Design and Style
KTM 1290 Super Duke R has a sharp headlight with daytime running lights and a cool exhaust design with overall stunning looks and an incredible power to weight ratio. It has a powder-coated Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel Trellis frame while the carbon fiber is used for other parts and the machine is completed by a single-sided aluminium swing arm with 50mm rear axle.
It has Bosch 9ME braking system combined with ABS and Traction Control and thus also guarantees the safety aspect and will be a light-weight bike. It also has nice low-pressure and die-cast wheels with tailor-made Metzeler M7RR tyres. It has WP suspension system which includes 48mm diameter Upside-Down forks with gas pressure reservoir at front and Monoshock Absorbers at rear.
It has a large wheelbase of 1482mm or 1497mm for a stable ride and a good ground clearance of 141mm for a bump-free ride. The seat height is 835mm while the fuel tank capacity is 18 litres. The weight of this spectacular bike without fuel is 195 kgs.
