By KTM officially Revealed the new 1390 Super Duke R as the replacement of 1290. At the core of this beast is the newly engineered LC8 1350cc, 2-cylinder engine, delivering a staggering 188 BHP and 145 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, coupled with a slipper clutch for precision.
The 1390 Super Duke R captivates with its striking aesthetics, boasting dual LED headlamps accompanied by distinctive V-shaped LED daytime running lights on each side. The muscular stance is accentuated by aggressive tank extensions and a stepped seat, making it an irresistible presence on the road.

The bike’s suspension system comprises an upside-down front fork with 125 mm of travel and a rear mono-shock, delivering a smooth and controlled ride. The braking prowess is equally impressive, featuring dual 320 mm discs with Brembo Stylema calipers at the front and a single 240 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper at the rear.
Packed with cutting-edge features, the 1390 Super Duke R offers a multitude of riding modes, a lean-sensitive traction control system, a digital instrument console, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), among other advanced functionalities.
