The KTM 990 Duke will be the successor to the 890 Duke featuring a new parallel-twin motor and a fresh design.
Starting with the spy images, the test bike was spotted sporting a completely new front fascia similar to what we have seen on the 1290 Super Duke and the 390 Duke. Moreover, the headlight fairing seems to be made using a 3D printer but seems like its near final design.
The 990 Duke test mule appears to feature the same frame as the 890 Duke. The swingarm, on the other hand, doesn’t have a negative cavity, but instead has a solid design.
For the suspension setup, it is no surprise that the motorcycle will be equipped with WP units. It also features a revised exhaust system with a larger collector under the engine.
The leaked specifications of the engine state that it will be a 947 cc parallel-twin motor that will be capable of putting out 124 bhp and 103 Nm. Compared to the 890 Duke, which registers 122 bhp and 99 Nm.
While the basic architecture of the mill has remained the same, the cylinder head, housing, oil pan and a few other components have been redesigned.
