2016 EICMA Motorcycle Show: The 2017 KTM Super Duke R Is Here
“From the 125 to 1301cc, each and every model punches out the true core values of KTM and the attitude of DUKE.”
Back
in
2014,
KTM
launched
the
1290
Super
Duke
R
and
it
became
the
king
of
the
super
naked
market.
Stefan
Pierer,
KTM
CEO
said
at
the
EICMA
2016,
"The
DUKE
brand
is
how
KTM
really
hit
the
street
22
years
ago
and
for
the
model
year
2017
this
sub-brand
really
comes
out
fighting.
"From the 125 to 1301cc, each and every model punches out the true core values of KTM and the attitude of DUKE. To underline the importance of this range of naked machines, with the 790 DUKE prototype we can give you a look into the future and an all-new source of power from KTM."
So, we are talking about the refreshed version of the insanely stunning 1290 Super Duke R. The new model sports a new LED headlight and daytime running lights like the company's new adventure motorcycles.
The motorcycle also gets a new body work. The design of the fuel tank and air intakes is now sharper.
The handlebars are now wider and placed lower and further forward, to give the rider a committed position and better handling for sports riding.
Speaking of the engine, an updated 1,301cc LC8 V-Twin engine producing 177bhp, which is 7bhp more than the outgoing model.
For better refinement, KTM shortened the velocity stacks 10 mm to widen the powerband. The motorcycle comes equipped with an array of features such as Brembo monobloc brakes, MSC with Bosch cornering ABS, WP suspension, an optional, two-way quick shifter, and a multifunctional TFT display.
