Overview
- New spy photos show KTM testing an Adventure-style bike and a naked Duke-style bike in early prototype form on public roads.
- Autocar India and others argue the single front brake on both bikes points to smaller-capacity twin-cylinder prototypes rather than true 790 models.
- Financial Express describes the machines as next-generation 790 Duke and 790 Adventure with major component changes and a revised parallel twin, including reported oil-pan and valve-cover updates.
- Visible changes include a new headlight layout, a side-mounted exhaust, USD forks and a single front rotor, with the Adventure mule also showing off-road wheels and a tall screen in test trim.
- No model names or specifications have been confirmed by KTM, and timelines suggested in some reports (such as 12–18 months to market) remain speculative.
