KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art. Even the looks are now pleasing more and more critics. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for the ingenious shift assistant with blipper.

Experienced motorcyclists know exactly: 180 hp sounds good, but more than 100 hp has never been necessary for a typical Sunday ride. I don't think I need to recommend the Supermoto R to press riders. In these circles, it has long been considered the fastest motorbike on the market.
