Interestingly, even though the engine capacity of the latest Superduke is more than 1000cc, but overall, the weight it has is very light, which in turn allows users to maneuver in various fields of the road easier. Moreover, supported by a design where the front suspension is more collapsed than other naked motorbikes, it will certainly provide a comfortable feeling when driving.

Not only that, the shape of the tank is also sport, let alone emphasized with sharp lines on every shroud in this section.
Then on the back, as with the previous generation, this powerful single motorbike uses a pointed design stop lamp along with a modern tail tidy. Interestingly, even though the naked bike from KTM has a large body, we don't need to worry, because the use of selected material on the frame side and the use of a 2-cylinder V engine, make it only weighs 195kg, very light in its class, so the road manoeuvre feels good and ensure users are not easily tired when driving far.

Meanwhile, to optimize the road, wide tread wheels are mounted on both parts, as well as tires wrapped in sizes 120/70 for the front and rear 180/55, and certainly tubeless.
And you don't need to worry when preparing this motorbike when you are going touring, besides a powerful runway kitchen plus a comfortable suspension, on the full digital dashboard panel carried by it, there is a tire pressure gauge feature, making it easier to find out the wind conditions in the tire.
