The KTM 690 Duke is getting some new developments for the 2012 model year, among which are changes which should make it even more powerful.
In a pre-production first ride, MCN says the world’s most powerful single-cylinder bike will be more refined and powerful next year as KTM hopes to make its mid-range sportsbike lineup more appealing.
The 2012 KTM 690 Duke will have a twin-spark cylinder head, ride-by-wire throttle and optional Bosch ABS brakes, all on about 70 hp.
Still aiming at a younger audience, the 690 Duke will also have a price of about £6,000 – around €6,800 at the current exchange rate.
That sounds like an appealing package and KTM is taking things even further with new structural fairing on a subframe manufactured under high pressure.
