KTM has unveiled the production version of the next-generation "2027 790 Duke" in an official video. The 799cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin LC8c produces 95PS and 87Nm, with a curb weight of 185kg. It gets a new-generation face with a single projector headlight and split DRLs, plus a redesigned tank, side panels, and exhaust.

For the new 790 DUKE, I was already glued to every fleeting cut in the promo, trying to squeeze out information. 799cc LC8c, 95PS, 87Nm, and 185kg of lightness. The new face with a single-projector headlight and split DRLs is good too. Meeting regulations with a bigger muffler while preserving character — that balance is irresistible. I want to line up the entire spec sheet against the old model as soon as possible.

Isn't 95PS a drop from before? Feels like Euro 5+ took the bite out of it.

At 185kg it should be manageable to handle and workable for commuting too. That kind of lightness on a naked bike is welcome.

The old 790 was famous for jerky throttle-by-wire. If that's fixed, credit where it's due.

185kg is exactly right. This is definitely the kind that flicks through mountain passes with ease, guaranteed fun.

How does it compare against Triumph's Trident? Feels like it can't beat that triple's feel.

799cc, 95PS, 185kg. The power-to-weight ratio's genuinely solid.

Not just the bike itself, but KTM's consumables and labor costs are quietly expensive. Questionable whether the running costs match up to 95PS.
