KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2023

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.

brutal performance

accessible handling

fully adjustable and stable chassis

high quality standard tyres

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 is a very suitable motorbike for travelling with its lavish standard equipment, but on the other hand it does not shy away from adventures with its long suspension travel, lively engine and active ergonomics. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low-slung fuel tank, which makes life easy on and off the paved roads.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine response

Linear rev band

Hardly any vibration in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

High level of ride comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

Accessible but at the same time exciting character

good wind and weather protection

Tough

Reliable even on long tours

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

unsteady engine running after cold start

Low flywheel mass, always dies off

Wide seat makes it quite a high bike even with long legs.
