Description
The KTM 790 Duke is back for 2026 with its biggest update since the bike first launched in 2018.
With revised styling, new suspension, fresh ergonomics, a new TFT dashboard and WP-developed brakes, KTM has given its middleweight naked a substantial overhaul. The question is whether the changes improve the bike without taking away the playful character that made the original 790 Duke such a hit.
We headed to Austria to ride the new bike on some of Europe's best roads to find out.
In this review, we will cover:
• Performance and engine impressions
• New WP brake system tested
• Updated suspension and handling
• TFT dashboard and technology
• Comfort and ergonomics
• Pros and cons
• Final verdict
Would you choose the KTM 790 Duke over rivals like the Yamaha MT-09, Suzuki GSX-8S or Triumph Street Triple?
