KTM 1390 Super Duke R 2024

The Hammer engine is certainly one of the most fundamental elements of the new 1390 Super Duke R. There is no other manufacturer that can achieve this level of performance with a V2 engine while at the same time running smoothly and complying with all emissions standards. The engine alone guarantees pure riding pleasure and enables power wheelies up to third gear with good modulation. This means that the Beast has actually been sharpened up again and offers enormous fun on the race track as well as on the road, even if you have to be extremely restrained there to avoid having to give up your licence forever.

Powerful V2 with unrivalled smoothness and responsiveness

Wide range of applications from country roads to race tracks

Good ergonomics

Outstanding stability in fast corners and under braking

Precise handling on the race track

Excellent Assistance Systems and Quickshifter

Impressive engine performance that is also suitable for everyday use

Automatic gearshift somewhat rough under partial load TC control too much even at the lowest level

Suspension of the "R" has weaknesses for racetrack use - front dips a little too much

The housings of the switch units on the handlebars give way slightly and move

Many accessories at extra cost, e.g. automatic gearshift

Wide tank restricts active riding positions somewhat

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.
