The Revamped KTM 790 Duke: What’s New?
The much-anticipated 2025 KTM 790 Duke has finally arrived, sporting some impressive upgrades that are sure to excite fans and riders alike. This naked bike, now priced at £7999, is crafted to meet the stringent Euro5 emissions regulations while retaining the famous KTM spirit. With a powerful 799cc LC8c parallel twin engine, it delivers a remarkable 93.7bhp at 8000rpm. And hey, good news for new riders: it can be restricted to fit the A2 license requirement!
Electronics that Elevate Riding Experience
One of the standout features of this 2025 model is the introduction of a sleek five-inch TFT dash, reminiscent of the larger, previous generation 1290 V-twin models. This display not only enhances the bike’s aesthetics but also provides access to the innovative ‘demo mode,’ which allows riders to experience all optional tech extras over the first 1500km. After that, they can decide which upgrades they want to keep. KTM has certainly thought this through!
Enhanced Control and Customization
As with all modern KTM bikes, the 790 Duke doesn’t hold back on rider assistance systems. Featuring a six-stage anti-wheelie system and three standard riding modes, it ensures that every ride can be tailored to your preferences. The addition of backlit switchgear simplifies navigation through the onboard menus, making technology accessible without compromising the thrill of the ride. Produced in collaboration with CFMoto in China, the 2025 KTM 790 Duke represents a blend of innovation and performance that is hard to resist.
