KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM has not brought a completely new Superduke GT for 2019, but has improved the improved the machine in detail. Conclusion: Extremely successful! Simply an amazing rocket!

Improved engine smoothness

Brutal steam hammer characteristic has been retained

Engine incredibly powerful - even at 180 km/h upwards

Top functioning automatic gearshift with blipper is on board

Very easy to control - even if you switch off the very well functioning electronics

Adjustable footrest system

Clear and easy-to-read 6.5 inch TFT display

Design is still a matter of taste despite optical "slimming"
