Description
The 1290 Super Duke R left us thinking. What if we could match the interstellar power of The Beast with the peaceful comfort of day to day? What if we could prepare the most dynamic motorcycle without fairing ever to compete on any paved road the world has to offer? Regardless of the weather. And again. So we took out the heavy artillery, aiming for the latest in ergonomic technology, electronics, and extreme strength. The result is a long-distance V-twin rocket that stands proudly roaring at the very top of the food chain, hungry for food. For miles. The faster the better. A motorcycle equally happy to reach new horizons as to hunt down supercars. And for crushing them, not just at travel speeds. Welcome to the world of the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT, where refinement, speed and performance rule.
Based on the 1301 cc engine of the 1290 SUPER DUKE R, also known as “The Beast,” the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is clearly the Alpha in its segment.
The laser cut chrome molybdenum steel multitubular chassis, welded to the most rigorous standards, contributes to excellent chassis geometry. It is extremely stable and weighs only 9.8 kg, helping to maintain the low overall weight: 212 kg (ready to ride, no gasoline), and 228 kg with the tank completely full and Ready to Race ready to run, towards Sun.
Ergonomics have been improved with low footrests and a large tank, so that both pilot and passenger feel comfortable. And it is not an easy feat. Think about things to keep in mind: height and distance, leg arch length, seat height and padding, knee angle and contact, width, position and offset of handlebars, tall riders , short, thick or thin riders … but we have succeeded, customizing the motorcycle to your needs.
Engineered to gobble up endless miles, with optimal protection from wind and inclement weather and cutting-edge KTM signature finishes, the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is one of a kind.
Keep the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT under full control while exploiting its full potential. This is what your unique electronic systems package allows. Angle-sensitive electronics intervenes to provide maximum grip and optimal acceleration, both for traveling beyond the horizon and for chasing supercars, while the C-ABS system takes care of stopping the action instantly when necessary.
