The 790 Duke has been updated for the international market by KTM. The 2024 edition gets two new eye-catching colour schemes: grey and orange, as well as updated graphics on the fuel tank extensions and tail portion. The bike hasn't changed mechanically and harbours the same 799cc parallel-twin LC8c motor with 103bhp and 87Nm. In addition, the KTM motorcycle has four ride modes: Sport, Street, Rain, and Track, as well as a Supermoto mode. Traction control, wheelie control, and cornering ABS are additional riding aids. The aggressive design of the 2024 KTM 7790 Duke remains unchanged. With the updated version set to hit international shores shortly, let's have a closer look at its key features.
