KTM Introduces Limited-Run 1390 Super Duke RR With MotoGP-Derived Tech

KTM has unveiled the 2026 1390 Super Duke RR globally, positioning it as the flagship of its street motorcycle lineup and the most extreme iteration of its hypernaked platform.

Developed in Austria, the new model builds on the 1390 Super Duke R while reducing overall weight by 11 kg. The lighter construction, combined with a stiffer chassis, is aimed at improving agility, responsiveness and stability, both on the road and track.

The motorcycle makes extensive use of carbon-fibre components to achieve weight savings and enhance its race-inspired design. It is equipped with WP Pro Components suspension derived from MotoGP technology, offering high levels of adjustability and performance. Forged wheels and Michelin Power GP tyres further contribute to grip and handling capabilities, while Brembo HyPure Sport brake calipers handle braking duties.

Power comes from a 1350 cc LC8 V-twin engine producing 188 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. The engine incorporates CAMSHIFT technology to optimise performance across the rev range and is paired with a titanium Akrapovič slip-on exhaust.

On the technology front, the 1390 Super Duke RR features a comprehensive electronics package, with all Tech Pack features included as standard. It introduces a new 8.8-inch TFT display with track-focused functions such as lap timing and telemetry, along with a dedicated riding mode.

Design updates include aerodynamic winglets to improve downforce and reduce front-wheel lift, along with a revised headlamp and distinct styling elements.

The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR will be produced in limited numbers, with just 350 units planned globally. Its India launch is quite unlikely since KTM doesn’t sell its litre-class superbikes in the country.
