TARGET ACQUIRED LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS LED Headlight An all-new, lightweight LED headlight design adds to the KTM 990 DUKE's menacing look while turning night to day. With daytime running lights that automatically adjust in intensity according to the ambient light conditions, and automatic low leam that stays illuminated for a moment after the ride is done, not only do the LEDs on KTM 990 DUKE burn a hole into the darkness - they are smart too. 5-CLICK PRECISION Adjustability Precision and setup go hand-in-hand.

Simply select launch control, wind on the throttle, drop the clutch, and blast off the line. POWER HUNGRY Engine Of course, this isn't the first time the DUKE nameplate and 990 have been seen together. However, this machine is a completely different powerplant. Nestled into the all-new frame is a 990 cc LC8c parallel-twin engine pumping out asphalt-ripping power. Not only powerful, it is also the most compact twin in class, adding to the KTM 990 DUKE's nimble handling characteristics. More aggressive camshaft profiles and longer valve openings result in improved rideability, while a wider radiator with optimized airflow ensures things stay cool. A new exhaust system rounds off this powerhouse package. PICK YOUR POWER Ride Modes Configurable with up to 5 different ride modes, the KTM 990 DUKE is ready to dominate just about any eventuality. In the default STREET setting, riders have full power, traction control, and limited front wheel lift, with easy throttle response. SPORT steps the experience up with sharper throttle control and some wheel slip, while RAIN mode does what it says on the box, providing maximum traction and reduced power in wet conditions. The optional PERFORMANCE and TRACK modes crank the KTM 990 DUKE all the way to 11, providing enhanced rider customization and focused sport riding. FULL THROTTLE Track Mode Toggle the optional TRACK mode, and the KTM 990 DUKE goes from a no-holds-barred NAKED street motorcycle to an all-out apex-brawling race machine. TRACK mode allows you to take full control of rear wheel traction with a 10-level slip control, as well as the sharpest throttle response possible. Want more?
