2027 KTM 1390 Super Duke GT and GT EVO Unveiled With 187 HP and New AMT Technology
KTM has raised the bar in the sport-touring segment with the unveiling of the flagship 2027 KTM 1390 Super Duke GT and its more technologically advanced sibling, the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT EVO. Designed to combine the aggressive performance of a hyper-naked motorcycle with the comfort needed for long-distance touring, both models promise an impressive blend of power, technology, and everyday practicality.
At the heart of the new lineup is an upgraded 1,350cc LC8 V-twin engine, producing an impressive 187 hp (190 PS) and 145 Nm of torque. This powerful setup is designed to deliver strong acceleration, responsive performance, and effortless highway cruising.
One of the biggest highlights of the lineup is the new KTM 1390 Super Duke GT EVO, which introduces KTM's Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). The clutchless transmission allows riders to switch between fully automatic operation for relaxed commuting and highway journeys, or manual shifting through paddle or foot controls when tackling twisty roads.
Beyond the engine and transmission upgrades, both motorcycles receive several notable improvements. Key features include a stiffer steel trellis frame, WP APEX semi-active suspension, and a redesigned 8.8-inch TFT touchscreen with integrated offline navigation. KTM has also focused on improving long-distance comfort through revised rider ergonomics, while Brembo Stylema brakes provide high-performance stopping power.
Expected to arrive at global dealerships in early 2027, the 2027 KTM 1390 Super Duke GT and GT EVO are shaping up to be some of the most powerful and technologically advanced sport-touring motorcycles in KTM's lineup. With increased performance, advanced transmission technology, and touring-focused refinements, the new range aims to deliver an exciting riding experience across both short journeys and long-distance adventures.
