Evolution and adaption are critical when it comes to maintaining one’s status as the top dog. The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO is a BEAST – evolved. Boasting intuitive Semi-Active Suspension Technology (SAT), this BEAST not only adapts to the road surface but also to the rider’s inputs – making it a cold, calculated hunter. A frightening prospect for any would-be challenger.
