KTM is back for model year 2017 with the recently unveiled KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, and it’s everything we hoped for in a successor to The Beast. This upgraded model comes complete with a split LED headlight, LC8 V-twin engine rocking 177hp, KTM performance pack upgrades like Motor Slip Regulation, Quickshifter and KTM My Ride pack that links with your smartphone—along with an Akrapovič silencer, wave brake discs and slick ergonomics—to create a stunning bike that is equal parts prize and performance. This is a performance bike that you won’t feel bad about riding the corner.
