KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Unveiled: ‘Beast Mode’ and Track-Focused Upgrades

KTM has revealed the new KTM 1390 Super Duke RR, a limited-edition model designed for riders who want a more focused and performance-oriented machine. This version sits above the standard Super Duke R and will be limited to just 350 units globally.

The 2026 Super Duke RR is built to be lighter and sharper. It is 11kg lighter than the standard model, which should improve handling, braking, and overall agility. The chassis has also been updated to offer a more direct and stable riding experience, especially at higher speeds or on track.

At the heart of the motorcycle is a 1,350cc LC8 V-twin engine producing 188bhp and 145Nm of torque. KTM has introduced its CAMSHIFT technology, which helps improve combustion and performance across different rev ranges. The bike also comes equipped with a titanium Akrapovic exhaust, enhancing both performance and sound.

One of the key highlights is the introduction of the new ‘Beast Mode’, along with a range of electronic features. The bike gets an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen display that includes a lap timer, telemetry data, and multiple riding modes. All Tech Pack features are available as standard, making it one of the most advanced KTM motorcycles so far.

The suspension setup includes WP Pro Components inspired by MotoGP technology, offering high adjustability. It also features forged wheels, Michelin Power GP tyres, and Brembo front brake callipers for strong braking performance.

In terms of design, the motorcycle gets winglets for added downforce, a revised headlamp, and updated styling, giving it a distinct identity over the standard version.

Overall, the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR is built for enthusiasts looking for a track-ready yet road-legal performance bike.
