Date:

One of the most highly anticipated motorcycles of the year, the KTM 790 Duke is all set to be launched tomorrow on 23rd September 2019 in Indian and the all-new middleweight naked will be KTM India’s largest offering yet.

The KTM 790 Duke is expected to arrive in India as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) unit, owing to which the prices are expected to be tucked under Rs 8.5 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new naked beast is powered by a 799 cc parallel-twin motor which sits in a Trellis frame and is tuned to churn out 105 bhp and 86 Nm of peak torque. This is mated with a 6-speed gearbox. It is noteworthy that the 790 Duke weighs just 189 kg, which gives at excellent power-to-weight ratio of 612 bhp per tonne. The bike comes with a slipper clutch and a two-way quick shifter, while the electronic aids list is extensive and including lean sensitive cornering ABS, three mode traction control, four riding modes – Street, Track, Rain, and Supermoto. There’s also wheelie control, launch control, LED headlamp and a TFT instrument console.

The suspension set-up includes a WP-sourced USD forks up front and a monoshock at the rear, while braking performance comes from 300 mm dual front discs and a 240 mm single disc, with calipers sourced from J.Juan. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Maxxis Supermaxx ST tyres.
