DUKE R
Attached to that is a longer
swingarm that's mounted closer
to the output sprocket and with
its pivot shaft 5mm higher for
better stability and anti-squat
when hard on the gas.
The suspension is all-new
with a 48mm WP APEX fork and
APEX shock with a revised link-
age. Lighter forged aluminum
wheels are an all-new design;
triple clamps, too, are lighter
with a 32mm offset.
On the electronics side,
KTM's Motorcycle Stability
Control system comes equipped
with an IMU and Cornering ABS
with Supermoto mode (ABS on
the front but not the rear), lean
angle sensitive traction control,
motor slip regulation, but a
quickshifter is an optional extra.
KTM's got a couple of dif-
ferent packages for the Super
Duke in the Track Mode, which
includes launch control, quick-
shifter, nine-level TC, track
throttle mode and rear-wheel lift
control; the Performance Pack
gets the quickshifter and MSR
(motor slip regulation), and both
packs come with the option of
the KTM MY RIDE Bluetooth
setup to pair your phone with
the brand-new TFT dash. CN
