The KTM 1290 Super Duke got another variant in the form of the GT at EICMA 2015
KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT
The incredibly wide operational range of the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is not the least a result of its comprehensive equipment with riding assistance and safety systems. It includes the ground breaking stability control MSC which ensures that the C-ABS anti-lock brakes and the traction control MTC are controlled with respect to lean angles, meaning they keep working even while cornering. This way, within the physical limits, MSC prevents the wheels from slipping when accelerating or braking while leaned over. In addition, several ride modes for different uses are available that influence engine response, traction control, ABS action and damping. Then there is the standard equipment of the 1290 SUPER DUKE GT with an electronic cruise control, a quickshifter for upshifting, a tire pressure monitoring system, heated grips, LED cornering lights combined with LED indicators with automatic reset. A 23-liter fuel tank, the extended rear subframe with integrated mounts for the optional pannier system, comfortable seats and effective wind and weather protection including a height adjustable windshield provide appropriate long distance capabilities. In addition, the optional Hill Hold Control (HHC) and Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) are available, the latter of which prevents the rear wheel from losing grip, should the rider chop the throttle or dump the clutch when downshifting.
