KTM brings back the 1290 Super Duke GT comes back to Canada for 2023
The 1290 Super Duke GT will be reintroduced for the 2023 season. The 1290 Super Duke GT combines torque, ability and long-distance comfort in true sport bike form.
The 2023 model will feature an enhanced and reworked 1,301 cc LC8 V-Twin, and WP APEX semi-active suspension, as well as a new 7-inch TFT display. The updated model will also feature new lightweight wheels boasting a weight savings of 1 Kilogram and will don the Continental ContiSportAttack 4 tires.
The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT will also debut an all-new navigation system called Turn-by-Turn PLUS, which will further enhance the touring experience. TBT+ will be available via KTMconnect. This allows navigation instructions to be displayed directly on the new 7-inch TFT display, helping riders navigate more effectively. Powered by SYGIC, TBT+ can also operate offline, allowing riders to plan their journey and adventure from remote locations, with the NAVIGATION feature using industry-standard mapping to guide riders to their destination of choice.
The new system also allows for waypoints to be skipped without prompting a turnaround. The system will merely recalculate and find the next available route to get you back on track. Also, the last 10 destinations searched are automatically saved and available directly on the dashboard.
