Description
For 2017, KTM updated both the Duke 390 and its fully-faired sibling, the RC390. The RC was an instant hit when it was released, far surpassing the performance envelope that ~300cc bikes were offering. This also made it a popular platform for small displacement track builds.
The R model was a homologation special edition limited to 500 examples world wide. Along with a bevy of hardware upgrades, the track focused variant also included fully adjustable WP suspension front and rear, lowered clip-on handlebars, CNC milled brake and clutch levers, and fresh graphics.
The powerplant remained the same which produced 44 horsepower and 25.8 ft-lbs of torque. If that wasn’t enough, KTM offered the SSP300 Race Kit which was even more limited at 50 kits a year. The performance boosting packaged consisted up a full titanium Akrapovič exhaust, race ECU, quickshifter, STM slipper clutch, wiring harness, FEBUR cooling system, gearing options, and an extra set of wheels.
