Fazit aus der 1000PS Redaktion

The new KTM 990 Duke offers terrific power, both in relaxed everyday riding and on winding country roads. Sachs with the disappointing braking performance is therefore particularly painful here. In my opinion, the KTM remains virtually unrivalled in the upper mid-range when it comes to road fun. Even the excessively high price, when compared with the competition, is not an exclusion criterion for me. According to me, there is no other bike in this segment that is so lively, that combines stability and nimble handling so superbly and also offers such a height of everyday usability. A modern KTM Duke with two cylinders is quite simply a unique bike.


  • Lively and powerful engine with manners
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Playful handling
  • High stability
  • Excellent chassis with lots of feedback and stability
  • Modern electronics with lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS
  • Smooth 2-cylinder in the lower rev range without jerking
  • Strong acceleration in the lower rev range
  • Versatility for both everyday riding and sporty riding
  • Confident riding performance even in wet conditions
  • Very light and agile
  • High-quality display and pleasant operation of the switches
  • Polarised design
  • Price/performance ratio below average compared to competitors
  • gearstick on the test bike too bony and harsh this time
  • blipper function could give more intermediate throttle
  • feedback from suspension not perfect
  • engine slightly raw at low revs compared to three- or four-cylinder bikes
  • polarised design
