Following the success of the DUKE RR in 2021, KTM is set to release 500 units of the 2023 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR. This new model promises the same ferocity with a meaner, darker look, making it the ultimate numbers-limited Hyper Naked motorcycle in the KTM stable.

Performance and Power

The 2023 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR boasts an impressive set of numbers:

  • Engine: 1,301 cc
  • Power: 180 hp
  • Weight: 180 kg
  • Torque: 140 Nm

With a phenomenal 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, it matches the beastly performance of its predecessor but adds a darker shadow. The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR features a gloss black and matte carbon base, contrasting white graphics, and striking orange accents. Unique custom-made components specific to the RR enhance its aggression and attitude.

Lightweight and Agile

The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR is 11 kg lighter than the standard KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO, making it a formidable machine on both the track and mountain roads. Its lightweight carbon fiber subframe creates a unique single-seat unit, while the LED taillights and turn signals incorporate KTM’s adaptive brake light as standard.

Superior Suspension and Handling

The RR is equipped with WP Suspension’s finest components, transforming it into an accomplished track day terror:

  • Front Suspension: Fully adjustable WP APEX PRO 7548 Close cartridge fork
  • Rear Suspension: Custom-made WP APEX PRO 7746 Shock
  • Steering Damper: WP APEX PRO 7117 with 30 clicks of adjustment

Additional features that set the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR apart include:

  • Akrapovič Slip-on Exhaust: For enhanced performance
  • Ultra-lightweight Forged Wheels
  • Lightweight Lithium-ion Battery
  • Adjustable CNC-machined Rearset
  • Factory Triple Clamp
  • Carbon Fiber Subframe with Single Seat
  • Unique Branded Carbon Key Box
  • Limited to 500 Units

Riders can further customize their bikes with KTM PowerParts and a dedicated range of KTM PowerWear, including a custom leather race suit with unique KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR branding.
