Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has officially shelved the 490 cc platform. As a result, all plans for the KTM 490 Duke have been cancelled.

The KTM 490 Duke was expected to launch in September 2026. Plans for a new 490 cc parallel-twin engine were first announced back in 2020 and CEO Stefan Pierer had stated that this new platform would power a new range of motorcycles. While KTM was planning to fit the new engine into the 490 Duke, the project was cancelled in 2023 due to the costs of developing a new parallel-twin with a low capacity.

KTM 490 Duke User Opinions & Ratings

Write an Opinion

Super Bike Highlights

The bike looks very rugged and aggressive, almost like a devil. I didn’t expect much mileage from this 490cc vehicle, but overall it feels like good value for money. The price may vary, and a lower price could attract more youngsters. It also needs a reliable service center to match its performance.

Overall, it is considered highly attractive.

Racing DNA in a Streetfighter Form

They should improve the looks because the 250 and 390 Duke don’t have much visual distinction. It’s really important to make the 490’s design stand out with a unique and fresh identity.
