Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-performance, tuned version of an already fierce naked bike, best suited to experienced riders with strong throttle control.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive road riding and trackday-style cornering thrills rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe tall seat height, firm suspension, and aggressive power delivery demand a confident, physically engaged riding style.
CharacterA raw, muscular V-twin brawler that rewards decisive inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or riders seeking a plush, relaxed touring experience.

2014 KTM 1290 Superduke PP Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2014 KTM 1290 Superduke PP, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
