Tell us what you think of this 690 DUKE R 2013

presentation of the 690 DUKE R 2013

this 690 Duke R is all about the European Junior Cup. Now a track machine rather than a rambunctious toy, this roadster is directly derived from the Duke Track used by the young wolves of the 2012 EJC. The 2nd-generation Duke R wants the track, and its chassis is seasoned for it.

it smells like gunpowder. So the tubular steel frame, weighing just 9 kilos, gains a pair of crashbars and side guards to limit breakage in the event of a spill. Specific parts adorn the beast, such as the orange anodized fork crowns, the transparent airbox cover, the wheel axle end caps, the Powerparts stitched saddle and the Akrapovic exhaust.

the single-cylinder engine has not been given the same vitamin treatment as the Track version (+9 hp). As a result, it boasts the same 70 hp as the standard 690 Duke. That's already impressive for this mechanical architecture, and quite enough for this 150 kg machine.
The superior potential comes from the suspension. More sophisticated, the forks and shock absorbers feature more adjustment and 15 mm more travel. The bike's ground clearance is increased and the seat height raised.
Braking is made up of components ready for the bloodiest attacks: a Brembo M50 4-piston caliper and Bosch 9M+ ABS. So you can brake hard and have fun with an anti-lock braking system that knows all about the sport.
Here's a mono that's big and mean as can be. The problem is the price, which is commensurate with its performance.

Malcom Model 2014

Pleasant to drive, can reach 180 km/h if well maintained (filter...), doesn't like rain and power washing (poorly protected wiring due to multiple bad relay contacts), lifts on acceleration in 1st gear, too bad not in 2nd gear.
I'd recommend the Enduro 690, which has fewer electronics and is therefore more reliable. 09/27/2020 20:23 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Malcom

Quentin Model 2013

Hello!
I own a ktm duke 690 r 2013 bridled to 34hp for the moment and I read on this page that this bike is made for the track, on the other hand I was told several times that the mono does not like it too much in general ... maybe it is better to avoid the too big circuit ... if you could enlighten me! And if anyone knows the official top speed. Thanks a lot! 06/12/2014 20:40 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Quentin
