ktm duke tft display price made in china

The Voge 125R uses a 124cc, single-cylinder engine that churns out a decent 14bhp and 12Nm. This puts it in direct contention with the KTM 125 Duke which offers similar performance. In terms of features, the Voge 125R is kitted with dual-channel ABS, USB port, a colour TFT screen as well as full-LED lighting- all of which the KTM misses out on. That said, it is also a featherweight at 127kg compared to the 125 Duke’s 159kg while also offering a lower seat height of 795mm.

Now, the Voge 125R is clearly a well-equipped motorcycle however, it is unlikely to make its way to India anytime soon. But it will compete against the KTM 125 Duke and Honda CB125R in international markets.

The CFMoto 1250 TR-G is finally on the Chinese market, and boy, is it interesting. First off, it’s perhaps the most ambitious collaboration between KTM and its Chinese partners that we’ve seen yet. Second, it’s a pretty massive sport tourer, continuing China’s interest in a category that everyone else has pretty much forgotten.

The CFMoto 1250 TR-G uses a liquid-cooled 72-degree V-twin engine that’s derived from KTM’s LC8 engine. It reportedly makes 140 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 88.5 pound-feet of torque at 7,000 rpm. That’s much less jam than the latest-gen LC8, but it’s a massive upgrade from the old knock-offs of Japanese engines. It does follow in the same pattern, though, of tinkering with an established design.

CFMoto loaded this bike with modern electro-tech, though, including a 12.3-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, a tire pressure monitoring system, a sound system (equipped with JBL speakers), switchable engine maps, cruise control, cornering ABS, adjustable traction control—you name it. While not as high-spec as the latest Euro machinery, it’s not far behind, and probably on-par or superior to many Japanese-built bikes on the market.

Add it all up, and you’ve got a bike that’s barely a step below BMW’s latest sport tourers, at least on paper. Wild! Almost everyone has abandoned making a serious sport tourer, with the FJR1300 reportedly gone, and nothing else equivalent from Japan or Europe, with the exception of BMW’s RT and RS lines, and KTM’s Super Duke GT.

So, what about price? CFMoto’S Chinese price works out to roughly $15,000 USD, roughly 10 times the price the original China bikes fetched in the US. Will customers in North America or Europe buy at that point? Probably not, especially as CFMoto’s ATVs still have a sketchy reputation (perhaps unfairly) in the powersports community. Will the CFMoto 1250 TR-G sell in China? Most certainly, and with a billion domestic customers, who needs the west?

It’s an unusual move from KTM to revive a model which they have already superseded (with the 890 Adventure line-up) but the bigger news is this first major wholesale shipping of the model production to China.

The redesign is straight out of Mattighofen and they say, pretty high up the press information to make the point, that the process will be supervised by KTM staff on the ground in China. Transcontinental cooperation is not new for KTM and the main thrust of this new venture with CFMOTO is to feed motorcycles “directly into the furthest corners of the globe” they say.

There is no word on pricing of this model, you would hope it will arrive with a lower price tag having already been designed and tooled, and of course built in China.

The original 790 Adventure was a great bike of course, helping forge the then new trend for middleweight Adv bikes. For the 790’s comeback KTM say they wanted even more ‘rideability’ from the LC8c motor that pumps out 95hp at 8,000 rpm and 88Nm at 6,500 rpm but also tweaks that would meet the criteria for Euro 5 emissions targets – even if that claim or aim to reach “further corners of the globe” with this model makes EU emissions regs seem like a side issue.

The 2023 KTM 790 ADVENTURE is now more stable at constant speed and has gained more cornering poise thanks to a 20% increase of rotating mass; an alteration that hasn’t compromised the highly rated agility of the motorcycle.

This is one of the largest modifications to ensure this vibrant generation of the KTM 790 ADVENTURE will be an impeccable choice for moving in, around and then outside of the city limits. The 15,000 km service intervals remain in concrete.

The dependability of the KTM 790 ADVENTURE is hiked with the reworked Power Assist Slipper Clutch with new friction plates and the engine breathes freer with a new airbox.

The bike also benefits from the latest 6D sensor, otherwise known as the Inertia Management Unit, that can be found on larger KTM siblings like the KTM 890 ADVENTURE and KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE models. This sophisticated device informs the Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control and other aspects such as ABS, Motor Slip Regulation and the administration of Ride Modes. In terms of features the KTM 790 ADVENTURE holds very similar billing to its larger sibling: the KTM 890 ADVENTURE.

ABS programs now automatically switch between the Ride Modes, removing the need for more configuration. KTM has installed an innovative ‘DEMO’ function on the 2023 KTM 790 ADVENTURE; owners can trial the full slew of optional riding extras for the first 1,500 km before deciding which settings they’d like to purchase and keep.

A 20-liter tank and potential 450 km fuel economy broadens the horizons of even the hardest adventure rider. For all the time spent in the comfy 2-piece saddle (which can be swapped and augmented through KTM’s PowerParts assortment for single or heated units) the 2023 KTM 790 ADVENTURE provides even more concessions to the eager traveler.

The lights are full LED sets and the dashboard view is brighter and better with the 5” TFT reacting to ambient lighting and utilizing a redesigned menu system of new infographics for faster and easier customization. Syncing the KTMConnect App will now lead to even more beneficial navigational and travel options, such as profiling the ‘top ten’ calls and contacts and adjusting the parameters of turn-by-turn guidance on the go.

As with the forerunner to the 2023 edition, the KTM PowerParts range is plush with KTM 790 ADVENTURE components for protection or aesthetic add-ons. Owners won’t have to consider extra defense against hits and dents to the front of the bike however thanks to the light aluminum engine protector, fitted as standard. The plastics (injected molded with graphics for more resistance) have also been reshaped to guard the tank and seat against unwanted knocks.

The CFMOTO 800MT is based around the 799cc LC8c parallel twin that came from KTM. This is a result of their partnership (see below). It’s a cracker of an engine, making (in the 800MT) 70 kW or 95 hp, and with a lot of character from its 285 degree crankshaft, helping it mimic the delivery of KTM’s V-twins.

The CFMOTO 800MT Touring comes with fully adjustable KYB suspension, a quickshifter, a big TFT screen, fog lights, radial-mounted J.Juan brakes with Cornering ABS as standard, and so much more. On other brands’ bikes, these are usually expensive add-ons.

The engine is based on the KTM LC8 V-twin that first appeared in the RC8 superbike. Of course it’s detuned and made more suitable for a long-distance tourer.

The bike has a ton of high-spec gear, like semi-active WP electronic suspension, big 12.3 inch TFT display, Brembo radial-mounted calipers, and cornering ABS. It even has a multimedia sound system.

The significant phase of the partnership started in 2014 when KTM started manufacturing KTM 200 and 390 Dukes for KTM in China. They’re sold under the CFMOTO KTMR2R brand. (For global markets KTM partners with Bajaj in India to manufacture its 390 Duke and RC 390 for international audiences. And the new 2022 KTM RC 390 has some amazing specs!)

As part of the CFMOTO KTMR2R partnership, KTM transferred manufacturing of the parallel twin 799cc LC8c models (including the 790 Duke and 790 Adventure) to China from 2020.

KTM is also transferring technology for the LC8 V-twin engine, including the 990 and 1080 V-Twin models. The first fruit of this, interestingly, is a 1279cc LC8-derived engine, to power the 1250 TR-G tourer. It makes 105 kW or 140 bhp.

Over the past year, anticipation over the KTM 790 Duke’s India arrival grew to a fever pitch, but the launch announcement of its introductory 8.64 lakh price tag (ex-showroom) certainly put a dampener on the proceedings. After all, we simply expect KTM to offer exceptional pricing in our market. Nevertheless, this is a KTM, so game-changing price or not, the 790 Duke is bound to be one intense ride. Question is, will it be special enough to justify the price?

There’s reason to believe that it will the moment you take a look at it, because the 790 Duke looks incredibly purposeful in its presence and stance. KTM wants this bike to be the lightest, most precise tool in the box; and the design reflects this through its completely minimal clothing. Whatever body panels the bike does wear look lethal sharp and things like the tall fuel tank, edgy extensions, upswept exhaust and chunky swingarm add heaps of character. At the same time, the rear looks quite bland and I wish the 390-style LED headlight and mirrors had their own identity. Still, the overall effect carries the trademark KTM-style aggression and quality levels are quite good as well, especially in areas like the TFT display and the adjustable brake levers, both different from the 390 Duke.

It isn’t easy to get an 800cc motorcycle to feel this svelte around the waist, and KTM has made a couple of very interesting decisions to achieve this – starting with the frame. The 790 doesn’t use a trellis frame, which is something you’ll see on almost every road-going KTM and even their MotoGP bike. The frame is still built out of tubular steel, but it"s a smaller, seemingly simpler unit with two spars on top and it uses the engine as a stressed member. The result is a main frame that weighs just 8.8kg, while the smart-looking aluminium subframe is just 1.7kg per side.

The 790 also stands out, being the first-ever KTM to use a parallel-twin motor – another decision taken for size and packaging advantages, as well as price advantages over V-twin motors. Parallel twins also have the advantage of being cheaper to both produce and maintain. This 8-valve DOHC motor displaces 799cc and runs a high compression ratio of 12.7:1 which helps it put out 105hp and 87Nm of torque. The bike"s power figure is the lowest in its segment, but the torque figure is almost class-leading and that’s what defines the riding experience.

When it comes to character, KTM has gone down the increasingly popular path of using an uneven firing order to give the engine a more textured sound and feel that is quite reminiscent of its V-twins. The result is a loud, angry and quite likeable beat from the exhaust. The motor is much smoother than the sound would have you believe, and vibration levels are very well-controlled, thanks to the use of two balancer shafts. From some brief slow-speed riding in the pit lane, it also seems quite content to ride quite smoothly at low revs, especially in Rain mode. There are four riding modes in total, and Rain offers a 2 percent drop in power with very mellow responses, while Street Sport and Track offer increasing levels of throttle aggression as you go up.

But as much of a joy this engine is, it"s the chassis that is the real star. The bike feels far more compact than any of its rivals and the sense of lightness and agility is amazing. With a kerb weight of about 187kg, the 790 Duke is on par with the Street Triple as the lightest in class on paper, but it feels noticeably lighter when you’re actually riding the bike.

The WP suspension offers only pre-load adjustment for the rear shock – which is a bit disappointing, but the set-up is very nicely balanced. The bike feels confident and well-damped, but neither end comes across as too stiff. It should be decently pliant on the street, but on track, the 790 is such an enjoyable toy. None of its rivals feel this effortless, and I can’t remember the last time I got my knee down so easily on a motorcycle. At the same time, it doesn’t quite pack superbike levels of suspension, brake and tyre sophistication, as something like the Triumph Street Triple RS would – we’ll have to wait for a 790 Duke R for that.

The next trick would be the electronics package and you simply won’t find a more comprehensive or sophisticated set of assists on any motorcycle at this price. The first three riding modes are preset, but Track mode allows you plenty of customisation. Within the mode, you can tweak the throttle response (I found "Track" too sharp, but "Sport" worked nicely) and disengage the wheelie control, making first-gear power wheelies a regular affair. There’s even a launch control system, although this becomes active only after the bike crosses the first 1,000km, so we couldn’t try that out on the fresh machines we had to ride. What I liked most is that you can shift between 9 levels of traction control in track mode using just the up/down arrow buttons on the handlebar, even when on the move. There’s also a bi-directional quickshifter which works quite well and the 790 also uses an IMU, so the traction control system is corner-sensitive, as is the ABS. If you like, the rear ABS can be deactivated, but the entire system can’t be turned off.

While it’s a proper little thriller on the track, the 790 is primarily a street bike and there are several suggestions that it might make for a very nice one, even on our roads. The turning radius is quite tight, the clutch is light and the engine’s low speed manners seem far smoother than the 390 Duke. 185cm of ground clearance should make it speed-breaker immune as well. What remains to be seen is just how hot things will get for the rider and pillion in city traffic.

For now, the 790 has exceeded my expectations. This is a KTM, so it’s easy to expect an action-packed ride, but the overall package appears to appeal well beyond the scope of just performance. As for the price – yes, it certainly isn’t as affordable as we hoped, but over the past seven years, KTM has taught us to expect thrilling performance at an unbelievable price. Unfortunately, the 790 comes to India as a CKD, with minimal localisation restricted to things like the engine and saree guards.

If you look at international pricing though, the 790 is positioned above its four-cylinder Japanese rivals and below the Euro competition from Triumph and Ducati, which is the case in our market as well. If anything – it highlights that the Street Triple range is far too expensive in India. In that sense, the price can be reasoned and while this KTM doesn’t offer irresistible pricing, it does a superb job of making you fall in love with the riding experience.

The KTM 390 DUKE is a prime example of why so many people are drawn to the thrill of urban motorcycling. This cornering projectile from the Austrian manufacturer’s 2022 lineup promises to maximize riding pleasure at value for money, earning all the praise thanks to its agile performance.

The KTM 390 Duke’s engine offers plenty of torque and powerful acceleration, good manners for everyday use, and excellent economy. This light and compact 44-hp engine is one of the most powerful options for users with an A2 permit.

The KTM 390 DUKE engine not only delivers arm-wrenching torque and hair-raising acceleration, but also good manners in everyday use, all with outstanding fuel economy. This lightweight, compact engine really packs a punch and with 32 kW (44 hp) it’s one of the most powerful options out there for A2 riders. Thanks to the ingenious intake design and the meticulous fuel injection system, the KTM 390 DUKE is ready and waiting to tear-up the streets and the circuits alike.

The KTM 390 DUKE comes as standard with ultra-lightweight, high-performance upside-down WP forks. Using the latest open-cartridge technology, these forks not only perform above expectations when pushed to the limits, but are also nice and easy to maintain. This makes them perfect for all aspects of riding, from relaxed cruising to hammering around on closed circuits and everything in between.

Thanks to its progressive 150 mm spring, the KTM 390 DUKE will perform in any environment you can throw at it. The preload is adjustable, so you can count on well-balanced suspension whether you’re riding solo or two-up, with or without luggage, on road or on track. The choice is yours.

As light as they are stable, the 17-inch cast alloy racing wheels help you put the power down with confidence, utilizing a 110 mm wide tire at the front and an impressive 150 mm at the rear. Wrapped in premium rubber, the pro-spec tires will keep your KTM 390 DUKE glued to the road. They offer outstanding grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability, even for riders that know how to push tires to their absolute limits.

A high-tech BYBRE braking system works in perfect harmony with the advanced ABS, providing riders with firm, controlled stopping power when they need it most. With a 320 mm brake disc on the front, paired with a 230 mm disc on the rear, the KTM 390 DUKE delivers exceptional pro-level stopping power, and you know what they say: “braking harder makes you faster!”

The two-part seat offers first class sport riding ergonomics with perfect support for both rider and pillion.  A seat height of 820 mm (32.3 in) enables riders to have a super-secure position, whilst also being high enough for ultimate cornering fun. The pillion seat has been integrated into the bodywork so as not to compromise the stunt-ready look of the KTM 390 DUKE, whilst also ensuring excellent comfort for the passenger.

Hi-tech upright handlebars offer KTM 390 DUKE riders a controlled yet aggressive body position, allowing you to dominate in all aspects of riding. From destroying corners to pulling the perfect stoppie, these bars will give you the balance and confidence you need to attack the road like never before. Clutch and brake levers are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize your cockpit to suit your individual riding style.

As an absolute first in its class, the KTM 390 DUKE boasts an innovative multicolor TFT display, presenting all the data you need to go faster in a clear-cut, uncluttered way. As you rev the engine, the display bars change color, either spurring you on or telling you to back off when the engine’s still cold. The display also automatically adapts its color to best suit the light conditions around you. Innovation at its best!!!

The engine is detuned to a 38 hp (28 kW) with a block-off plate, and has an Akrapovič exhaust.

KTM revised the RC 390 in 2017 by adding a slipper clutch, adjustable brake levers, ride-by-wire throttle, a larger 320 mm front brake rotor, larger mirrors, and some cosmetic and ergonomic changes.

KTM AG (Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen, formerly KTM Sportmotorcycle AGAustrian motorcycle, bicycle and sports car manufacturer owned by Pierer Mobility AG and the Indian manufacturer Bajaj Auto. It was formed in 1992 but traces its foundation to as early as 1934. Today, KTM AG is the parent company of the KTM Group, consisting of a number of motorcycle brands.

KTM is known for its off-road motorcycles (enduro, motocross and supermoto). Since the late 1990s, it has expanded into street motorcycle production and developing sports cars – namely the X-Bow. In 2015, KTM sold almost as many street as off-road bikes.

The company secured its first racing title in the 1954 Austrian 125cc national championship.International Six Days Trials, where Egon Dornauer won a gold medal on a KTM machine.

In 1957, KTM built its first sports motorcycle, the Trophy 125cc.moped, named Mecky, was launched in 1957, followed by Ponny I in 1960 and Ponny II in 1962 and Comet in 1963.

As the company continued to expand, the workforce totalled 400 in 1971, and forty years after it was founded, KTM was offering 42 different models. Additionally, KTM was able to produce motorcycles for the racing industry. During the 1970s and 80s, KTM also started to develop and produce engines and radiators. Radiators sold to European car manufacturers constituted a sizable part of the company"s business in the 1980s.

In 1992, the company was split into four new entities: KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH (motorcycles division), KTM Fahrrad GmbH (bicycles division), KTM Kühler GmbH (radiators division) and KTM Werkzeugbau GmbH (tooling division).

Now owned by KTM Motorradholding GmbH, which was formed by Cross Holding (a Cross Industries daughter), and other investors, KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH started operation in 1992 and later took over the sibling tooling division KTM Werkzeugbau. In the following years, while steadily increasing production and turnover, investing in new production and R&D facilities,Cross Industries owner Stefan Pierer.

In 1994, KTM started production of the Duke series of road motorcycles, in 1996, KTM motocross machines were first decked out in KTM"s signature orange color,Supermoto and Adventure motorcycles. In 2007, the company debuted the KTM X-Bow sports car.

In 2013, KTM acquired the formerly Swedish motorcycle maker Husqvarna Motorcycles from its prior owner BMW Motorrad AG.Husaberg into Husqvarna Motorcycles from which it had spun off in the 1990s when Husqvarna was sold to the Italian company Cagiva.

As the final result of the restructuring process, KTM Motorradholding GmbH had become KTM AG in 2012. In 2015, KTM generated a turnover of over 1 billion Euro and employed 2515 people by the end of that year.KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH, KTM Werkzeugbau GmbH and KTM Kühler GmbH (today WP Radiators). KTM Fahrrad GmbH (KTM Bike Industries) remains an independent company and is owned by Chinese investors. KTM-Group today contains the brands KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles and GasGas Motorcycles.

Furthermore, KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH and Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH operate 24 and 8 distribution subsidiaries worldwide, respectively, most of them in European and Asian countries and in the US.

KTM started exporting their GS model to the US in 1968 through an American importer, John Penton under the Penton brand. This joint venture lasted until KTM established KTM America Inc. in Ohio in 1978.

In 2005, KTM-Sportmotocycle began a partnership with ATV manufacturer Polaris Industries with the goal of shared research, and more importantly shared distribution networks. This partnership was a two-year trial arrangement, at the end of which both parties had the option of merging the two companies into one.

In 2006, KTM announced that the partnership with Polaris had been downgraded, and would instead only supply their 450cc and 510cc RFS engines to Polaris.

In January 2008, Bajaj announced that it would jointly develop two new 125cc and 200cc bikes for Europe and the Far East. The bikes would be badged KTM.

KTM entered motorsports competing in motocross racing. KTM won its first championship in 1974 when Guennady Moisseev claimed the 250cc Motocross World Championship.world titles since 1990. With Ryan Dungey"s 2015, 2016 and 2017 victories in the supercross world championship, KTM gained a successful presence in supercross racing as well. In 1994, a KTM factory team debuted at the Dakar Rally. In 1998, KTM riders won second to twelfth place. With consecutive wins from 2001 to 2019, the manufacturer has dominated the rally for 18 years now. KTM teams successfully compete in other rally raid events like the Atlas Rally or the Rallye du Maroc. KTM has won 37 cross country rallies world titles since 2003 and has won the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship 15 times, most recently in 2015.

In 2003, KTM started sponsoring and supporting road racing in various capacities, with the most successful results stemming from their supermoto efforts. From 2003 to 2009, a KTM factory team competed in the 125 cc class of the motorcycle Grands Prix, and between 2005 and 2008 in the 250 cc class. Notable successes in the 125 cc class were the second and third place in the overall ranking scored in 2005 by KTM riders Mika Kallio and Gábor Talmácsi, the second place in 2006 by Mika Kallio, the third place in 2007 by Tomoyoshi Koyama and the 2005 KTM victory in the 125 cc constructor"s championship. In the 250 cc class, Mika Kallio won third place in 2008. Since the first Rookies Cup season in 2007, KTM has supplied the bike for the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. In 2009, KTM announced their withdrawal from Grand Prix motorcycle racing in all classes, and did not return until 2012 in the new Moto3 class.

In 2012, KTM won the Moto3 manufacturers" championship. During the next season, KTM riders prevailed in every race of the Moto3 class and won the world title as well as second and third place, making KTM the obvious victor of the manufacturers" standing. KTM won the manufacturer title in the 2014 and 2016 as well as the world title in 2016 in the Moto3 class. Starting in 2017, KTM fields bikes in both MotoGP and Moto2 classes as well. The main class team features Bradley Smith and Pol Espargaró as full-season riders, and Mika Kallio as wildcard rider. The Moto2 KTM Ajo team features Miguel Oliveira and Brad Binder.

Steadfastly independent and confident of their company"s abilities, KTM chose to use a steel trellis frame where all other manufacturers used aluminum. In addition, KTM insisted on developing their own racing suspension through their WP subsidiary (all other manufacturers used Öhlins). KTM demonstrated their prowess in doing things their own way by winning their first Moto GP premier class race on August 9, 2020, with rookie Brad Binder crossing the finish line in first place.

KTM"s official company/team colours are orange, black and silver. To create a strong brand identity, all competition-ready KTMs come from the factory with bright orange plastic with "KTM" emblazoned on the side of the radiator shrouds. All KTM bikes also come from the factory with a Motorex sticker on the outside of the motor. All first fills of oil come from Motorex as well. Some official KTM teams use different colors for their bikes, most noticeably in the Dakar Rally.

KTM manufactures a wide range of off-road motorcycles. Not all of their models are available in every country. The following section lists bikes that are sold in the US.

Enduro – The street-legal EXC enduro versions of KTM"s XC cross-country bikes are supplied with plusher non-linkage suspensions, a wider-ratio gear box and lights.

Free Ride – A KTM original class of off-road motorcycle that could be described as a cross between Enduro and trials bikes. The Freeride 250R is powered by a lighter, modified version of the 250 EXC Enduro engine and has a specially developed six-speed gearbox with close transmission ratios in the lower gears and a wide ratio for the sixth gear.

New European emission laws have increased the pressure on two-stroke bikes, as their engines are less fuel efficient and produce more pollution than four-stroke engines. However, with newer advances in technology, two-strokes have begun to burn cleaner and pass stricter environmental standards. Starting in 2017, all newly registered motorcycles must conform with the Euro 4 regulations for emissions management. In May 2017, KTM unveiled a new two-stroke engine with direct fuel injection. By pressure-injecting an electronically controlled amount of fuel into the transfer port of the cylinder, the new TPI (transfer port injection) engines will be more fuel efficient and cleaner than classic carburetor two-stroke engines, albeit more complex and expensive. By 2018, 250 and 300 EXC TPI enduro models will be powered by the new engine.

Supermoto – KTM was the first manufacturer to offer a competition-ready supermoto bike to the public. However, the company stopped supermoto production in 2016 to focus on stock 690 SMC R machines. For the 2019 Model year, the 690 SMC R model was completely renewed. The bike now has the latest version of the single cylinder LC4 power unit, introduced for the MY2016 Duke. The previous supermoto models included the 625 SMC and the race version 560 SMR. The 141 kg light 690 SMC R model has a 48 kW liquid-cooled one-cylinder four-stroke motor (LC4) and a hydraulically actuated APTC slipper clutch.

Adventure tourers – KTM currently produces the 1090 Adventure, 790 Adventure, and 1290 Super Adventure dual-sport adventure bikes in versions with different seat height, wheels and suspensions that endow the machines with a road (S), off-road (R – for rally) or touring (T) bias.

The 1090 Adventure and 1290 Super Adventure bikes are powered by 75 degree V-twin four-stroke motors (LC8). The 790 Adventure is powered by the new LC8c parallel twin four-stroke motor. All 3 feature a slipper clutch, electronically controlled riding modes (sport, street and rain) with the 1290 and 790 featuring a TFT display and the 1090 featuring a twin (analog plus LCD) display.

Sports tourer – The KTM sports tourer 1290 Superduke GT (Gran Turismo) is a version of the 1290 Superduke R naked bike that has been modified for more touring comfort with a longer and more robust frame, modified handlebar, larger fuel tank and modified 75 degree V-twin four-stroke LC8 motor. Like the 1290 Super Adventure, the 1290 Superduke GT features three electronically controlled riding modes.

Naked bikes – With the Duke and Superduke models, KTM currently offers naked bikes with 125, 200, 250, 390, 690, 790, 890 and 1290 cc displacement. The 125 (not available in the US), 200, 250, 390 and 690 and 690 R Duke models have a single-cylinder four-stroke LC4 motor. The 790, 890 Duke use a new twin-parallel engine. The 1290 R Superduke model is equipped with a 75 degree V-twin four-stroke motor (LC8).

200, 250 and 390 Duke models are currently produced by Bajaj Auto in Pune, India.The 250 is only available in Asia, with only the Duke 390 and Duke 200 being exported to European countries and North America. The Duke 200 2020 model is now available in the United States and has a new redesigned 200 cc displacement engine.

Supersport – KTM sport bikes currently offered in the supersport category include the RC 125 (not available in the US) and the RC 390. Both are street-legal versions of bikes that compete in street races. With the RC16, KTM has presented a 1000 cc sport bike that will race in the MotoGP class of the 2017 Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix.

Superbike – Currently, KTM has retired from superbike production and competitions.1190 RC8 superbike, a light, powerful homologated (street-legal) bike for superbike competitions with an LC8 motor and without any of the electronic driving aids that the otherwise comparable Superduke and Super Adventure models offer.

Since 1992,KISKA, a Salzburg-based design firm. KISKA also designed four versions of the X-Bow and is responsible for the overall branding for KTM and Husqvarna.

The KTM X-Bow (pronounced cross-bow) is a series of lightweight, two-seater sports cars known as the X-Bow R, the X-Bow RR, the X-Bow GT and the X-BOW GT4.Audi engine and a carbon fibre chassis developed in cooperation with Italian racing car manufacturer Dallara, making it the world"s first street-legal car with a full carbon fibre monocoque.

KTM first introduced the 790 Duke to Canada in 2017, and then replaced it a couple of years later with the 890 platform. Now, the 790 Duke is coming back to Canada for 2023, in updated form.

Judging by KTM’s press release, it appears the 790 Duke is intended to once again be the base model in the LC8c lineup, with the 890 Duke R positioned as a more high-spec version of the platform. There is no comment yet on whether or not we will also see a 790 Adventure return to the lineup, as that machine was replaced by the 890 Adventure and we’ve seen no indication that will change.

At one point, the story was thatthese newer 790 models would be built in China, as part of KTM’s partnership with CFMoto. CFMoto certainly builds KTM-branded bikes for its home market, but we’ve seen no confirmation that the new 790 models coming to Canada will be made in China.

In base form, the new 790 Duke will have cornering-sensitive traction control and ABS (with Supermoto mode, allowing you to lock the rear wheel), along with Rain, Street and Sport ride modes, all-LED lighting, and a 5-inch TFT screen. KTM’s Quickshifter+ is available as an option (for clutchless upshifts and downshifts), along with adjustable engine braking, tire pressure monitoring, cruise control and a Track mode.

Good news! The updated 1290 Super Duke GT, which European customers got last summer, is coming to Canada for 2023, once again bringing the attitude of a hypernaked roadster with minimal touring accoutrements tacked on.

The 1301 cc V-twin is reworked, to meet new emissions standards, and the bike once again comes with WP Apex semi-active suspension, allowing the rider to select electro-adjusted preload for Rider, Rider & Pillion, Rider & Luggage or Rider, Pillion & Luggage weights. Anti-dive function also comes standard. There’s a new 7-inch TFT screen and new switchgear, new (lighter) wheels, new ContiSportAttack 4 tires, and Sygic-powered Turn-by-Turn PLUS navigation. This bike certainly sounds like a lot of fun—the outgoing model sure was—but we haven’t seen a price tag for this machine either, or an arrival date. More info and specs here.

The CFMoto CF1250 is the most powerful motorcycle to be ever made by a Chinese bike manufacturer. It is the result of the partnership between KTM and CFMoto. For the ones unaware of the previous developments, CFMoto manufactures bikes for KTM in China. Models such as 200 Duke and 390 Duke currently roll-out of its Chinese factory, while the KTM 790 Duke and 790 Adventure has been slated for future production.

The CF1250 is based on the KTM LC8 V-twin motor taken from the 1290 SuperDuke. CFMoto has reworked the engine with new casings and the end result is a 1279cc V-twin which is known to churn out 140 PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 120 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm.

The bike features a 12.3-inch colour TFT LCD instrument cluster which is huge even for car standards. The screen is capable of displaying a plethora of information in a simple and uncluttered format. It boasts mobile phone integration for caller ID, navigation, and more.

Remember Hanway Motorcycles? Yes, the Chinese brand that spawned the Royal Enfield Himalayan doppelganger we fondly called the Chimalayan. The brand has launched its new 125cc motorcycle, the NK 125 Furious (Online Pista 125) in Europe, and if it ever debuts in India, will certainly make the KTM 125 Duke sweat.

The Hanway NK 125 Furious dons a completely new look for 2021. Replacing the BMW G 310 R-inspired headlight is now a full LED unit that does justice to its ‘Furious’ nametag. Hanway has even redesigned the 13.5-litre fuel tank to look chiselled, with extensions similar to the 125 Duke.

The Chinese manufacturer hasn’t just borrowed styling cues from the Asutrian brand. Hanway has equipped the NK 125 Furious with a full colour TFT display which is eerily similar to the unit seen on the KTM 390 Duke. In fact, it even has the same layout and the Light and Dark modes, complete with Bluetooth connectivity.

Complimenting the aggressive styling is the new Euro5-compliant single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 15PS at 10,000rpm, which is the maximum permissible for a bike of this segment. Considering that the 125 Duke makes 14.95PS at 9250rpm, the Hanway does a fine job. The Hanway NK 125 Furious features a USD fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock. A 280mm disc up front and a 240mm disc, aided by dual-channel ABS take care of braking. Yes, unlike most Chinese bikes, Hanway hasn’t gone overboard with dual discs and beefy forks.

The Hanway NK 125 Furious is priced at EUR 3,399 (Rs 2.52 lakh) in Germany, while the KTM 125 Duke carries a price tag of EUR 5,350 (Rs 3.97 lakh). With a price difference of almost EUR 2,000 (Rs 1.48 lakh), the NK 125 offers more performance and almost the same equipment as the KTM. While the bike makes perfect sense in Europe, it wouldn"t be as cheap in India, and certainly couldn’t match the KTM’s Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom) price tag.

Benelli has gone all out in the tech department, too. A massive 15-inch full-colour TFT display serves as the 1200GT’s instrument cluster, and comes with a ton of features including built-in satellite navigation, as well as the ability to view live feeds from the bike’s front and rear cameras.

Benelli has also equipped this bike with a set of electronic rider aids to keep its power and heft in check. All of which can be configured via the bike’s sophisticated TFT display. It also gets ABS-equipped Brembo brakes, an adjustable inverted fork, and an adjustable rear mono-shock. As far as pricing is concerned, the Benelux 1200GT fetches CNY 99,800, or the equivalent of around P800,000–pretty good value, especially considering the amount of tech this bike boasts. It remains to be seen, however, if Benelli will make this bike available outside of China anytime soon.

Other features include a six-speed transmission, sporty inverted forks, full-LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, aluminum swingarm, and an all-too familiar TFT screen that looks almost exactly like the one on the KTM Duke 390.
