KTM has introduced the All-New 990 Duke at EICMA 2023. It will compete with other litre-class naked motorcycles. The new motorcycle will sit above the 890 DUKE GP in the lineup. The 990 Duke will be produced at KTM's main plant in Mattinghofen, Austria.

As of now, KTM has no plans to launch the 990 Duke in the Indian market. Come, let us know about all its details.

Powering the 2024 KTM 990 Duke is a new LC8c engine, which is Euro 5+ compliant. This is a 947 cc, parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine.

This powertrain produces a maximum power of 121 bhp at 9,500 rpm and a peak torque output of 103 Nm at 6,750 rpm.

It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and the rider can also opt for a quick-shifter.

The KTM 990 Duke has been developed around an entirely new steel tube frame. The subframe is an aluminum diecast part, with an integrated airbox and air intake under the seat.

Additionally, the swingarm is also new and is made of triple-clamp forged aluminum. The 990 Duke's wheels are 17 inches from the 1290 Super Duke R, but slightly updated to include a two-way swingarm. These are provided with Bridgestone S22 tires as standard.

The frame is suspended by 43mm WP Apex open cartridge forks at the front, with 140mm of travel.

It comes with compression and rebound adjustment which can be done through clickers on the top of the forks.

At the rear, there's a WP Apex mono-shock, which can be adjusted via a 5-click setting for rebound and manual preload adjustment.

Regarding the features, the 990 Duke is equipped with LED lighting, a USB Type C charger, and a 5-inch colored TFT screen. It has five riding modes. These include Rain, Street, Sport, Performance, and Track modes.
