KTM has introduced the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track, a new version of its flagship naked bike built purely for track use.
This is not a road-legal motorcycle. It is designed specifically for racing environments, with a clear focus on performance, weight reduction, and track-ready components.
What It Is
The 1390 Super Duke RR Track is essentially a more focused version of the already extreme Super Duke RR.
- Track-only motorcycle with no road-legal components
- Built to FIM racetrack regulations
- Hand-built at KTM’s Austria facility
- 23 kg lighter than the standard Super Duke R
The idea is simple: remove everything unnecessary and build a machine purely for lap times.
Built for the Track
KTM has stripped the bike down to its essentials.
- Extensive use of carbon fibre
- Removal of unnecessary panels and components
- Focus on weight reduction and agility
The result is a motorcycle that prioritises performance over comfort, with no compromise on its purpose.
Chassis and Suspension
The bike gets high-end components developed for racing.
- WP APEX PRO front forks with race-derived technology
- WP APEX PRO rear shock with full adjustability
- Frame redesigned to remove extra mounting points
These upgrades are aimed at improving feedback, grip, and overall control on track.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
The setup here is fully track-focused.
- Forged magnesium wheels, lighter than standard
- Michelin Power Performance slick tyres
- Brembo braking system with race-spec components
This combination is designed to maximise grip and braking performance.
Engine and Performance
The bike uses KTM’s LC8 V-twin engine.
- 193 hp at 10,000 rpm
- Up to 199 hp with ram-air
- 151 Nm of torque
The focus remains on delivering strong acceleration and performance across the rev range.
Technology and Features
Unlike most modern bikes, KTM has kept electronics simple.
- 4.2-inch TFT display
- Minimal rider aids and data
- Focus on essential information only
This approach keeps the rider more connected to the machine.
Exhaust and Extras
- Akrapovič Evolution exhaust system as standard

These additions further improve performance and track usability.
Conclusion
The KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is built with a clear purpose.
It removes road usability completely and focuses only on track performance. For riders who want a dedicated track machine, this is as focused as it gets.
