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.

- 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.
