\u00a0<\/p>\n

Extreme look with extreme performance<\/h3>\n

The 1290 SUPER DUKE RR is KTM’s ultimate hyper-naked bike, designed to make a lasting impression.\u00a0 With its 1301 cc engine delivering 180 hp and 140 Nm of torque, as well as a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1, this bike is just as fiercely powered as its predecessor. The exclusive special model is finished in high-gloss black and matte carbon, accented by striking orange and white graphics.<\/p>\n

Unique components for more power<\/h3>\n

The KTM<\/a> 1290 SUPER DUKE RR is equipped with a range of exceptional components that have been specially manufactured for the RR and give it even more power.\u00a0 Thanks to the use of carbon in various places, the bike is 11 kg lighter than the standard KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO.\u00a0 The bike is equipped with ultra-light forged wheels and a carbon rear frame with single seat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maximum racetrack performance thanks to specially developed WP suspension system<\/h3>\n

The best components from WP Suspension are designed to make the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR an absolute highlight on the race track.\u00a0 The fully adjustable WP APEX PRO 7548 closed-cartridge front fork and the custom-built WP APEX PRO 7746 rear shock have been precisely tuned to the RR.\u00a0 The WP APEX PRO 7117 steering damper can be precisely adjusted over 30 clicks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Extensive equipment<\/h3>\n

The SUPER DUKE RR is not only powerful, but also features the most comprehensive race track electronics ever seen on a KTM motorcycle.\u00a0 The TRACK and PERFORMANCE riding modes are standard features and allow riders to adjust the electronic systems to suit their needs.\u00a0 In addition, the bike features exclusive carbon bodywork, a lightweight lithium-ion battery and a new black CTG.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Optional Akrapovi\u010d EVO rear silencer system.<\/h3>\n

Riders who want more power can purchase an optional full Akrapovi\u010d EVO rear silencer system. This offers even more bite.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Availability and extras<\/h3>\n

The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR can be ordered from selected authorized KTM dealers from March 13.\u00a0 To underline the exclusivity of the motorcycle, owners will receive a custom-made carbon box containing the keys for “THE BEAST”.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

KTM PowerParts and PowerWear<\/h3>\n

Although the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR is already extensively equipped with exclusive components and bodywork, riders can optionally order what they need from an extensive range of specially developed KTM PowerParts and from their own selection of KTM PowerWear.\u00a0 The specially manufactured leather suit, for example, features unique KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR logos and corresponding design.<\/p>\n
