🚀 Why It Stands Out

The 2025 Super Duke R combines raw, untamed power with advanced electronics and lightweight agility. KTM focuses on creating a machine that’s just as at home on the track as it is dominating twisty backroads. Its aggressive look, premium suspension, and MotoGP-derived tech make it a standout in the hyper-naked segment.
