KTM 690 Duke 2017

KTM 690 Duke 2017

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

For some, not a "real" single-cylinder Duke

Engine, chassis and brakes mastered the tough test in the race perfectly. The world press was convinced and is now reporting around the globe about a race on a racing motorbike that is actually a normal road bike with registration, warranty and number plate.

Powerful engine

plenty of power

positive handling

sophisticated design

adjustment options

braking system.

Chassis is not suitable for beginners

visually remains the same.
