KTM 390 Duke 2026 – When the topic is street performance bike, the name of the KTM 390 Duke comes into conversation on its own. This bike has always been for riders who want to have fun at every turn, not just A to B. In 2026, KTM made this “Corner Rocket” even more sharp. The KTM 390 Duke 2026, with new braking hardware, updated electronics and fresh color options, is now more aggressive and technology-loaded than before.
Engine & Performance
KTM 390 Duke 2026 features a 398.7cc LC4c single-cylinder engine, generating around 45–46 PS power and 39 Nm of torque. This engine is not just limited to figures, but feels equally energetic on the road.
The updated setup with a 6-speed gearbox gives it smooth and sharp shifting. This bike looks light and agile in city traffic. There is no compromise in performance despite updates according to Euro5+ Norms.
Electronics & Tech
Today’s performance bike is recognized not just by the engine, but also by electronics. The KTM 390 Duke 2026 features a 5-inch bonded glass TFT display, which provides navigation and connectivity support.
The most interesting feature is Launch Control, which is now given standard. On track or on signal, in starting it manages feature power correctly. Traction Control, Cornering ABS and other riding aids make it stronger in the premium entry-level segment.
Design
KTM 390 Duke has always been known for its sharp and aggressive design. The 2026 model offers color options such as the new Atlantic Blue and Electronic Orange, giving it a more fresh look.
Steel trellis frames and aluminum subframes also give it lightness with structural robustness. Its bodywork now looks more cut-sharp, giving it a distinct identity on the road.
Suspension
KTM has delivered WP APEX 43mm adjustable front forks in 390 Duke 2026. Preload-adjustable rear shock is found at the rear. This setup keeps the bike stable on fast turns and balances on bad roads as well. The light weight and compact dimensions of the duke vindicate the tag of “Corner Rocket”.
Braking
The biggest update to the 2026 model is its new WP FCR4 4-piston radial brake caliper setup. A large disk of 320mm is given at the front, which improves Fed resistance. This means that performance will not decline even after continuous hard braking.
A 240mm disc is given at the rear, which maintains the balance. Features like Cornering ABS and Supermoto ABS make it more safe. A sharp turn or a sudden brake Duke 390 is now better than ever.
