KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2018

With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.
