The 2019 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT has arrived in Malaysia. KTM engineers made the new bike smoother and refined, while retaining its big performance character.
The highlights are:
Smoother engine power delivery:
- The latest-generation 1301cc 75o LC8 V-Twin engine is revised further for a smoother ride.
- KTM added new resonator chambers, titanium inlet valves and a new mapping.
- The revisions netted the same 173 hp and 141 Nm of torque.
- But the engine is now smoother in low RPM and provides power everywhere.
- The optional Quickshifter+ function can be added for effortless upshifts and downshifts with auto-blipper function.
New TFT screen:
- New and improved 6.5-inch TFT screen.
- The award-winning full-colour screen is visible even in direct sunlight.
- Scrolling through the menus is easily performed through the illuminated menu switch on the left handlebar.
- The cruise control switch was moved to the left handlebar, also.
- KTM RACE ON remote key system, which allows keyless operation of the bike.
Lean-angle sensitive traction control:
- IMU-assisted lean-angle motorcycle stability control (MSC) with combined ABS.
- The IMU also allows for the cornering lights feature.
- The rider can add the optional “Track” mode to unlock the full capabilities of the LC8 engine and chassis.
- Also optional are hill hold control (HHC) and motor slip regulation (MSR).
Latest WP semi-active suspension:
- The new sensors analyse more parameters now to adapt quickly and correctly to changing surface conditions.
- The suspension’s preload (ride height and chassis balance) to suit rider, passenger and cargo weight can be adjusted via the push of a button.
- The rider can also choose his preferred damping rate: Comfort, Street and Sport.
New styling:
- The 2019 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT now features the instantly recognizable DUKE family “face.”
- The central aluminium heatsink includes six ultra-bright LEDs.
- Additional LEDs are utilized for daytime running lights (DRL).
- There are also LEDs embedded in the fuel tank’s flanks to provide cornering lights to illuminate the inside of corners.
New KTM MY RIDE:

- Navigation audio prompts in 5 languages via a separate app.
- Other functions allow the rider to scroll through his favourite music playlist, besides receiving or rejecting phone calls.
