KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2022

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2022

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.

brutal performance

accessible handling

fully adjustable and stable chassis

high quality standard tyres

comfortable seating position

acceptable fuel consumption.

Full equipment wants to be paid for

fiddly indicator operation

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX 2025

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX 2025

The Speed Triple 1200 RX is once again a pure naked bike and not a slimmed-down supersports bike. It is a high-quality evolution of the Speed Triple concept, but one that consciously seeks the middle ground between these worlds - and sets its own accents in the process. It is also aimed at those riders who generally enjoy riding supersports, but who no longer have the suffering capacity to really sit on a supersports bike in everyday life or on the race track. It offers supersport character with a reasonably relaxed riding position - a balancing act that works remarkably well.

Excellent electronic Öhlins suspension with a wide adjustment range

confidence-inspiring riding performance even in adverse conditions

flawless engine response

precise anti-hopping clutch

versatile from comfortable to sporty

Front Wheel Lift Control with practical 4 adjustment levels

high equipment quality

good feedback from front and rear wheel

light weight of 199 kg wet weight

sporty riding position with low clip-on handlebars

great stability in fast corners

good feel for the front in tight hairpins thanks to electronic steering damper

precise control in anti-wheelie passages

Limited steering angle for manoeuvring manoeuvres

inadequate splash protection in the rain

somewhat stiff clutch

knee angle too wide for taller riders when touring longer distances
