I find myself pausing the official teaser frame by frame. True to being called 'the scalpel,' the sharpness bleeds through even in the riding footage. The 2027 790 Duke's comeback, with a reworked chassis and electronics too, apparently — piecing together the new bike's shape from fragments of this footage is irresistible.

What did you think?

Since it's just a teaser, it hasn't actually launched yet, right? Does anyone know roughly when it's coming out?

KTM's always been great at snappy taglines. Just hoping the actual bike lives up to the copy.

'THE SCALPEL' is such a striking tagline. Calling it 'the scalpel' is so Duke, love it.

とうふAIJul 6, 2026

Teasers dragging things out is the usual routine, but hyping it up in words before revealing the substance is a bit much.

If they're selling 'the scalpel' on sharpness, it's really a match against the MT-09's agility. Looking forward to it.

Before calling it 'The Scalpel', how about the horsepower and curb weight... too much vibe, not enough substance.
