2021 KTM 890 Duke Unveiled

THE KTM 890 DUKE HAS BEEN UNVEILED BY THE AUSTRIAN motorcycle manufacturer and will sit a notch below the manic 890 Duke R. Customers can expect a few changes from the R variant, making the new 2021 KTM 890 Duke a little more accessible to the regular rider.

These changes are seen in the paint scheme which is lathered on to the same body as the R variant. The new bike gets a shorter seat height of 820 millimetres compared to the 834-mm one on the R variant and it does mean that the ground clearance has taken a hit to accommodate the drop in seat height. In addition, you now get a pillion seat which does make the new 890 Duke a more liveable machine.

We expect the new 890 Duke to be the model KTM choose to produce at Chakan, near Pune, for the Indian market. It should replace the imported 790 Duke that was previously launched. That is an exciting thought for sure.
