KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art. Even the looks are now pleasing more and more critics. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for the ingenious shift assistant with blipper.

wonderfully powerful engine with a lot of bang - especially from below and in the middle

super-agile and comfortable seating position

decent braking power

stable chassis, fully adjustable

comprehensive electronics package

acceptable consumption for the high power.

Shift assistant with blipper not standard

The Ducati Hypermotard 939 is a real Hollywood star that has already starred in 21 films and TV series. Even on the set of the 2018 naked bike comparison, its looks stole the show from most bikes. As befits a Hollywood starlet, however, the Ducati can be a little bitchy from time to time. For example, it's hard to start off when cold, and its soft forks also make it a little nervous in fast corners. But when you conquer the bull, the feelings of happiness are indescribable and you are rewarded with a wonderful V2 Testastretta sound. Perhaps the biggest drawback: its outdated LCD display, which doesn't fit in at all with the Italian design composition.

engine full of character

lots of torque

terrific sound

beautiful looks

star potential at the motorbike meeting

fun supermoto with lots of technology.

Fork too soft

high seat
