KTM has announced the launch timeline for its 2026 Duke model range for New Zealand and Australia. The range, which includes the 990 Duke, new 990 Duke R, as well as the 1390 Super Duke and 1390 Super Duke R EVO will be available in the two countries from February.

KTM 990 Duke

Starting off with the KTM 990 Duke, the motorcycle will be available from this month but only in limited numbers in NZ. KTM offers the 990 Duke with the 4-year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty. Not a lot has changed on the 2026 model. However, there is the new 990 Duke R that was globally launched last month and is available in NZ and Australia from March. The model builds on the standard 990 with performance-focused components like the fully-adjustable WP Suspension. It offers 130bhp and a healthy 103Nm from its twin-cylinder motor.  

Lastly, there is the biggest in the line-up; the 1390 Super Duke R and the Super Duke R EVO. Both are available from February onwards and remain largely the same as the previous year’s model

Adding to that, KTM is also offering the KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear for 2026 that includes accessories, riding gear and casual wear as well.
