KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO UPDATED FOR 2027

For 2027, THE BEAST returns with the same intense attitude that has defined KTM’s hyper naked motorcycle segment, but with a fresher visual identity and a focused array of technical updates that further enhance the connection between rider and machine.

The 2027 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO introduces two new colorways, an all-new 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen with Offline Map Navigation, revised switchgear, the latest generation RIDE Mode concept and new Brembo HyPure front brake calipers.

The result isn’t a reinvention of THE BEAST. It’s an evolution what matters.

TWO NEW SKINS.

For 2027, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO arrives in two distinctive new colorways, giving riders a choice between unmistakable KTM intensity and an even bolder interpretation of THE BEAST.

The Orange colorway puts KTM’s signature identity firmly in the spotlight, emphasizing the sharp lines and unmistakable SUPER DUKE silhouette.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Black colorway takes the dark side of THE BEAST further than before. A new fully blacked-out frame combined with the darker graphics create the most sinister-looking interpretation of the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO yet.

Beneath both colorways remains the unmistakable KTM SUPER DUKE R architecture and performance-led design philosophy. The changes for 2027 are intentionally focused, improving the motorcycle visually while bringing its rider interface and technology firmly up to date.

NEW 8.8-INCH TFT TOUCHSCREEN

Taking center stage for 2027 is an all-new 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen, significantly upgrading the interface between rider and motorcycle.

The bonded glass display provides improved readability together with increased scratch and glare resistance, while a reduced menu structure makes accessing key functions faster and more intuitive.

The touchscreen functionality is supported by new handlebar switchgear, giving riders the choice of controlling functions directly through the display or from the handlebar.

The result is a cleaner, more premium interface designed to keep the rider focused on what matters most: riding. It also incorporates a convenient USB-C charging port.

OFFLINE MAP NAVIGATION

Navigation is now integrated directly into THE BEAST.

Offline Map Navigation allows mapping data to be stored directly on the dashboard, removing the reliance on continuous mobile data while riding.

Route Planning, Active Guidance, Map View and curvy-road routing give riders the ability to select the journey that suits the plan, whether that means finding the quickest route through the city or deliberately choosing the longer curvy way home. The system supports downloadable map regions, countries or towns/cities directly on dashboard storage.

RIDE MODES. RETHOUGHT.

The 2027 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO also adopts the latest Ride Mode concept, bringing the rider interface and adjustability in line with the latest generation KTM SUPER DUKE platform.

The revised system places greater emphasis on personalization while making the available settings easier to access and understand through the new TFT interface and switchgear.
Rather than changing THE BEAST’s character, the objective is simple: give the rider greater control over how that character is delivered.

MORE BITE. BREMBO HYPURE.

Performance deserves stopping power to match.

For 2027, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO receives an upgrade upfront to include Brembo’s latest HyPure front brake calipers, further developing the braking package at the sharp end of THE BEAST.

Whether attacking braking markers on track or carving through demanding roads, the new hardware reinforces the SUPER DUKE R philosophy of putting serious performance directly in the hands of the rider.

SAT SUSPENSION

The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO continues to take THE BEAST concept one step further through electronically controlled suspension technology.

For 2027, it keeps the latest generation WP Semi-Active Technology suspension architecture found on the previous model, while importantly retaining the traditional manual gearbox as opposed to other EVO models across the KTM range.

The SAT system uses electronically controlled damping with real-time adaptation informed by suspension stroke sensors and the IMU, with suspension settings accessible directly through the dashboard.

This gives the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO the benefit of KTM’s most advanced semi-active suspension technology while maintaining the direct, mechanical connection of a conventional manual transmission.

KTM POWERPARTS

The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO can be customized beyond its high-performing base with a full range of KTM PowerParts that are available as READY TO RACE accessories, purposely crafted for the 2027 model.

KTM POWERWEAR

Dedicated KTM PowerWear has also been developed for SUPER DUKE riders, helping riders to look and feel the part. Resulting in increased confidence and with protection at its core, the options span far and wide.
