KTM Duke 790 price revealed – Less than double the price of Duke 390

EICMA 2016 showcased the KTM 90 Duke concept,The Scalpel. EICMA 2017 gave us production ready bike. Naked, agile, and power being key components, here’s a CroMo steel chassis worked with the LC8c twin engine to churn out 105hp and 63.4lbft. The 790 Adventure R too uses the same engine.

Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with help from an anti-hopping clutch, the quickshifter allows for responsive up and down-shifts. Official price of the new KTM Duke 790 starts from £8,199 (INR 7 lakhs) for A2 license holders and £8,499 (INR 7.3 lakhs) for others.

This means, price of the new Duke 790 is less than double the price of KTM Duke 390, which is priced at £4,699 (INR 4.04 lakh) in the UK. Considering that the Duke 790 could be made in India, just like the Duke 390, in India it could effectively be launched at a price tag in the region of INR 5-6 lakh.

Speaking about Duke 790 rivals, it competes with Suzuki GSX-S750 (95 hp, £7,599), Yamaha MT-09 (116 hp,
£7,799), Kawasaki Z900 (125 hp, £8,249), and Triumph Street Triple (113 hp, £8,000).

799cc going on four ride modes (Sport, Street, Rain, Track) is just the beginning. ABS, traction control, Motor Slip Regulation (MSR), and ride-by-wire system helps control power through acceleration, and deceleration. You’re going to have to wait till 2018 to get your hands on the all new KTM Duke 790. Until then, here’s a KTM Duke 790 Photo Feature.
