KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track:
KTM has taken its flagship naked machine to a new extreme with the introduction of the 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track. For the first time in Super Duke history, the motorcycle has been engineered exclusively for life on the racetrack, with no street-legal version offered.

As the name indicates, the 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is designed purely for track riding, with no intention of road use. It removes headlights, rearview mirrors, and other street-legal parts, and has been modified to meet FIM racing standards. KTM will produce only 100 units worldwide.
The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is based on the existing 1390 Super Duke platform but incorporates a comprehensive weight-reduction program. According to KTM, the motorcycle is 9 kg lighter than the road-legal RR variant and 20 kg lighter than the standard R model. These savings are achieved by removing non-essential equipment and replacing components throughout the bike with lighter, race-oriented alternatives.
The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track features bodywork constructed largely from carbon fiber to minimize overall weight, while forged magnesium wheels help reduce unsprung mass. The motorcycle is also equipped with a full Akrapovič Evolution Line titanium exhaust system, titanium fasteners, and a simplified electronics package compared with its road-legal counterpart.
The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track receives upgraded suspension and braking systems developed with circuit performance as the primary objective. The motorcycle is equipped with premium WP Pro Components influenced by KTM’s MotoGP program, while braking duties are handled by superbike-spec Brembo hardware. Standard equipment also includes Michelin Power Performance slick tires, reinforcing the bike’s track-focused character.
According to KTM, the 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is aimed at riders seeking a motorcycle that is fully prepared for track use directly from the factory, eliminating the need to convert a road-going model themselves. While this concept offers clear convenience and appeal, it also reduces some of the personal involvement and satisfaction associated with building and refining a custom race machine.
The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is powered by a 1,350cc liquid- and oil-cooled 75-degree V-twin engine producing 202 PS and 151 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. It uses a Keihin EMS system, ride-by-wire throttle, and comes standard with a full Akrapovič Evolution Line titanium exhaust.
The bike uses a chromium-molybdenum trellis steel frame with a cast-aluminum and carbon-fiber rear subframe. Suspension comes from top-level WP PRO components, including adjustable 8548 front forks with 130 mm travel and a WP PRO 8750 rear shock with 120 mm travel. Braking is handled by Brembo GP4 MS four-piston calipers with 320 mm front discs and a 240 mm rear disc.
The motorcycle has a 1,491 mm wheelbase, 860 mm seat height, and 109 mm ground clearance. It weighs only 177 kg dry, has a 17.5-liter fuel tank, and rides on lightweight 17-inch forged wheels.
Only 100 units will be built, each priced at £32,999, with pre-orders now available through KTM dealerships.
