The KTM 690 Duke is getting some new developments for the 2012 model year, among which are the changes that should make even more powerful. In a first pre-production trip, MCN says the world's most powerful single-cylinder bike will be more refined and powerful next year as a KTM expects its midrange line sports bike attractive.
The 2012 KTM 690 Duke has a double cylinder head spark, Ride-by-wire and optional Bosch ABS brakes, all in about 70 horsepower. Although aimed at a younger audience, the 690 Duke also will be priced at around £ 6,000 - around € 6,800 at current exchange rate.
That sounds like an attractive package and KTM is taking things further with the structural cowling a substructure made under high pressure. The aluminum alloy frame reduces weight and the number of components
