KTM launches 890 Duke R in India at Rs 14.50 lakh

KTM has introduced its much-anticipated big bike lineup to the Indian market, with the KTM 890 Duke R now available at Rs 14.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Known for its aggressive streetfighter styling, the 890 Duke R embodies KTM’s signature minimalist design with sharp, angular bodywork, a compact LED headlamp, a stepped seat, and a sporty upswept exhaust.

Power and Performance

The KTM 890 Duke R is equipped with an 890cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that delivers 121 BHP and 99 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch for smoother gear transitions. Built on a tubular steel frame, the bike features WP Apex suspension at both ends—an adjustable fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear—designed for optimal handling and stability.

Features and Safety

Focused on both performance and safety, the 890 Duke R includes advanced electronics such as lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, and a full-color TFT display. Riders can choose from three riding modes: Rain, Street, and Sport, allowing customization based on road conditions and personal preferences.
