Pros and Cons in comparison

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 1290 Super Duke R 2015

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is undoubtedly a beast in terms of its data - 173 hp, 144 Newton metres of torque, 189 kilos dry weight are values with which you can make an impression on the quarter mile. It's almost a miracle that the Austrian is so easy to handle and agile despite its 1301 cubic capacity. On the country road it is therefore enormous fun, but on the race track you have to have a very precise riding style in order not to have to work a lot on the Super Duke R - but admittedly a very nice form of work! In addition, the expensive Special Edition can fully score visually with its many power parts and the beautiful paintwork
