KTM is set to unleash the most extreme version of its flagship naked bike with the upcoming 1390 Super Duke RR. Leaked homologation documents filed in Europe have confirmed the existence of this track-focused hyper-naked, revealing key details about its weight reduction efforts and exclusive components.

The “RR” variant is designed to be the ultimate, top-of-the-line model in the 1390 Super Duke lineup, offering a significant premium experience for a select few

1. Extreme Weight Reduction

The primary focus of the RR is to enhance handling and agility through massive weight savings:

  • Lighter than the R: The 1390 Super Duke RR will be 8.5kg lighter than the already potent 1390 Super Duke R variant (which weighs 212.5kg fully fueled).

  • The Weight Loss Recipe: This reduction is expected to be achieved through a host of premium, lightweight parts, mirroring the strategy used on the previous 1290 Super Duke RR. These likely upgrades include:

    • Carbon Fibre Components: Extensive use of carbon fibre bodywork.

    • Akrapovic Exhaust: A lightweight performance exhaust system.

    • Lighter Alloy Wheels: Optimized, reduced-mass alloy wheels.

    • Lithium-ion Battery: Replacing the heavier standard battery.

2. Power and Performance: Unchanged, But Sharper

While the RR version is focused on handling, the engine performance remains the same monstrous unit found in the R model:

  • Engine: It will be powered by the same 1350cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine.

  • Output: The power figures remain a colossal 187.4bhp and 145Nm of peak torque.

  • Suspension: Though not explicitly confirmed in the documents, it is strongly anticipated that the RR will feature top-tier electronics, likely utilizing the WP semi-active suspension system found on the EVO R variant.

3. Exclusive and Limited Production

The 1390 Super Duke RR will not be a mass-market machine; it is slated to be a highly exclusive collector’s item:

  • Limited Numbers: The bike will be available in limited numbers, similar to how the 1290 Super Duke RR was restricted to just 500 units globally.

  • Premium Price Tag: Due to the use of premium materials and limited production, it will command a significant premium over the standard 1390 Super Duke R.

The RR version also shows a slightly longer handlebar, though this is believed to be a minor change likely due to the inclusion of lever guards. Enthusiasts can expect a launch timeline to be announced soon, bringing this “Beast” to life for a select group of riders.
