Introducing the 2021 KTM 890 Duke R…

Still agile, but with more punch, the KTM 890 DUKE R takes all the things we love about the KTM 790 DUKE and turns it up to 11. This is a no-compromise mid-weight naked bike, equally at home on mountain roads as it is on the race track, delivering more power, more torque and more Dukeness than any parallel twin that has come before.

The KTM 890 DUKE R takes all the things we love about DUKE and pushes it to the absolute limit.

This is a no-compromise Naked bike, equally at home on mountain roads as it is on the race track.

Delivering a hammer-blow to the middleweight class, THE SUPER SCALPEL does exactly what it says on the box.

The KTM 890 DUKE R is razor sharp, delivering more power, more torque and more DUKENESS than any parallel twin that has come before.

The parallel twin powering the KTM 890 DUKE R engine has been worked into a fire-breathing, high performance midweight titan. It’s a powerhouse engineered to suit the aspirations of the most demanding street and track warriors.

With its reduced piston weight, increased bore and stroke, higher compression and raised RPM limit, the KTM 890 DUKE R churns out an impressive 121 hp and 99 Nm. A 20 % increase in rotating mass of the crankshaft has dramatically improved low-end and mid-range rpm, resulting in more responsive riding behavior and delivering a smoother engine at constant speed. This, alongside a lightweight exhaust system, cements the KTM 890 DUKE R on the top rung of the middleweight fight.

The KTM 890 DUKE R’s radical handling characteristics are thanks to the dynamic, loadbearing design of the tubular chassis, which allows it to carve through twisty tracks and mountain passes with extreme responsiveness.

The KTM 890 DUKE R has a simple philosophy when it comes to the chassis – be lighter with more stability and be able to push the lean angle without reducing agility. Thanks in part to adjustable WP APEX suspension front and rear, high-performance MICHELIN Powercup II tires and BREMBO brakes, the KTM 890 DUKE R has achieved just that.

The KTM 890 DUKE R casts an intimidating shadow thanks to its m enacing profile and ultra-sharp lines. In the metal, however, it’s obvious that this DUKE means business. Compact proportions, loud graphics and a bright orange frame are all unapologetically KTM ‘R’.
