2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track: First Look

The 2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is the first track-only Super Duke model in the KTM lineup — stripped of every component that could make it street-legal, built to FIM racetrack regulations, and limited to 100 units worldwide. Assembled at KTM headquarters in Mattighofen, Austria, the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track tips the scales at 9 kilograms less than the street-legal KTM 1390 Super Duke RR and a full 20 kilograms lighter than the standard KTM 1390 Super Duke R. It is expected at authorized KTM dealers in May 2026.

How KTM Built the 1390 Super Duke RR Track

KTM R&D approached the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track by removing all unnecessary road-going parts and panels, then reaching for the top shelf of the parts catalogue. The weight savings come from carbon fibre body parts, lightweight forged magnesium wheels, a full titanium Akrapovič Evolution Line exhaust, titanium screws throughout, and a reduced electronics platform. The result is a level of factory customization and equipment that KTM has never applied to a production model — a deliberate and purposeful build where every component either reduces weight or improves performance.

Suspension, Brakes, and Tires on the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track

With the weight stripped, KTM’s engineers turned to handling. The KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track runs WP PRO COMPONENTS suspension with MotoGP technology — the same engineering platform that informs KTM’s Grand Prix program — paired with a Superbike-spec Brembo braking system and Michelin Power Performance Slick tires. The combination of MotoGP-derived suspension, race-grade brakes, and slick rubber on a 20-kilogram-lighter platform creates a machine that exists in a different category from the street-legal Super Duke lineup. This is not an upgrade package bolted onto a road bike. It is a factory-built race machine that happens to share a name with one.

KTM has built track-oriented motorcycles before, but the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is the first time the company has applied this treatment to the Super Duke platform — and the first time a production Duke has been designed with zero consideration for road legality. The track-focused naked bike segment has been gaining momentum, and KTM’s entry raises the bar by combining a factory-built chassis with components that most riders would source individually from aftermarket specialists. Limited to 100 units with no indication of a second run, the KTM 1390 Super Duke RR Track is as much a statement of intent as it is a motorcycle.
