Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1390 Super Duke R 2024

The Hammer engine is certainly one of the most fundamental elements of the new 1390 Super Duke R. There is no other manufacturer that can achieve this level of performance with a V2 engine while at the same time running smoothly and complying with all emissions standards. The engine alone guarantees pure riding pleasure and enables power wheelies up to third gear with good modulation. This means that the Beast has actually been sharpened up again and offers enormous fun on the race track as well as on the road, even if you have to be extremely restrained there to avoid having to give up your licence forever.

Powerful V2 with unrivalled smoothness and responsiveness

Wide range of applications from country roads to race tracks

Good ergonomics

Outstanding stability in fast corners and under braking

Precise handling on the race track

Excellent Assistance Systems and Quickshifter

Impressive engine performance that is also suitable for everyday use

Automatic gearshift somewhat rough under partial load TC control too much even at the lowest level

Suspension of the "R" has weaknesses for racetrack use - front dips a little too much

The housings of the switch units on the handlebars give way slightly and move

Many accessories at extra cost, e.g. automatic gearshift

Wide tank restricts active riding positions somewhat

KTM 990 Duke 2025

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.

Lively and powerful engine with manners

Comfortable riding position

Playful handling

High stability

Excellent chassis with lots of feedback and stability

Modern electronics with lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS

Smooth 2-cylinder in the lower rev range without jerking

Strong acceleration in the lower rev range

Versatility for both everyday riding and sporty riding

Confident riding performance even in wet conditions

Very light and agile

High-quality display and pleasant operation of the switches
