The radically designed KTM 1290 Super Duke R has been unveiled and all the specs has been spilled. This machine is sure looking like a beast with that big 1,301cc engine wrapped in the beautiful KTM orange Trellis frame. It can propel the bike to 200km/h in just 7.2secs. The engine is in V-twin configuration at 75-degree angle that can extract 180hp with 144Nm of torque with 100Nm already available at 1,000RPM. That is wild!
The introduction of this beast will definitely satisfy riders that are hungry for more power from a bike with a great muscular look. By the look of it, KTM have a winner in their lineup.
