New KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo Debuts – AMT, 8.8-inch TFT, Offline Sat-Nav

As compared to the street- and track-focused 1390 Super Duke, the new GT Evo is specifically designed for long-distance, high-speed sport touring

KTM has unveiled the all-new 1390 Super Duke GT Evo at EICMA 2026, which is positioned above the standard 1390 Super Duke GT. The new model gets a range of exclusive features, while borrowing the 1,350 cc LC8 V-twin engine platform from the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo will go on sale across global markets in early 2027. Whether it will make its way to India remains to be seen.

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo – AMT transmission

Engineered for sport-touring, KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo gets an advanced AMT transmission. What’s even better is that users have the option to choose between fully automated operation or manual shifting. The latter may be preferred by experienced riders or in specific scenarios where more responsive feedback and greater manual control are needed.

With the AMT active, users don’t need to shift gears, making long distance sport-touring a lot less tiring. KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo uses a 1,350cc, 2-cylinder, V 75° engine, which is the same as in use with 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. It generates 187 hp and 145 Nm of peak torque.

Comfort, safety over long distances

KTM has introduced new features with the 1390 Super Duke GT Evo to enhance rider comfort and safety. For context, a more upright riding stance is possible with the forward-adjustable handlebars. Similarly, the windshield can be adjusted to low and high positions, as per requirement. The bike has a seat height of 834 mm. It weighs 213 kg and has 149 mm of ground clearance.

Latest-gen electronically-controlled WP Semi Active Technology (SAT) suspension has been used, with easy adjustability options via the dashboard. This suspension setup uses a new patented thru-rod construction, making it lighter than previous-gen versions. Riders benefit from a more precise and consistent response. Users can also adjust the hydraulic clutch and brake levers.

Frame stiffness has been improved and is now 3X higher than the standard model. Precision handling and front tyre feedback have been improved with more robust connections between the frame, forks, triple clamps and swingarm. The bike has enhanced stability and offers an optimized balance between comfort and sporty riding.

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo has 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in Michelin Power 6 tires. These are 120/70 at the front and 190/55 at the rear. The overall setup is 1.2 kg lighter and the tyres have special compounds that enhance straight line control and cornering grip. Braking setup comprises four-piston Brembo Stylema monoblock callipers with 320 mm floating discs at the front and a twin-piston floating calliper with a 240 mm disc at the rear.

Tech package, rider aids

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo gets an 8.8-inch TFT display with an easy menu structure. It has full offline onboard map navigation and a USB Type-C charging port. The bike uses a new LED headlight setup, which has better near field illumination and a larger field of view up to 90 degrees.

Users can choose from ride modes of Rain, Street, Sport and one Custom mode. An optional Track Mode is also available for users who may need it. Other key features include traction control, quickshifter, cornering ABS, Supermoto ABS, Supermoto+ ABS and Sport ABS modes. A new MCS (multi click system) hand brake lever has been used for enhanced adjustability.
