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.
