The 2025 KTM 790 Duke continues to dominate the streets with its sharp agility and powerful performance. Since its debut in 2018, the 790 Duke has become synonymous with precision, delivering an unmatched riding experience that blends razor-sharp handling with impressive top-end power. For 2025, KTM elevates this already formidable machine with refined tech, updated styling, and two brand-new colourways to appeal to a broader range of riders.
The 2025 model retains the core attributes that have made the 790 Duke a fan favourite — its light handling, agile steering, and eager performance. The geometry of the bike is optimised for sporty street riding, paired with a high-quality WP APEX suspension at both ends. This ensures a smooth yet responsive ride that’s perfect for both city streets and open highways.
A major upgrade for 2025 is the introduction of a new 5-inch TFT display, replacing the previous 4.5-inch screen. This upgrade brings a more intuitive interface and greater functionality, including KTM’s Demo Mode, a telemetry screen, and an optional Anti-wheelie Mode with six different settings. The improved switchgear offers tactile controls and enhanced illumination for low-light riding, making it easier to operate in all conditions.
The 790 Duke also continues to offer multiple ride modes such as Rain, Street, and Sport, with Track and Performance modes available for even more customization. The new Track mode offers ten levels of traction control, allowing riders to dial in their cornering and throttle control for the most demanding track days.
Aesthetically, the 2025 model keeps the Duke’s aggressive naked styling with minor updates, including a sharper headlight cover. Riders can also personalise their bike with a full range of KTM PowerParts for a truly unique look. There’s a slim chance of it making its way to Indian shores anytime soon, but let’s wait and see.
