KTM is currently making the transition from off-road motorcycle specialist to full-range provider. The KTM 990 Super Duke is a crucial project for luring new road-riding target groups to the KTM brand. The Super Duke is a radical road bike with minimalist equipment and a subtle reinterpretation of KTM's off-road visual language. The aim of the design is to transfer the KTM genotype to the road and simultaneously differentiate itself from the traditional styling of the naked bike segment. The basis of the Super Duke is the KTM 950 Adventure, giving the makers access to a wide range of existing components, such as mask, spoiler, tank and seat. The exhaust is extremely short and compact, giving the bike a beefy, aggressive look.
