KTM 890 Duke R 2020

The KTM 890 Duke R appears playful, handy but with high-quality equipment. The engine and weight are reminiscent of much smaller motorbikes. The power unit revs up lively and hangs directly on the throttle. The bike turns easily and rides light-footed. Braking and the electronics package, however, are in the big league. Therefore, the 890 Duke is a fast and cool bike for country roads and racetracks.

Great electronics package

High-quality brakes

Extensively adjustable chassis

High-revving engine

Playful handling

Slightly nervous tendencies - loose sitting position necessary

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. It is not a bike for minimalists, but for riders who are looking for a high level of technology, performance and customisation options and are prepared to invest accordingly.
