Overview[edit | edit source]
KTM 1290 Super Duke Special Edition
KTMs king of the jungle, beating its chest with a
hair-raising rumble. Wild on the face of it, but just as refined as
the original within. And packing a knockout PowerParts punch. The
result is lightweight and tailor-made, with an Akrapovic silencer
howling for more and an exclusive paint job screaming for attention.
From you, the boss. This model upgrade, only available for a limited
period, treats The Beast to a whole host of top quality KTM
PowerParts.
Another contribution to optimum
deceleration is delivered by ergonomically perfect controls. The KTM
1290 Super Duke R Special Edition carries levers adjustable in
several parameters. Length and distance to the handlebars of the
clutch and hand brake levers can be adjusted to the riders hand
size and preference. Machined from high strength aluminum, the
levers also fold upwards, which means they do not break easily,
should a ground contact take place. Lever guards as seen
in professional racing afford them even more protection from damage
while avoiding unintentional deployment by contact with other riders
or machines in close fights on the race track.
Another part specially optimized for
sport use is the two-part seat, even though it offers a lot of
comfort thanks to its cushion made of special foam with exactly
defined pores. The front part lets the rider sit two millimeters higher
and offers improved contact to the bike thanks to its narrower
front.
In tough race track use, occasional
ground contact of exposed motorcycle parts cannot always be avoided.
In order to protect the most exposed portions of the LC8 power pack,
the 1290 Super Duke R Special Edition generator and clutch covers
carry highly resilient protectors made of up to five millimeters
of carbon/kevlar mix.
High quality, great looking PowerParts
also distinguish the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Special Edition
visually from the standard version, further enhanced by its bespoke
graphics and the paint finish in Galvano Orange.
The1290 Super Duke R Special Edition
silencer has been jointly developed by KTM and Akrapovič. The
slip-on that gives this bike its unmistakable sound is made of
titanium, saving 1.5 kg of weight toward the original. The standard
mapping of the electronic engine management remains unaltered
despite the greater muffler flowrate.
More weight is saved by the caps of
the clutch, rear brake and front brake reservoirs which are milled
from the solid. The orange anodized finish of the high strength
aluminum parts also adds some small but very smart pieces
