KTM 790 Duke returns to refreshed street roster from Austria

KTM 790 Duke returns to refreshed street roster from Austria

Written by Andrew Parkin

KTM has revealed its 2023 street range, with colour updates to most of the models and the return of the 790 Duke after two years away.

KTM has announced its 2023 street range, with visual updates to many models, as well as the return of the 790 Duke.

KTM’s 2023 street range features many updates, although most of them are restricted to new paint jobs. The 790 Duke, though, is new for 2023, as it returns to the range for the first time since the introduction of the 890 Duke in 2021.

The KTM 790 Duke returns for 2023 after being replaced in 2021 by the 890. The 790’s return sees it with 95 horsepower and revised electronics. This is only for the European version, though, as elsewhere in the world the CFMoto-built motors will produce 105 horsepower. Alongside the 95 horsepower, KTM gets 87Nm of torque from the 799cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, which is of course Euro5 compliant.

In 62 miles (100km), the 2023 KTM 790 Duke will drink 4.4 litres of fuel, while it can also be detuned to 48 horsepower to suit A2-licenced riders. Once the A licence has been granted, the full 95 horsepower can be unlocked. In a similar way, it is possible to unlock optional electronic settings. These optional settings are:
Quickshifter+, allowing for clutchless up and downshifts
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)
Track Mode
Cruise Control
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
KTM My Ride providing a hands-free connection to phones and music

The 2023 KTM 790 Duke will be equipped with these electronic settings, but they are not unlocked unless you specifically pay for them. KTM is introducing a “Demo Mode” that can be active for 1,500km (932 miles) which will allow the owner of the bike to test out all of the electronics settings in a sort of trial period. When the trial ends, the owner can visit any KTM dealership where they can pay a fee to install the electronics options they want. There are also a multitude of standard electronics options, of course. These are:

Cornering sensitive Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC)
Cornering ABS with Supermoto mode
3 standard Ride modes (Rain, Street, Sport) to quickly change the feel of the engine and level of MTC
Full-colour 5-inch TFT display
LED lights all around
