KTM
Press Release (11.8.2016)
It is with great pleasure that we introduce the 2017 KTM 390 DUKE,
the sharpest power-to-weight weapon in the small NAKED class, and
the extensively upgraded KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R. Building off the
success of the ADVENTURE range released in Cologne, Italy last
month, KTM
continues to increase the versatility and performance of each
individual bike, ensuring that everybody is able to find just the
right KTM for their specific requirements.
KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R - THE BEAST 2.0 - NOTHING BUT THE BEST

Every part was reconsidered to perform on and off the
racetrack for a truly READY TO RACE motorcycle. The innovative
construction of the new LED headlight ensures that no unnecessary
additional parts or weight are added. The new multifunctional
TFT-dashboard displays all important information in a clear and
bright display. A tremendous power-to-weight ratio ensures a
dominating performance in any situation. The 1290 SUPER
DUKE R now bristles with more power thanks to reworked cylinder
head and intake, while new electronic features allow for
class-leading rideability and convenience.
KTM 390 DUKE - CORNER ROCKET

New, aggressive
styling proclaims that the 390 DUKE
is a READY TO RACE naked motorcycle with the performance and
handling to back it up. The bodywork is sharp and modern with a
slammed, predatory stance. Up front, a new LED headlight and
bright, full-color TFT digital dash boast features not found in
this class of motorcycle. At the rear, an exposed bolt-on subframe
sits below the redesigned seat and pillion. A new form-fitting
3.5-gallon steel fuel tank increases the 390 DUKE's range. Putting
the power to the ground is now smoother and more controllable than
ever before thanks to the new ride-by-wire throttle. That power,
combined with a steel trellis frame, a new 43 mm WP upside-down
fork and a larger, more powerful 320 mm front brake rotor take the
ride to the next level.
