RIDE REVIEW I 2024 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO
steering sharpens tremendously, turning the
chassis into a pure track machine. You won't want
to
ride this setting on the street—it's so stiff it'll
rattle your teeth out.
When cranked up to 11 on the suspension, it's
amazing how hard you can apply the brakes and
trail them right up to the apex. You've got a new
Brembo MCS master cylinder at your disposal,
so feel at the lever is absolutely a match for the
power you get at the caliper, and when you let the
brake off and start applying the gas, the chassis
(for the most part) stays on its chosen trajectory
and doesn't sink its ass down, taking weight off
the front and sending you wide. I say for the most
part because no algorithm is going to save you if
you ham-fist the throttle too early.
