We like to avoid talking about motorbikes as utility vehicles, but the NC 750 S is so useful that it makes that word likeable again. The storage compartment under the dummy tank is still unique and an ingenious feature of this naked bike that shines not with sportiness and action, but with almost perfect function and usability. With the additional riding modes, the DCT now works even better. A motorbike, not for stunt riders, but for city and country riders.

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.

Monstrous engine and torque

wide rev range

little vibration
