KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Provides a wonderful adrenaline rush

terrific brakes with cornering ABS

practical electronic features

great seating position

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

one of the most dangerous motorbikes for the driving licence on the market

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is still a wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine. It reminds us why we love motorbikes. It provides great moments in the saddle that make you forget practical disadvantages. The Marzocchi suspension elements installed since 2024 work incredibly well and, in conjunction with the Brembo Stylema system, make the XE a factor not to be underestimated in the country road duel. Off-road, it is unrivalled in this class anyway. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.
