onto the streets. Developed in the heart of Austria, it's designed as an uncompromising performance machine to top the street model charts.
The clear focus: less weight, more precision, maximum performance.
At the heart of the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR 2026 lies the renowned LC8 V-twin engine, expanded to 1,350 cc. According to the manufacturer, this powerhouse delivers 193 hp and 145 Nm of torque. The integrated CAMSHIFT technology is designed to provide exceptionally strong pull throughout the entire rev range. This means the V2 not only packs a punch at high RPMs but also delivers consistent thrust in the mid-range—a classic steam hammer, as expected from Mattighofen.
An Akrapovič titanium slip-on exhaust ensures the perfect sound.
A key focus of the development is weight reduction. Compared to the SUPER DUKE R, the RR version is said to be 11 kilograms lighter (189 kg without fuel). It features WP PRO COMPONENTS that draw their technology from the MotoGP arena, ensuring maximum adjustability and precise feedback. The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR 2026 consistently relies on high-quality components:
