KTM 990 Duke 2024

The new KTM 990 Duke offers terrific power, both in relaxed everyday riding and on winding country roads. Sachs with the disappointing braking performance is therefore particularly painful here. In my opinion, the KTM remains virtually unrivalled in the upper mid-range when it comes to road fun. Even the excessively high price, when compared with the competition, is not an exclusion criterion for me. According to me, there is no other bike in this segment that is so lively, that combines stability and nimble handling so superbly and also offers such a height of everyday usability. A modern KTM Duke with two cylinders is quite simply a unique bike.
