KTM 1290 Super Duke R Peaks Peak Racer
The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is meaner than ever and heavily
updated for 2017. Immediately distinguished by its new LED
headlight, the bike has more focus on engine, electronics and
chassis performance.
With a mountain of torque and peak power now at 177 hp, the 1,301 cc LC8
V-twin engine is the benchmark for naked sportsters. Titanium inlet valves and
new combustion chambers make for an increased compression ratio, while shortened
intake funnels and an exhaust flap with a smart actuator system result in the
smoothest, widest power band ever on a KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R.
Looking at the chassis, the torsionally rigid WP split forks with separate
damping circuits receive stiffer springs and a sportier setup. At the rear, the
WP shock absorber also gets a stiffer fork spring and a setup set for high speed
excellence. From the rider's seat, the cutting-edge TFT display and illuminated
menu switch on the handlebar are among the most distinctive innovations. The
goal? To get the required information at every speed. For example, a variety of
visualizations support the rider with information on an implicit level, and
operating the electronic systems becomes more intuitive than ever.
Also new and optional, the Track Pack takes care of a scorching take-off
via launch control. It also includes the new MTC spin adjuster, which is finely
adjustable in nine stages to allow the rider for example to instantly respond to
fading tires during a race and stay at the top of the time sheets. The freely
configurable engine maps of the integrated 'Track' ride mode include an
additional, even more aggressive mapping, and the anti-wheelie mode may be
disengaged.
