​KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT

​The 2025 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is a high-performance sports tourer built on the ferocious 1290 Super Duke R chassis yet tailored for long-distance comfort. Its aggressive, minimalist styling is complemented by integrated winglets and a refined fairing—signifying both its track-bred origins and its grand touring purpose. The bike preserves the raw energy of its “Beast” DNA while elevating it with touring practicality.


Dominant V-Twin Engine & Refined Electronics At its heart lies a 1,301 cc 75° V-twin engine, delivering approximately 175 hp and 141 Nm of torque from around 6,750 rpm. Advanced features such as twin-spark cylinders, lightweight titanium valves, throttle-body EFI, ride-by-wire system, and cruise control manage the power with precision. A sturdy 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and calibrated riding modes—including Sport, Street, and Rain—ensure seamless performance whether carving corners or settling into long-distance cruising.

Adaptive Chassis & Touring Comfort Cutting-edge semi-active WP suspension adapts in real-time to riding conditions, rider input, and passenger load—allowing for selectable Comfort, Street, and Sport settings, with automatic tuning by the Suspension Control Unit. A chrome-moly tubular space frame and lightweight single-sided swingarm contribute to intuitive handling and stability. Ergonomics include a sculpted seat, adjustable bars, and a 23-litre long-range fuel tank, delivering both comfort and endurance for extended rides.

Performance Features & Everyday Usability Premium braking is delivered by Brembo calipers on 320 mm front discs and a 240 mm rear disc, assisted by cornering ABS with Supermoto mode for confident stopping. The cockpit features a full-colour TFT display with navigation, tyre-pressure monitoring, and smart connectivity. At approximately 209 kg dry weight and with a seat height near 835 mm, the bike blends approachable riding posture with road-trip capability—making it equally adept on fast highways and canyon-carved backroads.
