    KTM 1390 Super Duke R details

    The 1390 Super Duke R is powered by a newly developed 1,350cc V-twin engine that produces a peak output of 190hp at 10,000rpm and 145Nm at 8,000rpm. It has features like an advanced traction control, launch control, wheelie control, multiple ride modes and a bi-directional quickshifter. Suspension duties are taken care of by a WP USD fork at the front and a WP monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, braking is taken care of by a set of dual 320mm discs at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear.


    In terms of design, the 1390 Super Duke R looks muscular and aggressive with a sharp LED headlamp, a 17.5-litre tank, angular lines and minimal bodywork. The 1390 Super Duke R has a seat height of 834mm and tips the scales at 200kg (without fuel). This bike will be available at all new KTM flagship stores in seven cities, starting with Bangalore and Pune.

    Demo mode

    It is worth noting that KTM will be selling these with the 'Demo mode' which is a pay to enable feature. KTM promotes demo mode as an opportunity to test out optional features while riding, allowing riders to decide which ones they want or don’t need, rather than making those choices in a dealership without any riding experience. This feature will allow you to experience all electronic aids and features for the first 1500km after which riders will have to pay to keep the features they like. This includes features like multiple ride modes, including an optional Rally mode, traction control and slide control, a quickshifter for both up and downshifts, and cruise control, among other features. These features can be unlocked permanently at the dealership at a certain price. However, these prices haven’t yet been revealed by KTM.

    All prices mentioned above are ex-showroom, India
