KTM Unveils 990 Duke With New White, Black & Orange Livery: In Pictures

KTM 990 Duke: KTM has unveiled the 2026 version of the 990 Duke bike in the European market. Available at € 12,990 (approx. Rs 13.45 lakh), the updated KTM 990 Duke gets visual updates while keeping its mechanical components unchanged.

The biggest talking point is the introduction of a new white-black-orange colour scheme similar to the brand's older racing liveries. With its low-set headlamp, forward-canted stance, sculpted fuel tank, and upswept tail section, the bike looks quite aggressive.

Powering the 2026 KTM 990 Duke is the same 947cc twin-cylinder engine that delivers 122bhp and 103Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine is nestled within a steel trellis frame, suspended by fully adjustable WP Apex units. Twin 300mm front discs and a single 240mm rear disc, mounted on 17-inch cast aluminium alloy wheels, handle braking duties. 

The bike features a 5.0-inch TFT display, which manages launch control, traction control, and lean-sensitive ABS. The display is offered with optional KTMConnect for call alerts, navigation, and media controls. Riders can choose between three ride modes: Street, Sport, and Rain.

KTM hasn't yet confirmed the launch of the 990 Duke in India. But with Bajaj Auto taking full control of the financially-stricken KTM, there is a possibility that the model might arrive here as a competitively priced offering.
