KTM only exposed the patent registration of the 1290 Super Duke RR at the end of 2020. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, the road test spy photos of the Super Duke were captured. From the photos, the Super Duke body uses a lot of carbon fiber. , Not only looks more aggressive, but also reduces a lot of weight for the body.
KTM Super Duke uses a large number of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, etc. in the body. It can also be seen from the photo that the fuel tank shell, front fender and seat underside panel are all replaced with carbon fiber For the outer shell, it is rumored that the RR version has reduced the weight of the whole car by about 9 kg, and the weight of the whole car is expected to fall around 180 kg.
Assuming that the rumors are true, the Super Duke will come to an amazing horsepower-to-weight ratio of 1 horse to 1 kg, but it is still unknown whether the engine part will be better than the general version. If the horsepower is increased further , The balance of horsepower to weight ratio will become even more terrifying.
Foreign media said that the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR will be officially released at the end of March at the earliest. Judging from the time when the spy photos were exposed, this calculation seems reasonable. In addition, it will be launched in a limited edition of 500 units. There is no price information so far, but judging from the large number of high-priced lightweight materials used in the whole car, it will definitely be much more expensive than the general version.
