ride modes

The ride modes on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR have had a complete overhaul. This was done to provide improved feedback to the rider, without any obtrusive electronics cutting the fun, with traction control and anti-wheelie functions reacting in a smoother, less abrupt way. Rain Mode: «Rain mode» is the no-brainer setting for slippery conditions, resulting in maximum traction control, ultra-smooth throttle response, and power reduced to 130 hp. Street Mode: Just like it sounds, «Street mode» is made for the daily grind on everyday roads. Full power, default throttle response, and limited-slip traction control keep things controlled on the road. Sport Mode: Dialled in for a more spirited ride, «Sport mode» tightens up the throttle control, winds down the traction control slightly, and allows the front end to lift under hard acceleration. And of course – unleashes all the horsepower.Performance Mode: Standard on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR, «Performance Mode» is the ultimate aggressive street riding mode. It allows for some customization of traction control, with anti-wheelie being allowed to be switched off. Launch control can also be toggled, but with some creature comforts like cruise control and KTM MY RIDE too. Track Mode: For full-on track attacks, «Track mode» comes as standard on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE RR and allows the rider to customize a few features to best suit their riding style, like the level of slip allowed by the traction control, plus anti-wheelie can be switched off. TFT display visibility is also improved, only displaying the info you need. Cruise Control and KTM MY RIDE are disabled in this mode.
