Commitment is the final ingredient to power ahead of the pack.FINER-TUNEDEngineRemaining at 947 cc, the R version's parallel twin LC8c motor produces additional horsepower and torque thanks to improved mapping to unleash its power from within, creating an adrenaline-pumping experience that comes courtesy of being the most compact twin in class. Based upon the KTM 990 DUKE platform already in the line-up, the results speak for themselves. Put simply, the best just got even better.FORM MEETS FUNCTIONErgonomicsTougher than any of its predecessors, the R brings with it a bolder stance. A 15 mm higher seat height and with that same amount of extra ground clearance, it's designed to feel as compact as it can be, while accomodating a wide range of riders, and the result is the most lightweight, agile, performance-focused mid-class Naked.HITTING THE APEXFrameTorsional stiffness and rider feel were prioritized when developing the KTM 990 DUKE's tubular frame, which also forms the foundations of the R version. It's built with a sport-orientated personality, with both agility and stability combining to make for an immersive riding experience. An updated linkage mounting point has been introduced, without affecting the bike's value of stiffness. It also packs an aluminum die-cast subframe, which integrates side air intakes for form and function.
