2016 KTM 690 DUKE R
Three words: attack, control, effortless. Significantly more aggressive than the 690 Duke, the new 690 Duke R shifts its rider precisely into the position required for hitting the apex time and time again. Bent slightly forwards, with a solid foothold on the sportily positioned foot pegs, great feel and plenty of freedom of movement on the completely reworked seat. To top it all off, the engaging handlebar (840 mm wide, 38 mm rise) offers telepathic levels of control. Who knew Supermoto racing could be so relaxed? Wicked maneuvers made so easy? And still it delivers a good overview and excellent day-to-day comfort. Those who prefer racing alone can mount a rear cover over the pillion seat cushion and dismantle the passenger foot pegs. The only other thing you’ll have to bring to the track is your game face.
