New 2027 KTM 990

Hitting every target with devastating accuracy, the all-new KTM 990 DUKE brings unmatched levels of precision to the street. Packing a reworked engine into an all-new frame, with adjustable WP APEX suspension and highly tuned electronics to boot, this - put simply - is the lightest, sharpest, most performance focused mid-class NAKED motorcycle to ever wear the DUKE nameplate.

Features may include:

• Adjustability

Precision and setup go hand-in-hand. In this case, 5-click adjustability on both the WP APEX 43 mm front fork and the WP APEX rear shock provide the ideal setup for maximum attack, while an adjustable handlebar and levers ensure the perfect posture for hitting the bullseye, everytime.

• Bodywork

An all-new and purposefully NAKED build is devoid of any clutter but packed with attitude. Wicked at standstill, and imposing on the move, the KTM 990 DUKE debuts an all new look for DUKE, boasting aggressive lines and design elements that shout POWER!

• Engine

Of course, this isnt the first time the DUKE nameplate and 990 have been seen together. However, this machine is a completely different powerplant. Nestled into the all-new frame is a 990 cc LC8c parallel-twin engine pumping out asphalt-ripping power. Not only powerful, it is also the most compact twin in class, adding to the KTM 990 DUKEs nimble handling characteristics. More aggressive camshaft profiles and longer valve openings result in improved rideability, while a wider radiator with optimized airflow ensures things stay cool. A new exhaust system rounds off this powerhouse package.

• Ergonomics

The brief for the KTM 990 DUKE was simple; develop the ultimate mid-weight street bike. The result is the lightest, most precise, most performance-focused mid-class NAKED, providing unmatched rider feedback, performance, and comfort in all riding scenarios. Whats more, the KTM 990 DUKE is designed to inspire confidence in all riders, from beginners looking for a little more, all the way up to advanced riders who want to rip up the tarmac.

• Frame

The KTM 990 DUKE has been developed with a completely new tubular frame, with torsional stiffness and rider feel as a top priority, thanks to the use of forged parts over sheet metal and an integrated swingarm pivot point, adding additional stiffness. An aluminum diecast subframe integrates the airbox and air intakes under the seat, reducing weight.
