The Scalpel

KTM membuat keputusan untuk mengembalikan 790 Duke bagi tahun 2023 meskipun model itu sebelum ini telah digantikan dengan 890 Duke.

Difahamkan, keputusan hidupkan semula KTM 790 Duke itu dibuat setelah pengeluar motosikal Austria itu menerima banyak permintaan daripada pasaran global.

KTM sebelum ini menggantikan 790 Duke dengan 890 Duke ekoran mahu menghasilkan jentera yang lebih berkuasa di samping terpaksa mengikut standard emisi ketat di Eropah. 

Bagaimanapun, hak enjin parallel-twin LC8c 799cc itu bukan lagi milik KTM dan sudah berpindah tangan kepada CFMOTO bagi pembangunan 800MT. 

Oleh yang demikian, penghasilan semula KTM 790 Duke telah dijayakan bersama CFMOTO bagi tahun 2023.

Untuk rekod, enjin LC8c terbabit masih lagi menghasilkan 105hp pada 9,000rpm dan 82.37Nm @ pada 8,000rpm. 

Meskipun enjin yang sama namun model 2023 ini telah dinaik taraf dengan beberapa ciri baharu terutamanya pakej elektronik.

Menurut KTM, 790 Duke 2023 ini datang dengan mod ‘Track’ yang sertai mod sedia ada termasuk Sport, Street dan Rain. 

Model baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan sistem ‘traction-control’ sembilan peringkat, fungsi ‘anti-wheelie’, ‘launch control’ dan tiga tetapan respon enjin.

Juga ciri baharu terdapat pada 790 Duke ini termasuk Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) dan mod Supermoto. 

Namun, spesifikasi lain termasuk bahagian suspensi masih sama seperti model terdahulu termasuk fork depan WP Apex 43mm. 

The introduction of the 790 Duke back in 2017 was a success with over 29,000 units sold within a short period.

However, new emission standard threatened the model’s future which prompted KTM to introduced the 890 Duke R in 2020 before subsequently replaced the 790 with the base 890 Duke a year later.

In a latest update, KTM has decided it is the right time to bring back the original Scalpel right where it left off for 2022.

While the 790 Duke retains the LC8 parallel-twin engine, the house of Mattighofen has upgraded the mill to meet Euro 5 emission regulations.

Despite the udpdate, the 2022 790 Duke now makes 105hp and 87Nm but restricted to just 93hp for the European market.

Nonetheless, the 2022MY gets premium components which includes the WP APEX suspension.

Moving on to electronics, the 790 Duke features:

  • Traction Control
  • Cornering ABS
  • Supermoto ABS
  • 3 riding modes – Street, Sport and Rain
  • Quickshifter+
  • Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)
  • Track riding mode
  • cruise control
  • KTM My Ride

According to Team Orange, the 2022 Scalpel will return to Europe in June with a starting price of EUR8,999 (RM41k).

Although the 890 Duke remains avaialble, KTM believed that 790 Duke represents as a brige between the 390 Duke and 890 Duke.
