KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo has been unveiled with a powerful 1,350cc V-twin engine producing 187hp and 145Nm of torque.
The new 2027 sport-touring motorcycle brings several major upgrades, including an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), semi-active suspension and an advanced touchscreen display.
Unveiled at EICMA 2026, the new motorcycle combines the performance of KTM’s Super Duke series with features designed for long-distance touring.
The company is expected to introduce it in international markets in early 2027.
However, KTM has not yet confirmed its India launch date or pricing.
KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo Engine and Performance
The new KTM motorcycle uses a 1,350cc, liquid-cooled LC8 V-twin engine. It produces 187hp of maximum power and 145Nm of peak torque.
The engine is housed in a steel trellis frame and is paired with a single-sided swingarm.
KTM has also introduced lighter 17-inch wheels at both ends, reducing their weight by approximately 1.2kg compared with the standard Super Duke GT.
The motorcycle comes fitted with Michelin Power 6 tyres, measuring 120/70 at the front and 190/55 at the rear.
In terms of dimensions and weight, the bike weighs 213kg without fuel and has a seat height of 834mm.
These specifications position it as a high-performance sport-tourer designed for riders who want strong acceleration along with long-distance comfort.
New AMT Gearbox Offers Automatic and Manual Modes
One of the biggest highlights of the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is its Automated Manual Transmission.
The AMT system allows riders to choose between automatic and manual gear-shifting modes. In automatic mode, the motorcycle manages gear changes without requiring conventional clutch operation.
Riders who prefer more control can also select gears manually using the foot lever or handlebar controls.
The transmission technology was previously introduced on the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo.
Its addition to the Super Duke GT Evo brings greater convenience, particularly during long-distance journeys and changing traffic conditions.
The combination of a powerful V-twin engine and automated shifting is intended to deliver both performance and ease of use.
Upgraded WP Semi-Active Suspension and Brembo Brakes
KTM has equipped the new motorcycle with WP Apex Semi-Active Technology suspension.
At the front, it gets a new 48mm semi-active fork featuring a patented thru-rod design. According to KTM, this arrangement helps reduce weight while improving suspension response and front-wheel feedback.
The rear suspension uses a linked monoshock with electronically adjustable damping and hydraulic preload adjustment.
Braking performance is handled by Brembo Stylema four-piston monobloc callipers with twin 320mm discs at the front. The rear gets a two-piston calliper paired with a 240mm disc.
The motorcycle also features adjustable clutch and brake levers, gear shifter and rear brake pedal. These adjustments allow riders to customise the controls according to their preferences.
8.8-Inch Touchscreen and Advanced Features
The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo receives an 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen display that provides access to motorcycle settings and navigation.
One of its important features is onboard offline map navigation. This allows riders to access navigation information without depending on a continuous internet connection.
The electronics package includes multiple riding modes, traction control, a quickshifter and ABS. The motorcycle also gets cornering lights, daytime running lights and a redesigned LED headlamp.
A USB Type-C charging port is included for charging compatible devices during journeys.
These features make the new motorcycle more suitable for touring, where navigation, lighting and rider convenience are particularly important.
Touring Features and Rider Comfort
Apart from engine and technology upgrades, KTM has made several changes to improve long-distance riding comfort.
The motorcycle gets an adjustable windscreen and repositionable handlebars. The rider and passenger seats have also been redesigned.
The handlebar position can be adjusted to suit different riding preferences, while the windscreen offers two height settings.
The revised seating arrangement and electronically controlled suspension are intended to make longer journeys more comfortable.
With its combination of performance components and touring equipment, the Evo variant aims to offer a different experience from the more road-focused Super Duke models.
 KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo India Launch and Price
KTM is expected to bring the 1390 Super Duke GT Evo to international dealerships in early 2027. However, the company has not announced its official price.
There is also no confirmed India launch date or India-specific pricing at present.
KTM already sells premium motorcycles in India, including models from its Super Duke range.
However, the company has not confirmed whether the new GT Evo will become part of its Indian lineup.
More details about its market availability and pricing are expected closer to its international launch.
For now, the 187hp engine, AMT gearbox, semi-active suspension and touring-focused upgrades make the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo an important addition to the company’s high-performance motorcycle range.
