Already recognized as the most radical Sport Tourer in the category with its LC8 V-twin engine, the 2025 model takes that benchmark and smashes it to pieces.
More powerful, lighter in weight, and arriving as the most technically-advanced bike in its market segment, incredible dynamism is firmly positioned at its core.
For riders in search of a bike that manages the balance between a wild riding experience and the ultimate in sport touring comfortability, look no further. Simply call it, ADRENALINE EXPRESS.
ADJUSTABILITY
The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT's latest generation WP Semi Active Technology (SAT) suspension is electronically controlled and settings can be cleverly altered through the dashboard of the bike - including multiple standard modes for riders to select their desired feeling. Configurable Ride Modes are also highly intuitive, improving both performance and safety. In addition, the hydraulic clutch and brake levers are both fully adjustable, while the shift and rear brake lever fully adjustable by excenter. On top of that, find your ultimate comfort via adjustable handlebars, which can be set between 22mm locations front and rear. Dial it in to meet your demands and hit the road!
TFT DISPLAY & CONNECTIVITY
An intuitive new design that boasts immense connectivity - a new 8.88-inch TFT (H88) touchscreen has been introduced, highlighted by an abbreviated, easier to use menu structure that riders will appreciate. From enhanced safety features to premium functionally and improved readability, a READY TO RACE experience is available at the rider's fingertips. It's complete with USB-C phone charging, as well as the KTMconnect smartphone app can be connected via Bluetooth - inclusive of critical navigation features.
BODYWORK
After going to work on every single angle of the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT, the result is clear - a pure, sophisticated Sport Tourer with superior ergonomics. Its stance is more muscular and aggressive than ever before, where function was the main priority for the rider. A lower profile and an emphasized, more compact, chassis quickly establishes its positioning as a bike that can do it all, from track days to endless hours on the open road.
LED HEADLIGHT
The headlight design has been evolved, more aggressive, and with purposeful intent. Now inclusive of two central LED light units that operate both Low and High beam, riders will benefit from a larger field of view up to 90 degrees, and better near field illumination. Its signature daytime running light (DRL) automatically adjusts in intensity, while redeveloped LED cornering lights add to the effect. Add in the new headlight animation with a Start-up LED sequence and a Coming Home Light, and the technology is on a whole new level.
ENGINE
Sharing the same engine as the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO, with a torquey, powerful, exciting character that the latest version of the LC8 engine produces, instant performance is at the ready. With an engine displacement of 1350 cc, power and torque has been increased throughout the range - all of which you can immediately feel at a twist of the quick turn throttle. Cooling, optimisation, and performance have each been built upon, whole serviceability wasn't overlooked, with increased service intervals doubled to 60,000 km (up from 30,000 km).
RIDE MODES
From the standard Rain, Street and Sport modes, as well as new concept of optional Custom and Track configurations, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT screams personalization. The modes have been completely reworked and provide even greater feedback to the rider, and the good news is that traction control is less intrusive across the board, plus anti-wheeling is silky-smooth. Each mode results in its own dynamic character, which puts you in total control.
TRACK MODE
Inclusive of an optional Performance setting, Track Mode offers improved readability of the dash - courtesy of enlarged data and icons - and removes the need for secondary information. Launch Control comes into play, Anti-wheelie can be toggled off, and cruise control functionality are pushed aside. The end result? Riders can solely keep their focus on the pure essence of speed.
MAP NAVIGATION
When taking to the open road, riders deserve the ultimate in navigation and that's precisely what the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT delivers. From A to B Route Planning, to Active Guidance, and a Map View, navigation comes effortless, customizable for your needs and also featuring a customer default settings menu to add to the experience.
EGONOMICS
As a super-fast street bike built to lead the Sport Tourer segment, while still being highly capable on track, there is no denying that the bar has been raised. With performance the target, aggressive riding styles are accommodated. But there is no sacrificing on exceptional comfort, with the handlebars able to be rotated forward for a more upright riding position, and also including a windshield that can be set to a high and low positions to further enhance its sporty, touring-focused purpose.
SEAT
Performance-focused, but still comfortable for all-day riding, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R is designed to be track-capable one second, and a real-world passenger motorcycle the next. For that reason, the seat is made to be ultimately usable in all scenarios. At 834 mm, it's the perfect height for aggressive track work, but low enough to provide easy access and comfort. The pillion seat wasn't forgotten here either, making it equally as comfortable for longer rides.
FOOTPEGS
When it comes to Sports Touring, footpeg placement is key. And in the case of the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT, lean angle clearance has also been largely considered for when the pace heats up. Road or track, comfort and attack modes have each been catered for.
SWINGARM
Equipped with a braced single-sided swingarm, it provides minimal weight, while offering exceptional torsional and axial stiffness. It's largely unchanged in comparison to the previous model, but continues to promote lean angle stability and feedback from the rear wheel. Plus, the swingarm pivot's position has been designed for a neutral anti-squat behavior, which adds balance under acceleration.
FORK
The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT is fitted with WP APEX Semi Active Technology (SAT), which is the most advanced suspension system on the market. Its WP APEX SAT fork features a new patented thru-rod construction, significantly lighter than the previous generation SAT fork and utilizing an Open Cartridge design. What the rider will feel is an excellent, more precise and consistent behavior, which boosts confidence and meets the demands of even the most experienced riders.
REAR SHOCK
Inclusive of electronically controlled damping and hydraulic pre-load adjuster, the WP APEX SAT shock's design benefits from Dual Compression Control (DCC), which has a semi-active valve. This KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT-specific valve has an increased focus on performance, and an upgraded sensor measures travel and acceleration to ensure precise valve actuation. Its geometry is adjustable via pre-load, adding to the customization at hand. More advanced, highly developed, and better performing than anything of its kind.
WHEELS AND TIRES
Lightweight and with a clever design process to achieve optimal strength/stiffness, the rims carryover for 2025 while continuing to excel, however, new Michelin Power 6 tires - 120/70-ZR17 on the front and 190/55-ZR17 on the rear - are 1,2 kg lighter than the previous specification. Featuring a dual compound technology and offering enhanced straight line/cornering grip, the improvements are clear.
BRAKES
An updated Brembo braking system is a popular new addition to the 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE GT's, headlined by a brake cylinder that is self-venting and no longer requires brake bleeding. Four-piston Brembo Stylema monoblock calipers with 320 mm floating discs can be found at the front, with a twin piston floating caliper and a 240 mm disc at the rear. A new MCS (multi-click-system) hand brake lever increases adjustability, with the system complemented by Cornering ABS and Supermoto ABS, as well as new Supermoto+ ABS and Sport ABS modes. Performance and safety - again - are paramount.
FRAME
With handling at a premium, the engine assists in elevating torsional stiffness, which is now 3 x higher than the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT. Along with a lower center of gravity and the goal of refining the connection between the frame, swingarm, triple clamps, and fork, precision has increased and front tire feedback is better than ever before. Stability has risen, and balance between comfort and racing the clock on track has been optimized.
