The totally single-minded "R" version of the Super Duke is the flagship model of KTM's Naked Bike range in MY2012. Rated at a plentiful 125hp, the newly homologated LC8 V-twin engine delivers a solid punch and incomparable liveliness. The sharper trellis frame makes for maximum agility with its sporting “R” geometry and only nine kilograms of weight. The special “R” chassis ensures a high-resolution feedback about the road surface with its precisely adjustable WP steering damper and top quality suspension components.

First rate equipment like the machined, black anodized triple clamps, radial brake and clutch levers or the high quality Brembo brakes with radial four-pot front callipers elevate this Superbike among the Naked Bikes and ensure intuitive operation. Massive
power and perfect control right up to the limit make the 990 Super Duke R the ultimate nemesis of hypersport bikes on race tracks. And not just there. Weightless agility, incisive precision and an optimised suspension set-up let the "R" score on public roads, too. A
riding experience that can now be shared, thanks to the new dual seat. For a Duke rarely comes alone.
