KTM has unveiled the new 1390 Super Duke GT Evo at EICMA 2026, bringing several upgrades to its high-performance sport-touring motorcycle. The new model sits above the standard 1390 Super Duke GT and comes with an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), updated WP semi-active suspension and a large 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen with offline navigation.
The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo uses a 1,350cc V-twin engine producing 187 hp and 145 Nm of torque. Along with its performance-focused hardware, KTM has worked on rider comfort, making the motorcycle better suited to long-distance highway journeys. International deliveries are expected to begin in early 2027.

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo Gets AMT Gearbox
One of the biggest changes on the new KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is its Automated Manual Transmission. This system offers both automatic and manual gear-shifting options, allowing riders to choose how they want to control the motorcycle.
In automatic mode, the transmission handles gear changes without requiring the rider to operate a conventional clutch lever. Riders can also select gears manually whenever they want more control. This setup should be particularly useful during long-distance rides and slow-moving traffic.
Power comes from a 1,350cc, liquid-cooled, 75-degree V-twin engine shared with the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. It produces 187 hp and 145 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a steel trellis frame and a single-sided swingarm.
WP Semi-Active Suspension and Touring Updates
KTM has equipped the 1390 Super Duke GT Evo with a new WP Apex semi-active suspension system. At the front, it gets a 48mm upside-down fork featuring a patented thru-rod design. KTM says this construction helps reduce weight while improving suspension response and front-end feedback.
At the rear, the motorcycle gets a linked monoshock with electronically adjustable damping and hydraulic preload adjustment. Riders can change suspension settings through the motorcycle’s dashboard.
For touring comfort, KTM has also revised the riding position. The motorcycle gets repositionable handlebars, an adjustable windscreen and redesigned rider and passenger seats. The clutch and brake levers, gear shifter and rear brake pedal are also adjustable.
The motorcycle rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in Michelin Power 6 tyres. The wheel setup is around 1.2kg lighter than the standard Super Duke GT.
8.8-Inch TFT Display With Offline Navigation
Another major addition to the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo is its 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen display. It comes with onboard offline map navigation, allowing riders to access maps without depending on an active internet connection.
The display also provides access to motorcycle settings and riding information. A USB Type-C charging port is included for charging compatible devices during journeys.
The electronics package includes Rain, Street, Sport and Custom riding modes, along with an optional Track Mode. Other features include traction control, quickshifter and multiple ABS settings.
KTM has also updated the lighting package with a redesigned LED headlight, daytime running lights and cornering lights. According to KTM, the revised headlight improves near-field illumination and provides a wider field of view.
Braking Setup, Weight and Other Details
Braking duties on the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo are handled by Brembo Stylema four-piston monobloc calipers at the front, working with dual 320mm discs. At the rear, it gets a two-piston caliper with a 240mm disc.
The motorcycle has a seat height of 834mm and weighs 213kg without fuel. It also gets a 19-litre fuel tank, making it suitable for longer highway journeys.
These changes give the Evo version a different focus compared to a conventional performance-focused naked motorcycle. It combines high engine output with touring equipment and electronic assistance.
KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo India Launch and Expected Price
KTM is expected to bring the 1390 Super Duke GT Evo to international dealerships in early 2027, although availability may differ between markets. The company has not announced its official price yet.
As far as India is concerned, KTM has not confirmed whether this motorcycle will be introduced in the country. The brand already sells premium motorcycles in India, including the 1390 Super Duke R, but the arrival of the GT Evo has not been confirmed.
More information about its market availability and pricing is expected closer to its international launch. For now, the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo remains an interesting new addition for riders looking for superbike-level performance with long-distance touring equipment.
