KTM has just unveiled the fire-breathing 1390 Super Duke R Evo in the global market. The Austrian powersports brand has a thing for putting “90” at the end of its model names, while at the same time having an obsession for making bigger and bigger engines each and every year. Prior to the launch of the 1390, KTM unveiled the 990 Duke, an evolution of the LC8c parallel-twin engine that hit the scene with the 790 Duke back in 2017.
With that being said, the 2024 1390 Super Duke R Evo is the culmination of 30 years of the Duke model range, and is by far the most powerful and technologically advanced iteration of the bike to date. We talked about the bike in extensive detail in a previous article, but if you missed that, here’s a quick rundown of what to expect from this new bike.
