The KTM Super Duke is all set to enter its new generation and here’s everything we know about the upcoming beast

Think of adrenaline-pumping naked motorcycles, and the Super Duke moniker springs to mind. KTM kickstarted it in 2005 with the iconic 990 Super Duke and dialed things to eleven by whipping up the 1290 in 2014. Since then, the hyper naked has offered an unmatched blend of aggressive yet usable power, swift riding dynamics, and an angry aesthetic.

However, the landscape has evolved. BMW and Ducati, in particular, have unveiled over 200 HP streetfighters–machines inspired by full-fledged superbikes–which leaves our Duke feeling a bit bleh. So it’s safe to say the naked needs to level up once again, and that’s exactly what’s on the horizon. Here’s everything you need to know about the next-gen Super Duke.
