KTM 1390 Super Duke R: Design, Features
The core structure remains a sturdy tubular steel unit, yet the additional framework has been revamped for a more compact design. This stripped-down city bike is equipped with a fully adaptable 48mm upside-down fork and a monoshock to manage suspension tasks, both crafted by WP.
The motorcycle’s braking power comes from two 320mm discs in the front and a 240mm disc in the back, equipped with Brembo Stylema calipers. It runs on 17-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Power GP tires. With a fuel capacity of 17.5 liters and a seat height of 834mm, it can handle your ride comfortably. When not fueled up, the bike weighs around 200kg.
Modern motorcycles come equipped with helpful features like lean-sensitive ABS, traction control, wheelie control, launch control, cruise control, and a two-way quickshifter. You’ll find a 5.0-inch TFT display that even has Bluetooth and a system to monitor your tire pressure. Plus, you get to choose between different modes like Performance, Track, Rain, Street, and Sport to suit your riding style.
