KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo Unveiled With AMT Gearbox & Semi-Active Suspension

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo debuted at EICMA 2026 as a higher-spec sport-touring variant positioned above the standard 1390 Super Duke GT. It uses the 1,350cc V-twin from the 1390 Super Adventure S Evo.

The motorcycle reaches dealerships globally in early 2027, with availability varying by market. Its headline addition is KTM's Automated Manual Transmission, a system that debuted on that adventure tourer.

KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo: Engine & Other Mechanical Bits

The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo's liquid-cooled 1,350cc LC8 V-twin has a 75-degree cylinder layout and makes 187hp and 145Nm of torque. It sits in a steel trellis frame with a single-sided swingarm. The AMT offers fully automated gear changes or manual selection. In automatic mode the rider doesn't shift at all, and manual mode stays available for those who want more feedback and control.

Frame stiffness is three times higher than on the standard KTM 1390 Super Duke GT. Stronger connections between the frame, fork, triple clamps and swingarm sharpen handling precision and front-tyre feedback.

The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in Michelin Power 6 tyres in 120/70 front and 190/55 rear sizes. The wheel set is 1.2kg lighter than the standard Super Duke GT's.

Suspension is WP's latest semi-active setup. The 48mm Apex fork uses a patented thru-rod design that KTM says cuts weight and improves front-end feedback over the standard model, and settings can be changed through the dashboard.

At the rear, a linked monoshock has electronically adjustable damping and hydraulically controlled preload. Braking uses four-piston Brembo Stylema monoblock calipers on dual 320mm floating discs up front, with a two-piston floating caliper and 240mm disc at the back.

The windscreen has low and high positions, and the handlebar moves forward for a more upright stance. The clutch lever, gear shifter and rear brake pedal are fully adjustable, as is the multi click system brake lever, and both seats are redesigned.

The KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo weighs 213kg without fuel. Seat height is 834mm, and ground clearance is 149mm.

An 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen handles the menus and carries full offline onboard map navigation as standard. A USB Type-C charging port is also fitted. The GT Evo offers Rain, Street, Sport and Custom ride modes, with an optional Track mode. Other features include traction control, a quickshifter and cornering ABS, plus Supermoto, Supermoto+ and Sport ABS modes.

The LED headlight is redesigned for better near-field illumination and a field of view of up to 90 degrees. Cornering lights and DRLs complete the lighting package. KTM has previously sold the 1390 Super Duke R and 1290 Super Adventure S in India. An India launch for the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT Evo hasn't been confirmed.
