KTM 690 Duke R 2013

That the KTM 690 Duke R is the better motorbike is clear just from looking at the two machines from the outside. The Akrapovic exhaust and the WP suspension elements simply work and sound better.

The 'R' picks up where the standard Duke leaves off, or reaches its limits. On the road, the difference will only be noticeable in a home track duel, but on the racetrack it becomes particularly clear. The decisive factors here are the brakes, the adjustable chassis and the lean angle clearance. The 30 mm higher seat automatically puts you in a front-wheel racing position, gives you more feedback from the chassis and puts more pressure on the brakes. The 'R' already has everything on board that you only get with the standard version via the Track Pack - and even more. Namely the fine suspension and the Akrapovic exhaust. In return, you have to make small concessions in terms of comfort in everyday use.
