This is our pure, wild and straight to the target record: speed. Its V-Twin, the most powerful we’ve ever ridden on an asphalt motorcycle, rattles the war drums with its 177 bhp, while its thoroughbred cycle part is designed to keep your pulse steady when you’ve just devoured the straight. When curves become your favorite prey. Even on a bad day, thanks to its advanced pilot assistance systems. No, delete that. Thanks to their fun amps!

It was fast, now it is more. This is our pure, wild and straight to the target record: speed. Its V-Twin, the most powerful we’ve ever ridden on an asphalt motorcycle, beats the war drums with its 177 bhp.

With its ultralight yet extremely stable multi-tube chassis, an exquisitely single-arm swingarm finish and advanced WP suspension components, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R exceeds all demands in terms of stability and control. The 17 ”front and rear wheels, fitted with state-of-the-art Metzeler M7RR tubeless tires, offer tremendous traction on the road, allowing you to squeeze the bike’s possibilities to the limit. Feelings? Proven. Security? Proven. Fun? Double-checked.

The powerful and refined motor allows a super sporty use or, whenever you want, a comfortable and relaxed ride, with inconceivable levels of quality in both cases. Its cycle part combines lightness with outstanding geometry and fantastic suspensions, which, together with every imaginable electronic driver assistance system, offers a driving pleasure never dreamed of under any conditions and at the speed you want, from very relaxed to very , very fast.

The razor-sharp rear section bodywork, enlarged radiator baffles, the ultralight multi-tubular chrome-molybdenum steel chassis and READY TO RACE WP suspensions turn all this raw power into a usable tool. The removal of plastic parts reaffirms its NAKED character and creates a “BEAST” always READY TO RACE.

Conquer roads and circuits with its unique image and features that help you harness the full potential of BEAST. Unrivaled braking ability signed by leading Brembo brand and assistive systems (MTC and Tilt Angle Sensitive ABS), developed in close collaboration with Bosch, complete the package and help the 1290 SUPER DUKE R take a clear lead from the same start in terms of dynamic and safe riding.
