KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.

The ease with which you shake lap times from your sleeves and the practical harmony of performance and comfort are completely new. In truth, the best compromise between track and road without being one. This is not an update, this is a completely new CBR.

Extremely low weight for a 600

pure handling

great basis for racetrack conversion

No anti-hopping clutch
