And most importantly, it offers amateur pilots an exclusive, effective and much more accessible tool than to enter the expensive world of competition motorcycles designed from scratch.
The Super duke r It has always been defined as “The beast“Within the universe KTM: an agile chassis, a large-cylindered V-Twin engine and a wild character. However, its Naked configuration never allowed you to compete from you to you with the superbikes charged in the field for which many wanted it: the trackdays and the fans races. Now, with the new kit of Krämerthat limitation disappears.

The first lot of only 30 kits is already exhausted, demonstrating the enormous interest of fans. For the month of November, a second round of 20 additional units is expected. Eye, the price, in Germany, starts in 6,990 eurosan elevated figure, but much more reasonable than the acquisition or development of a complete racing motorcycle from scratch.
The company’s own founder, Markus Krämerhe explains it clearly: “It is much more affordable starting from a base already tested as the Super Duke than to design a competition prototype from scratch. Thus we managed to reach an audience that we could not offer anything before”
The development team of Krämerin which the designer participates Danny Wilhelmformer engineer of KTM involved in the RC8, Moto3 and MotoGPhe had to overcome several challenges. The Super Duke It is conceived as Naked de Calle: with high deposit, high seat and geometry adapted to the road, not to the track. “We call this the problem of transformation”, He explains Wilhelm.
The solution went through redesign the disposition of admission and deposit, relocate part of electronics and create a new compressed air flow so that the motorcycle not only seems like a superbike, but also behaved as such when rolling.
Although Krämer He emphasizes that development is totally internal, he acknowledges that he previously informed KTM To avoid misunderstandings. The confirmation that the Austrian brand does not work in a direct successor of the RC8make this kit the closest option that fans can have a modern superbike signed by KTM.
But Krämer He doesn’t stop here. It already prepares additional high performance parts such as an oversized radiator, front and rear ailerons, and an electronic kit Mectronik Designed for those who seek maximum performance in motor management.
