Increased to 8.8" in size, the new TFT touchscreen landscape dashboard takes functionality to new heights with its intuitive design, packed with inductive technology.

Bodywork

Aggressive by nature and with an 'R' on the tank spoilers that immediately signals its top-of-the-line DNA, riders will instantly recognize THE PUNISHER on first glance. Taking inspiration from various heritage models in the KTM range and elevating the end result to meet modern demands, the White colorway is as cool as it is bold - at speed or at a standstill.

LED Headlight

When day turns to night, the dynamic lightweight LED headlight equipped on the KTM 990 DUKE R serves its ultimate purpose, with a smart touch as well. Daytime running lights automatically adjust in intensity and function in darker conditions, an automatic low beam offers assistance by remaining lit for a moment even after the ride is complete, and its improvements are clear.
