KTM 890 Duke R 2020

The KTM 890 Duke R appears playful, handy but with high-quality equipment. The engine and weight are reminiscent of much smaller motorbikes. The power unit revs up lively and hangs directly on the throttle. The bike turns easily and rides light-footed. Braking and the electronics package, however, are in the big league. Therefore, the 890 Duke is a fast and cool bike for country roads and racetracks.

Great electronics package

High-quality brakes

Extensively adjustable chassis

High-revving engine

Playful handling

Slightly nervous tendencies - loose sitting position necessary
