KTM 2027 new models: what to expect at EICMA

What is KTM bringing to EICMA 2026? The announcement ranges from new colours for the small supermotos and enduros to new control hardware on the Super Duke. On top of that, the 1390 Super Duke GT, already presented at the show back in 2024, gets an announced dealer date. Anyone waiting for the off-road news, however, will have to be patient until the press conference. Here are the changes for 2027 announced so far.

For 2027, the KTM 390 Adventure R gets a new switch cube on the left handlebar, which can be used to activate the optional cruise control. So cruise control for those long transfer stages is catered for, but according to the announcement it is not part of the standard features. KTM expects it to add extra comfort on longer journeys.

The revised KTM 390 Adventure X is set to follow only after EICMA 2026. Alongside two new colour options, KTM announces a TFT display. The manufacturer gives availability as around December, which in the context of the announcement means the end of 2026.

On the KTM 790 Adventure, the announced update focuses on looks. The previous choice of orange and white makes way for a black look in 2027.

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R gets two new colour options and a revised 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT. Together with new handlebar switches, its user interface is said by KTM to be clearer, faster and easier to operate on the move. The manufacturer also announces an optimised Brembo HyPure braking system intended to improve stopping power, precision and control.

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO receives the same announced update of two new colour options, a revised 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT, new handlebar switches and the optimised Brembo HyPure braking system. The preview makes no distinction between the R and R EVO for these changes.

Following its first presentation at EICMA 2024, the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT is due in dealerships in early 2027. Compared with the previous generation, KTM announces a comprehensive further development. Features include an 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT with integrated offline map navigation, a windscreen that is adjustable as standard and an integrated SP Connect mount. According to the manufacturer, the seat ergonomics have also been revised. This is meant to make long stages more comfortable without compromising dynamics.

The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT EVO adds the KTM Automated Manual Transmission, AMT for short, to the GT's features. According to KTM, the system enables clutchless riding. You can choose between manual gear changes and a fully automatic shift mode. Whether you handle gear selection yourself or leave it to the automatic thus becomes a decision depending on the riding situation. The announcement does not give a separate dealer date for the EVO.

For the KTM 390 SMC R, KTM announces new colours and revised styling. The supermoto thus gets a refreshed look for 2027, though the preview does not yet name specific colours.

The KTM 390 Enduro R also enters the 2027 model year with new colours and revised styling. KTM presents these changes together with those of the 390 SMC R, with the Enduro's focus accordingly on off-road use.

The KTM 125 SMC gets new colour options for the 2027 model year. In the preview, it represents the supermoto side of the 125cc entry-level segment. Exactly which colours remains open for now.

The KTM 125 Enduro is also in line for new colour options. KTM assigns it to the dual-sport entry-level segment. The announcement mentions no technical changes for any of the four small supermoto and enduro models.

For the off-road range, KTM promises new technologies and a further surprise from its portfolio. Details are to be presented exclusively at the official press conference on 3 November 2026 at 10:45 CET. From that point, the relevant EICMA press materials, high-resolution images and additional information are also set to be available in the media area. Until then, KTM points to a countdown and the first preview.

During EICMA from 3 to 8 November 2026, KTM will show a selection of its 2027 models in Milan, Hall 22, Stand E08. The present announcement gives no prices for any of the models. Specific availability dates so far exist only for the 390 Adventure X, at around December, and the 1390 Super Duke GT, in early 2027.

At EICMA 2026 in Milan, Husqvarna Mobility is presenting the model year 2027 Norden 901 with a new Metallic Blue paint finish, along with further technical innovations for the off-road segment. The adventure bike remains technically unchanged and continues to rely on the 889 cc parallel twin with 105 hp and 100 Nm, fully adjustable WP APEX suspension, tubeless 21/18-inch spoked wheels, various riding modes and a 19-litre tank. Besides the new colour option for the Norden 901, show visitors can look forward to further new models, innovative off-road technologies and a special surprise from the off-road segment. All details will be revealed at the official Husqvarna press conference on 3 November 2026 at 10:45 CET.
