FIRST LOOK: 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT

KTM has just taken the wraps off the updated 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT.

Although the 1290 Super Duke GT makes the same 175hp and 139.6Nm from its Euro5, 1,301cc L-Twin, the bike now offers better touring capabilities.

The wheels are 1kg lighter to help improve turning, braking and acceleration performance.

The 1290 Super Duke GT also features a 22L tank enough to get you going for hundreds of kilometres before stopping for gas.

Interestingly, the 2022 Super Duke also gets a new WP APEX semi-active suspension, allowing riders to adjust the front fork and rear suspension accordingly by accessing the new 7-inch TFT instrument cluster.

The GT also debuted a new turn-by-turn navigation system via the KTM Connect app, which allows navigation instructions to be projected directly onto the TFT display.

We can assume that the new function will soon be available on most of KTM’s wide range of models.
