Friday, 11 August 2023 05:00 AM

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R seems to be undergoing a cosmetic revision for 2023, based on the latest spy shots emerging on the internet. While the overall outline of the Beast looks similar to the current-gen bike. It might be possible that the rear brake light is now integrated into the turn indicators, similar to what was seen on the 1290 Super Duke RR.

 

Wednesday, 14 August 2024 06:48 AM The 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO has been praised for its enhanced electronic suspension, which features WP Semi-Active Technology (SAT) that automatically adapts to the riders input and road surface. This technology provides faster response times and includes modes like Auto, Comfort, Rain, Street, and optional Track and Pro Modes. I think this level of adjustability makes the bike incredibly versatile for various riding conditions.

Saturday, 29 June 2024 09:47 PM KTM has introduced a new engine for the 2024 Super Duke R EVO, increasing the displacement to 1350cc with a larger bore of 110mm and massive 60mm throttle bodies. This results in substantial torque and mental acceleration. The bike now produces 190 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 106 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm. I believe this power boost makes it one of the most potent naked bikes on the market.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 10:34 AM The 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO features a predatory LED headlight with signature daytime running lights that adjust intensity based on ambient light conditions. The headlight also includes an automatic low beam and a welcoming animation display when turned on. The bikes design is more aggressive, with a new tank design and aero winglets. I think the new headlight design gives the bike a menacing look that matches its performance.

The bike comes with multiple ride modes, including Rain, Street, Sport, and optional Track and Performance modes. Additionally, the Suspension Pro Pack offers advanced features like auto-leveling and anti-dive settings. I believe these features make the bike highly adaptable to different riding styles.

Saturday, 01 June 2024 05:33 PM The 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO boasts a sleeker and more muscular bodywork, inspired by its ancestral KTM 990 SUPER DUKE colors from 2005. The bike features fully adjustable shifting and braking controls, along with the option for a reverse shift pattern and shift lever throw. I think the new design elements enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the bike.

Monday, 20 May 2024 05:30 AM KTMs 2024 Super Duke R EVO includes advanced electronics such as Cornering ABS by Bosch, KTMconnect Bluetooth smartphone integration, and optional packs like the Tech Pack, which combines Motor Slip Regulation (MSR), Quickshifter+, Track Pack, and Suspension Pro.
