KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.

Provides the most adrenaline rush

Extensive configuration options when buying

Grandiose brakes

Great original equipment tyres

Practical electronic features

Great seating position for tall people

Electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated.

Shift assistant nice, but in direct comparison with other power nakeds a bit rough

Exhausting to ride

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

The most dangerous motorbike for the driving licence on the market.

KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO 2024

KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO 2024

The KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO proves that it cuts an exceptional figure both on the race track and in everyday urban riding. Its impressive combination of power, comfort and technology makes it a first-class choice for riders who don't want to compromise between adrenaline and everyday practicality. The semi-active suspension, flexible ergonomics and advanced engine control ensure that this bike, with its brute power, is always confident, fun and actually quite easy to ride. This overall package doesn't cost little either, even compared to other Hyper Nakeds. However, with the large V2 engine and the associated engine characteristics, the 1390 Super Duke R also offers a unique riding experience.

Huge V2 with endless power and grunt across the entire torque curve, yet uncomplicated and easy to control thanks to modern electronics

Very powerful, easy to modulate brakes

Sporty ergonomics with a front-wheel focus that favours hang-off, but also allows for pushy riding

Semi-active suspension with great reponsiveness and a wide spread between comfort and sport settings

State-of-the-art electronic systems on board

Nice sound from the outside, but the rider doesn't notice much of it

Quickshifter and co. could be on board as standard for the high purchase price
