KTM 690 Duke Track
KTM has revealed a Track version of its 690 Duke.
Limited to just 200 examples, the specification is as per the bikes that compete in the European Junior Cup race series, which means more power, less weight and lots of special components. Unfortunately, though, it also means that the 690 Duke Track isn’t street legal.
Changes to the single-cylinder engine include a modified airbox, a bespoke fuel map and a replacement camshaft from the KTM PowerParts catalogue. The standard exhaust is ditched in favour of a titanium and carbon fibre system by Akrapovic, while drive to the gearbox is now delivered via a slipper clutch. As a result, output increases from the stock 67 bhp (50 kW / 68 PS) to 78 bhp (58 kW / 79 PS).
Chassis upgrades focus on the fitment of fully adjustable WP suspension and circuit-optimised Brembo brakes. The anti-lock braking system meanwhile has been deleted, a move that has undoubtedly contributed to the bike’s overall 10 kg (22 lbs) weight reduction.
Completing the package are Marchesini wheels, lower and narrower Renthal handlebars, a higher PowerParts seat and repositioned foot pegs.
Pricing for the KTM 690 Duke Track has yet to be finalised, but KTM is saying it will cost less than €10,000.
