KTM has been making headlines lately, and it hasn’t exactly been for good reasons. Team Orange’s parent company, Pierer Mobility, has been working day and night to manage a PR nightmare—one that’s looking to be more of a reality than anyone ever thought.
And while it’s relieving that KTM isn’t going under just yet, the company’s definitely in no place to throw a party.
That being said, why don’t we pivot away from all the doom and gloom for a moment, and imagine a future where KTM has no worries? I mean, this is exactly what KTM’s doing, as they’ve just announced the 2025 790 Duke. After all, why cry when you can smoke—tires? Yeah, that’s exactly what the new 790 Duke’s doing, as it burns out straight into the 2025 model year.
The latest iteration of the original Scalpel: the 790 Duke is here, and in true KTM fashion, it's packing more tech than it probably should. Seriously, it’s as if KTM thought that slapping on extra tech and gadgets 80 percent of riders would never even use would fix their financial woes. Clearly, the goings on in the market seem to be pointing in the opposite direction.
Nevertheless, here we are, and for 2025, there’s a new 5-inch TFT display with all the bells and whistles: a telemetry screen, anti-wheelie settings (because who wants fun without control, right?), oh, and even a Demo Mode.
