KTM has unveiled the 2027 "790 Duke." Returning as an accessible, easy-to-handle middleweight street naked, it's positioned as a model aimed at a broader range of riders.
The 790 Duke is back — that news alone gets my heart racing. A middleweight naked packing the LC8c parallel-twin, with lightness and torque coexisting in a way I find irresistible. And that 'perfection of handling' theme too — a bike that makes me want to read the spec sheet line by line to see exactly what they refined compared to the old model.

What's the difference between the 790 and 890? Is the 790 better for beginners?
Different displacement and output. The mellower, more approachable one is the 790.
In the same class it's up against the MT-09 and Triumph's Trident.
That class is such a battleground, choosing is a fun kind of dilemma.
For a mid-size naked, the balance of price and running costs is everything. Comes down to what it's priced at.
Focusing on manageability suggests they leaned toward ease of riding over raw output.
The 790 Duke's back! The 890's nice too, but the 790's lightness hits just right.
