690 DUKE R ABS

THE ESSENCE OF MOTORCYCLING...

Back then, KTM revived the pure, unadulterated single-cylinder motorcycle in the form of the ""original"" Duke. Judging by the latest 690 Duke that stands before us today, much has been gained: smoothness, room for a pillion passenger, long-distance ability. But what it has never lost, is its intensive and elemental ride dynamics. The most cutting-edge series production single-cylinder of our times and a precision chassis with a wealth of outstanding components turn every trip on the 690 Duke into an incomparable and unforgettable riding experience. In 2015 KTM 690 Duke is coming with 2 new graphic styles!

Low fuel consumption

Strapping, yet refined single-cylinder

Fun and safe riding for everybody

Dynamic cornering fun

INJECTION

Thanks to the mechanical and electrical refinements, the new 690 Duke uses even less fuel than ever. Even though the last Duke had already won international consumption comparison test rides with ease. Duke riding will therefore be even more economical and environmentally friendly, while remaining unashamedly fleet-footed, sporty and dynamic.

ENGINE

The new Duke is equipped with the latest version of the legendary LC4: a whole 690 cm³ of displacement, twin ignition featuring plug-selective mapping for the best and most effective combustion, plus extended service intervals of 10,000 km and even less fuel consumption – never has it been as elegant, cultivated, sporty and effective to be powered by one cylinder. And never has the need for more cylinders been more questionable. 50 kW (68 PS) provide, thanks also to ride-by-wire, extremely powerful and free-revving thrust at all engine speeds, hence making light work of the equally lightweight 690 Duke. It has adopted such well-known standard production goodies such as active engine casing ventilation and the slipper clutch that effectively prevents rear wheel chatter when down-shifting hard.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT / RIDE-BY-WIRE

The electronic engine management system always gets optimum performance out of the ingenious LC4 engine. More advanced technology than ever is taken advantage of in 2012 for this purpose: Twin ignition with individual mapping for each spark plug ensures that the mixture is always burned effectively, irrespective of load and engine speed. And then genuine ride-by-wire, in other words: electronically controlled throttle valve actuation without any mechanical linkage. So that the electronics always apply the power as perfectly and therefore smoothly as possible, above all on transition from throttle closed to throttle open. How good does that feel? Simply indescribable. So check it out!

BALANCER SHAFT

The finely balanced crank drive of the 690 single-cylinder converts terrific combustion pressure into unrivalled single-power - thanks to its balancer shaft, which eliminates vibration even better than ever without having any detrimental effect on the life of the super-single.

CENTRALISATION OF MASSES

The Duke not only impresses with low weight and perfect chassis geometry; the centralisation of masses - for example, by positioning the brushed stainless steel pre-silencer under the engine - also contributes to its playful handling and razor-sharp precision.

SUITABLE FOR A2 DRIVER´S LICENSE HOLDER

A restricted power version is available for those riders who just got an A2 driver´s license. Restricted power doesn´t necessary means restricted fun: thanks to its lightweight and dynamic chassis KTM 690 Duke is the perfect buddy to push your limit.

ABS

The disengageable dual-circuit ABS system with 9M+ modulator tuned in cooperation with Bosch offers total protection against over-braking, while maintaining the full effect and perfect feedback of a genuine sports brake thanks to very fine sensors. Weighing no more than one kilogramme, the ABS system therefore allows extremely sporty braking. And prevents loop-outs actively and effectively.

SUSPENSION COMPONENTS

Well-equipped for every situation: The WP upside-down fork on the Duke with a 43 mm upright tube diameter and the pivot-arm articulated WP pressurised-gas monoshock excel with perfect tuning and an unbelievably broad spectrum of use for all demands, from relaxed cruising to racing around closed circuits.

BRAKES

The Duke's extremely powerful and easily applied Brembo® brakes impress with outstanding controllability. At the front wheel, a radially-mounted, four-piston, fixed brake calliper bites onto a floating, 320 mm brake disc.

ERGONOMICS

The new 690 Duke inherits many of the benefits of its predecessor: for example, the low weight of less than 150 kg, the first-class handling and the outstanding brakes. Particularly pleasant is the place of work on the two-piece seat: Comfortable while still being set up for all dynamic riding situations, because the gathered sitting position and freedom of movement behind the ideally angled, wide aluminium handlebar provide perfect support for controlling the bike.

FRAME AND SWINGARM

Lightweight components in a large, lightweight entirety: The 9 kg lightweight tubular space frame made from chrome-molybdenum steel and the 4 kg lightweight, high-quality, pin-jointed, die-cast swingarm impress with extreme levels of torsional stiffness, providing the less than 150 kg 690 Duke with excellent tracking stability.

Reviews Reviews These top-quality tires provide outstanding ride characteristics and endless grip from from, whether on a wet country road or a Scorching hot racetrack , With a decent service life, they support the unique qualities of the KTM chassis at all times.

LINKAGE

The progressiveness of the linkage Provides the shock absorber with refined responsiveness and still with sufficient reserves at peak loads. The position of the swingarm can be adjusted to the rider's riding style and weight by the easily accessible eccentric adjuster on the linkage, and squatting on acceleration can be prevented.

TELESCOPIC FORK

The high-quality upside-down fork from WP Suspension can be adjusted separately to preload as well as to compression and rebound damping of the suspension. Their adjustment ranges extend from the country road comfort to tough racing conditions. In addition, a WP steering damper keeps the forks on track, even under extreme conditions.

SETTING OPTIONS

The KTM RC8 R not only offers extraordinarily relaxed ergonomics for all its supreme sportiness, but Also more ergonomic setting options than any other series production bikes. Footrests: two heights, each with two positional variants. Foot levers: variable operating lever angle and lever length. Seat: two heights. Hand levers: variable. Handlebar: two heights and two angles.

SHOCK ABSORBER

The sophisticated internal mechanism of the WP shock absorber on the RC8 R completely isolates the rebound damping from the compression stage, so that they can each be adjusted Independently from one another. The compression damping can also be set for high speed and low speed. The suspension set-up range extends comfortably to racing conditions.

The most advanced technology helps in adapting the twin superbike to use in the Adventure R:

»Twin ignition sinks both consumption and emissions and ensures smooth running and superior power from the very bottom up.

»Ride-by-wire ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque.

»MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) guarantees a sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on every surface and in all situations.

»The new slipper clutch prevents rear wheel chatter and Reduces the hand force required for shifting gears.

RIDE-BY-WIRE

The guarantee for smooth throttle response, not just no throttle control cable: The ride-by-wire system on the 1190 Adventure R ensures perfect application of the readily available and plentiful torque. It also electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into the throttle valve positions perfectly suited to the riding conditions. The DBW system is fully compliant with the strict safety standard DIN 26 262 from the automobile sector.

SLIPPER CLUTCH

Not only does the new slipper clutch open when the engine back-torque Becomes too high, It also assists when you open up the throttle. The former prevents annoying rear wheel chatter when braking or decelerating sharply; the latter Reduces the hand force required for changing gear, hence allowing the clutch to be controlled with the little finger - the the which saves energy when riding.

CYLINDER HEADS

The play's good for the outstanding performance of the V-twin with its 75 ° cylinder angle are the state-of-the-art four-valve cylinder heads with twin plug ignition, flow-optimized ducts and cam follower drive via DLC-coated cam followers, each with two overhead camshafts.

TPMS (TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM)

As its name implies, the standard TPMS tire pressure monitors (visible in the display) and warns the rider in the event of pressure loss, for example due to tire damage.

C-ABS (COMBINED ABS) AND OFFROAD MODE

The ultimate in safe deceleration: One component of the MSC is a comprehensive assistance package Bosch is the world's first lean-sensitive cornering ABS. Based on the high-quality 9ME modulator, it unites the talents of the combined braking and lightning-quick, efficient pressure modulation with the high quality Brembo the hardware to the Make the most advanced braking system on the market - no-one brakes more progressively or safely.

Benefits and properties of MTC-ABS:

»Safest and most effective deceleration on the market - even at extreme angles

»Extremely short braking distances

»When the front brake lever is actuated, the rear brake is always applied purposefully in parallel in order to optimize the ride stability when braking

»If required, not only can it be switched off, but Also placed in offroad mode

»Complex computation algorithms Contribute to the prevention of endos

Offroad modes:

Offroad mode Allows the rider to block the rear wheel as and when required - a prerequisite for dedicated off-road riding and deliberately executed slides. The ABS function remains active on the front wheel, even in offroad mode.

MTC (MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL)

As an integral part of the MSC package, MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) regulates Also subject to the angle of lean. It guarantees a sporty yet completely controllable propulsion on all surfaces. Its intervention is indicated resources with a flashing LED in the completely new VDO multi-function display. For different levels of permissible rear-wheel slip, the disengageable MTC system Provides four different modes, selected in connection with the engine modes using the multifunctional switch on the left handlebar grip. Developed in close collaboration with Bosch, it reacts in a matter of milliseconds if the rear wheel begins to rotate too Rapidly for the riding conditions. It also makes use of the quick intervention time of the ride-by-wire system to reduce propulsion to a safe level, subject to the angle of lean. Depending on the MTC mode, the EMS (Engine Management System) Also makes available a suitable level of power - for example, "only" 100 instead of 150 hp in rain mode.

MTC Four different modes are activated by changing the engine modes:

»Sport: Something for the Courageous to try: Allows a respectable and perceptible amount of slippage - drift-feeling all-inclusive!
