KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo: Expected Price, Key Highlights and India Launch Details
KTM has unveiled its new 1390 Super Duke GT Evo at EICMA 2026, introducing a more advanced version of its high-performance sport-tourer. The new motorcycle comes with several important upgrades, including an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), electronically controlled semi-active suspension and an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen with offline navigation.
Positioned above the standard 1390 Super Duke GT, the Evo variant combines the performance of KTM's powerful V-twin engine with additional comfort and technology for long-distance riding. The motorcycle is expected to reach international dealerships in early 2027, while its India launch remains unconfirmed.
KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo: Engine and Performance
The new KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is powered by a 1,350cc, liquid-cooled, 75-degree V-twin LC8 engine. It produces 187bhp of maximum power and 145Nm of peak torque.
The biggest highlight is its new AMT gearbox, which allows riders to choose between fully automatic and manual gear-shifting modes. This technology eliminates the need for conventional clutch operation, making long-distance journeys and heavy traffic riding more convenient.
Riders can also select gears manually whenever they want greater control over the motorcycle's performance.
Semi-Active Suspension and Chassis
KTM has equipped the motorcycle with the latest-generation WP APEX semi-active suspension system. It features a new 48mm front fork with a patented thru-rod design, which aims to reduce weight and improve damping response.
The rear suspension gets electronically adjustable damping and hydraulic preload adjustment. Riders can modify suspension settings through the instrument cluster.
The motorcycle also features a chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame and a single-sided swingarm. It weighs 213kg without fuel and has an 834mm seat height.
Features and Braking System
The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo gets an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen with offline navigation and a USB Type-C charging port. Other highlights include multiple riding modes, traction control, quickshifter, cornering ABS and an upgraded LED lighting setup.
For braking, it uses Brembo Stylema four-piston front callipers with twin 320mm discs and a 240mm rear disc.
The motorcycle also receives an adjustable windscreen, repositionable handlebars and redesigned seats to improve touring comfort. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin Power 6 tyres.
Launch Timeline and India Availability
KTM is expected to introduce the 1390 Super Duke GT Evo in international markets in early 2027. The company has not announced its official price or confirmed its India launch timeline.
With its powerful V-twin engine, new AMT gearbox and advanced semi-active suspension, the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo brings together performance, technology and touring comfort. It will be an interesting addition to KTM's premium motorcycle lineup when it reaches dealerships.
