The upcoming KTM 1290 Super Duke R has made another appearance. It has been spotted testing closely in Europe and the new spy shots reveal many details of the upgraded Austrian streetfighter.

Friday, 01 March 2024 06:13 PM The 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R Evo has been unveiled, boasting significant upgrades over its 1290 predecessor. This new model features a more potent engine with increased horsepower and torque, thanks to variable valve timing and larger throttle bodies. The bike also includes advanced WP Semi-Active Technology (SAT) suspension and a redesigned airbox for improved airflow. Service intervals have been extended to 37,000 miles, enhancing maintenance convenience. I think these updates make the 1390 Super Duke R Evo a compelling choice for those seeking both power and refinement.

The model also features a new quick-turn throttle twist grip, reduced to 65 degrees, and retains its powerful 1301cc V-twin engine producing 177 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque.
