2021 1290 Super Duke GT KTM Super Tourer Review Specs

The 2021 1290 Super Duke GT KTM Super Tourer combines the KTM 1290 Super Duke R’s interplanetary V-twin performance with the comfort and equipment needed for an all-day, two-up charge – but with additional enhancements, refinement, and features.

2021 1290 Super Duke GT KTM Super Tourer – Features and Price

Engine & Exhaust

Cylinder head

The unit’s state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads are a vital component in the 1301cc 75 ° V-exceptional twin’s performance and smooth response. For the smoothest twins in town, they combine twin plug ignition, flow ports, lightweight titanium valves, and resonator chambers.

Crankshaft

The low reciprocating weight of the crankshaft aids the 2021 1290 Super Duke GT KTM Super Tourer’s engine response and independent rowing feature.

Twin ignition

The twin-plug ignition system independently controls two differently sized spark plugs in each cylinder head, resulting in a more efficient combustion and smoother, properly organized combustion setting. As a result, there is more power, better control, less fuel consumption, and less pollution.

Ride-by-wire

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT’s ride-by-wire technology goes up and beyond. It analyzes throttle twist grip movements with the help of electronic sensors. It operates throttle valves using servo motors by electronically converting throttle orders to ideal throttle valve settings for the current riding environment. It results in a smoother throttle response, which reduces the chances of low revolutions and unintentional wheels. Voluntary front-wheel drive, on the other hand, maybe a thing of the past.

Slipper clutch

The sleeper clutch not only opens when the engine’s back torque is too high, but it also helps when you increase the throttle. Reduces the erratic rear wheel noise by applying the front brakes or decreases rapidly, while the latter reduces the force of the hand needed to shift the gear, giving the clutch a single trigger hip that a finger can handle.

Pistons

The pistons of the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT were designed using Formula 1 technology. Despite its straightforward and lightweight design, the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT’s forged piston construction results in greater loading capacity. In addition, piston skirts are strictly anodized to a high standard. It reduces friction, but it is also tough to wear, which has a good effect on durability.

Exhaust

The exhaust system, an all-new 2021 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT, is rust-proof stainless steel and is Euro 4 certified. Hundreds of test bench runs and intricate simulations have shown that the exhaust system, which uses the exhaust flap, plays a vital role in the powerful twin-incredibly smooth torque curve of the cylinder and good emission values. And did we forget to mention the sound? When it murmurs at low rpm, when it reaches the upper notes, it will take your breath away.

Engine

The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT’s Beast-derived power train completes its traditional design. It is a superbike killer and a coastal road cruiser with 175 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque. A combination of high-quality components, such as titanium intake valves, has also contributed to the overall dependence and service intervals of over 15,000 km. It’s a long journey!

Chassis

Subframe

The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT’s subtitle is designed to support a plane and full-loaded panners, and it checks many necessary hyper-touring boxes.

Steering Damper

If the rider has been riding for a while, you’ll have to go through a long truck stretch. With a highly reliable and sensitive WP steering damper, the uncomfortable kickback through the bars is significantly reduced, which is standard on the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT.

Wheels

The Pirelli Angel GTs mounted on the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT provide an ideal touring and sporting features. These tubeless sport touring tires are mounted on alloy rims made using the low-pressure die-casting method. These lightweight wheels make the bike lighter, but they also reduce undivided masses and moments of engagement for better and safer handling.

Brakes

Two radially mounted four-piston monoblock calipers provide a very affordable clamping floating 320mm disc in the front wheel. The distance between the handlebar and the handbrake lever can be adjusted so that the lever always reaches all the riders quickly. The front brakes are effectively supported by the rear disc brakes, which have a 240 mm diameter disc and two-piston calipers. Thanks to its sportily adjusted anti-lock braking system, the tremendous braking capability can be fully realized. ABS even has a supermoto setting when you want to take it back while on vacation.

Fuel tank

With the low fuel consumption of a 1290 V twin-engine, a 23-liter long-range petrol tank allows easy recreational travel of hundreds of kilometers without worrying about finding a fuel station. An essential feature for traveling in remote areas. The petrol tank also protects the rider’s lower torso from wind and rain, providing extra comfort after miles.

Frame

The name removes the game. The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is designed for fast and comfortable long-distance travel. The 2021 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is the best travel companion because of its ergonomics, electrically adjustable suspension, and excellent tank range.

Ergonomics & Comfort

Heated grips

The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT includes warm grips that increase overall comfort.

Footpegs

Riders can adjust the brakes and shift levers in three settings to accommodate different boot sizes or to discover their ideal shifting or braking preference.

Windshield

A windscreen design protects the rider from the elements while also reducing wind noise at high speeds. An improved windshield adjuster is also designed, allowing riders to rotate the windscreen in 9 different positions while maintaining one hand on the throttle.

Handlebar

The handlebars, perhaps the most essential component of the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT, provide the rider with complete control, from modest steering inputs to modification of suspension and ride modes at the click of a button. Even the handlebars are multi-adjustable, with a movement of about 22 mm and four different settings. But most importantly, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is equipped with a warm grip.

Bodywork & Graphics

LED cornering lights

The cornering lights are made inside the petrol tank of the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT. It consists of three LED segments activated by the LAN angle sensor of the MSc system. Depending on the lean angle, the new KTM Cornering Light can use all three components, giving the rider an uninterrupted view of where he is going. The LED indicators are integrated into the corner lights, giving the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT a distinct and distinctive look.

Dashboard

The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT includes a full color, tail-adjustable 6.5 ′ TFT dashboard derived from the KTM 1290 Super Adventure.
