KTM 790 Duke 2027 – Test – a first look at KTM’s new naked. Full of features, shocking price

KTM 790 Duke 2027. KTM is pinning much of the responsibility for its comeback on this bike more than on any other. ‘Duke’ is a name of key importance in KTM’s history; the first KTM bike to feature ‘slick’ road tyres was called the Duke. It was the 790 Duke that marked the debut of the LC8c engine, which remains a cornerstone of KTM’s mid-range line-up to this day. The 2027 KTM 790 Duke takes a significant leap forward. It retains the same platform comprising the frame, engine and swingarm. Everything else has changed, offering top-class suspension and a riding feel that comes close to that of the 990. And the price? Well, find that out in Stefano Cordara’s video – he travelled to Austria to test it in advance for you. ⬇️ NAVIGATE THE VIDEO BY TOPIC ⬇️ 00:00 Introduction 01:21 What hasn’t changed: engine, frame, swingarm 02:32 How the ergonomics have changed: less like the 790, more like the 990 03:08 How the chassis has changed 03:52 Brakes: KTM makes these in-house too 04:47 When the KTM 790 Duke arrives and how much it costs 05:18 POV: dashboard and controls 11:04 Thoughts on the KTM 790 Duke’s ergonomics and chassis 18:12 Thoughts on the engine and price ___ Keep following us on all our social media channels: Instagram: https://bit.ly/IG_RED TikTok: https://bit.ly/TT_RED Facebook: https://bit.ly/FB_Red ___ Check out our website and stay up to date with all the latest news from the world of motorsport, cars and motorbikes: http://www.red-live.it/
