KTM 790 Duke

The KTM 790 DUKE has a reputation. Not only is it known to be devastatingly accurate, with the unmatched agility you'd expect from a single, merged with the meaty punch of a twin, but for being a no-nonsense street-brawler. Boasting an uncompromised 799 cc LC8c parallel twin motor nestled into one of the lightest and most compact chassis around, the KTM 790 DUKE is all about being fast where it counts - in the corners.

Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 790 Duke delivers adrenaline-fuelled performance, razor-sharp handling, and cutting-edge technology—all packed into a compact, aggressive streetfighter.

At its heart lies a potent 799 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine delivering approximately 105 PS and 86 Nm of torque. Equipped with ride-by-wire throttle and ride-mode tuning (Road, Sport, Rain, and optional Track), it provides vibrant power delivery with a distinct twin-cylinder pulse and sharp mid-range punch.

The lightweight chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame balances agility and rigidity, creating a responsive and precise ride. Upside-down WP Apex suspension with adjustable fork and rear shock ensures confident handling and tuned comfort across varied terrain.

Braking duties are handled by dual 300 mm discs up front with Brembo four-piston radial calipers, while a 240 mm disc at the rear provides balanced stopping power. Cornering ABS and switchable traction control enhance safety and rider control without dampening performance.

With a dry weight of around 169 kg, a seat height near 825 mm, and an agile wheelbase, the 790 Duke remains both accessible and thrilling across rider levels.

Tech features include a full-color 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, gear indicator, ride-mode switch, and shift light. Cornering-enhanced traction control, lean-angle ABS, and optional Quickshifter+ elevate its electronics suite. LED lighting and sleek wire-spoke bodywork reflect KTM’s track-first design philosophy.

Aggressive styling—sharp LED headlights, sculpted tank, compact tail unit—signifies “The Scalpel’s” intent. Footpegs and handlebars offer a nimble, street-fighter posture, while the compact package delivers maximal presence and minimum bulk.

The KTM 790 Duke is a masterclass in mid-weight naked performance—raw, modern, responsive, and built to thrive on both urban streets and backroad blasts.
