This press release has: 27 Images
KTM roars into model year 2026 with its Naked lineup, delivering raw performance for riders looking for full-scale, knock-out punch Hyper-Naked domination.
The 2026 range showcases bold design evolution, cutting-edge technology, and the unmistakable attitude that has defined the DUKE family for three decades. 

2026 KTM 990 DUKE*
The KTM 990 DUKE elevates the mid-weight segment with hard-hitting parallel-twin power, sharp design, and class-leading rider tech.

Compact, aggressive, and engineered for ultimate road performance, it represents next-generation DUKE DNA and a thrilling step forward in responsiveness and ride dynamics – bringing an all-new colorway to the battlefield. This model takes advantage of the KTM 4 Year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty, and will be available from February onwards. *Limited numbers only available in New Zealand.

2026 KTM 990 DUKE R
Engineered for riders who demand maximum precision, the KTM 990 DUKE R will feature an 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT with offline map navigation, 130 PS, 103 Nm, 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. This model takes advantage of the KTM 4 Year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty and will be available in Australia from February and New Zealand from March onwards.

2026 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R & KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO
At the peak of the lineup, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R and R EVO redefine hyper-naked performance with staggering power, advanced aerodynamics, and cutting-edge chassis engineering.

Already a proven formula, the aggressive design delivers unprecedented dominance, standing as the most extreme street iteration of “THE BEAST” to date, while the SUPER DUKE R EVO brings semi-active suspension, cornering ABS, and cutting-edge rider aids to the fore. These models take advantage of the KTM 4 Year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty and will be available in Australia and New Zealand from February onwards.

Last but not least, the 2026 KTM DUKE lineup will be completed by the most powerful BEASTs in the orange stable. “April changes everything. Two of the most extreme DUKE models in the history of KTM will hit harder than ever before! Sharper. Lighter. Meaner. Power that resets expectations, precision that hunts apexes, torque that could turn the world on its own axis. Watch this space!“, says Gareth Davidson, Product Marketing Manager Street.

Enhancing the new 2026 generation KTM DUKE line-up even further, a comprehensive range of KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear is specifically designed to fit the new DUKE range and its riders, providing performance, style, protection, and comfort.

The 2026 KTM DUKE models are available at authorised KTM dealers in Australia and New Zealand, from February 2026 onwards. For more news about the 2026 KTM NAKED model range, visit KTM.com or your nearest authorised KTM dealer.
