KTM 1390 Super Duke RR 350-Unit Special gets a ‘Beast’ Mode

• Limited to 350 units
• 188bhp and 145Nm from latest 1,350cc LC8 V-twin
• Drops 11kg over the 1390 Super Duke R

KTM has unveiled the 2026 1390 Super Duke RR sitting right at the top of its street motorcycle line-up. Based on the 1390 Super Duke R, this new RR has been developed as a more extreme version of KTM’s hyper naked idea. It is lighter, more focused and aimed at riders who want a track tool without giving up its road-worthiness.

The 1390 Super Duke RR is 11kg lighter than the standard 1390 Super Duke R. Lower mass should help everything from agility and braking response to direction changes and general rider confidence at speed. It also gets a stiffer and more focused chassis to make it feel more planted and more direct when ridden hard.

KTM’s latest 1,350cc LC8 V-twin is able to produce a ballistic 188bhp and 145Nm. The engine uses new CAMSHIFT technology to improve fuel combustion across the rev range. KTM has paired this with a titanium Akrapovic slip-on exhaust for better response and overall drama.

Suspension is handled by WP Pro Components derived from MotoGP technology which brings a high level of adjustability to the package. Forged wheels and Michelin Power GP Hypersport tyres are also part of the package, and it also comes with the awesome Brembo HyPure Sport front brake callipers for stopping duties.

KTM says all Tech Pack features come unlocked as standard and the motorcycle debuts a new 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT dashboard. This system has a lap timer, telemetry statistics within Track Mode and a new Beast Mode (adding evil grin here!) function alongside the usual spread of ride modes, rider aids and ABS settings. This makes the 1390 Super Duke RR one of the most electronically loaded street-going KTMs to date.

For added visual drama the bike gets winglets around the tank to increase downforce and reduce front-wheel lift. There is a revised headlight design and a new colour treatment too. These updates do give it a more distinct identity not to be mistaken for the standard Super Duke R. KTM is also limiting production to 350 units adding to its exclusivity.
