KTM's lord of the wilderness, beating its mid-section with a hair-raising thunder. Wild on the substance of it, however generally as refined as the first inside. Furthermore, pressing a knockout PowerParts punch. The outcome is lightweight and appropriately customized, with an Akrapovic silencer yelling for progressively and a selective paint work shouting for consideration. From you, the supervisor.
This model update, accessible for a constrained period, treats The Beast to an entire host of top quality KTM PowerParts. An Akrapovic titanium silencer lessens the weight while including an exciting soundtrack. Wave brake circles offer far better criticism and enhanced braking soundness when the grapple drops, while stiffer triple cinches advance directing accuracy. The multi-customizable hand levers can be custom-made to your particular needs and an alternate seat improves ergonomics particularly for track use. To finish everything off, a selective paint plan, orange anodized aluminum PowerParts and carbon fiber generator and motor spreads soar your road cred into the stratosphere.
Dashboard
The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R supplies its rider with all necessary and desirable information on a state-of-the-art, clearly arranged instrument cluster from VDO. Core data is displayed on a central instrument that consists of an analogue rev counter with integrated, adjustable gearshift light and an LCD display. This display is dominated by a digital speedometer and supplemented with a digital clock, a gear indicator, bar graphs for coolant temperature and fuel level plus the display for the selected ride mode. A second LCD display is positioned to the left of the central instrument, which serves the purpose of conveying important additional information and displaying numerous menu pages as a screen for the on-board computer. Everything is tidy, clean, clear, intuitive and simple to operate – while riding as well.
Mode switch
The on-board computer's menu pages are selected and operated using the four control keys of the mode switch on the left handlebar grip. It's very simple and intuitive: "up" and "down" through the menu selection, select the desired menu item with the left button, confirm it with the right, job done! The Exit key on the left of the mode switch can be pressed at any time to return to the previous menu level. A user can learn menu navigation in no time at all.
Ergonomics
Have you ever thought about seat position? Stack and reach, leg arch length, seat height, seat foam, knee angle and knee contact, handlebar width, position and offset, the shore hardness of grip rubbers, tall riders, short riders, fat or skinny – simply everything is as it should be on the new 1290 Super Duke R. Simply get on and feel comfortable. Everyone. Male or female.
User value
Surprises are best when nobody expects them. For example, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is very economical with fuel. And it only needs to be serviced every 15,000 km. And it comes with a daytime running light as standard, amazing wind protection plus sufficient comfort for longer trips.
