KTM unveils two 1390 Super Adventure bikes and Duke naked range
KTM recently rolled out its street-oriented adventure bike, the 1390 Super Adventure S EVO, and the off-road-ready 1390 Super Adventure R, as well as a five-model range of naked options for the 2026 model year.
KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S EVO The 1390 Super Adventure S Evo features an all-new automated manual transmission that lets riders choose between traditional manual shifting or a twist-and-go automated transmission.
The street-focused S Evo has 19−inch front and 17−inch rear cast wheels, sits lower than the R, and doesn’ t possess a physical clutch lever. It is fitted with the latest generation WP Semi-Active Technology( SAT) suspension and, compared to the previous generation, the SAT has been tuned to be more precise with consistent damping behavior at higher frequencies.
Horsepower and torque are increased in the new S Evo, with an engine displacement increased from 1,300cc to 1,350cc. This comes courtesy of reworked engine components and all-new CamShift technology, which provides improved rideability in the rpm range, higher peak performance, and low emissions and fuel consumption.
Styling and ergonomics have also been updated, with new bodywork and seat design, an all-new LED headlight, windshield, and storage compartment.
A new 8−inch touchscreen that features ride modes and navigation is included, as well as adaptive cruise control, which adds brake assistance, collision warning, and distance warning.
KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R The 1390 Super Adventure R also features an all-new bodywork design, LED lighting, a shorter, more off-road-focused windshield, and more storage options. This year, it gets an increase in frame stiffness, improving handling and track stability, and a reworked engine guard.
Unlike the S Evo, the R model is fitted with a more traditional suspension setup better suited to harder off-road use. Similar to the S Evo, the engine displacement increased from 1,300 to 1,350 cc, producing increased horsepower and torque figures, with the new CamShaft technology.
The R model also features KTM’ s new premium electronics package, featuring an 8−inch touchscreen that gives riders access to ride modes and navigation.
The KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO will be available in March, and the 1390 Super Adventure R is expected to hit showroom floors in February.

upgrade. This is further enhanced by two new colorways, setting it apart from the rest of the range. Sitting between lightweight agility and performance, its single-cylinder engine makes the Duke 250 a standout choice for riders looking to step up in displacement.
KTM 390 DUKE KTM calls its 390 Duke“ the ultimate allround lightweight naked, fusing everyday practicality with impressive performance.” Equipped with a single-cylinder engine, premium technology, and performancefocused ergonomics, it strives to give a big-bike feel in an agile, accessible package. For 2026, that gets further enhanced with an all-new WP FCR4 brake caliper for improved stopping performance, as well as two new colorways.
KTM 990 DUKE AND DUKE R The KTM 990 Duke hits the midweight segment with parallel-twin power, sharp design, and advanced rider technology. Designed for ultimate road performance, it represents next-generation Duke DNA and a step forward in responsiveness and ride dynamics.
The KTM 990 Duke R features an 8.8−inch touchscreen TFT with offline map navigation, increased power figures, Brembo brakes, and fully adjustable WP APEX suspension with linkage at the rear. This also makes it the most performance-focused expression of the new platform, offering track-inspired performance in a street-ready chassis.
KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO KTM rounds out the range with the 1390 Super Duke R Evo, a bike with hyper-naked performance power, advanced aerodynamics, and the latest chassis engineering. It brings semi-active suspension, cornering ABS, and all-new rider aids.
The 2026 KTM 250 Duke, 390 Duke, and 990 Duke will be available at authorized KTM dealers in spring 2026. The 2026 KTM 990 Duke R and 1390 Super Duke R Evo are at dealers now.
