This new display offers improved visibility and usability for riders. The 2025 KTM 790 Duke also includes new backlit switchgear, designed to enhance the bike's connectivity. The updated dashboard now features Bluetooth support through the KTMconnect app and includes a USB-C charger for easy device charging. The updated interface brings additional features, such as KTM's Demo Mode, a telemetry screen, and an optional Anti-wheelie Mode with six adjustable settings.

The bike retains its bold, aggressive naked styling, with subtle updates to the headlight cover. It now comes in two new striking colour options: Black-Orange and All-Black, offering riders more choices for personalisation. The plastic surrounds around the headlight have been redesigned with sharper edges, enhancing its modern look.

For further customisation, KTM offers a wide range of high-quality PowerParts accessories. Apart from these updates, the bike remains unchanged.

The 2025 KTM 790 Duke is powered by a 799cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 103bhp at 9,500 rpm and 87Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The 790 Duke offers various ride modes, including Rain, Street, and Sport, for different conditions. Track and Performance modes are available for further customisation. The new Track mode has ten levels of traction control, allowing riders to adjust cornering and throttle control.
