Just a few days after Bajaj Auto becomes its financial lifeguard, from the Motohall of the Austrian firm, located at its headquarters in Muchofen, Austria, we get some interesting images of the concept of the KTM E-Duke, the first electrical enrolled mount of the brand. It is unquestionable to think that the influence of the Indian business group, hereinafter, could put the direct towards its expected range of plug -in models.
KTM E-Duke in Detail
The well -known slim pilot of biker acrobatics, Rok Bagorosis the one who has had access to the KTM exhibition area, located at the headquarters of the brand, where the future KTM E-Duke in the form of a concept seems exposed. In addition, he was able to record a small video that has subsequently uploaded to one of its social networks and in which we can see in detail some of the main aspects of the next plug -in motorcycle of the Austrian firm.
To begin their forms and measures, they remind us of the current Duke range of low and half displacement, with the exception of the front, where we find a lighthouse very similar to that of the new 990 Duke and 1390 Superduke and the rear section, where it presents some more geometric and sharp lines. Both the tilting, as the posterior monoamortiguador, seem inherited from the 390 variant of the well -known Naked model saga.
Just under the swingarm we can observe a large coching, so we can think that this could have some type of aerodynamic function. Perhaps the most striking of the KTM E-Duke is at the top of the motorcycle, where the false deposit is hollow at the bottom, as an air intake. The tissue that the pilot seat exhibits is also striking, manufactured in any case with a 3D printer.
Although there are no details about those aspects related to their technical part, in 2022, when we had access to the first information of the future model, the brand itself indicated that the KTM E-Duke would have a battery package capable of offering 5.5 kWhwhich would result in a maximum power of some 10 kW, about 13.4 hp. As for their autonomy, it is very possible that he would be 100 kilometers.
Based on the images of this first concept, it is confirmed that the propeller would be installed within the chassis, so initially the possibility of a cube engine is initially ruled out. Other relevant details that attract us attention are for example the installation of a handle in its left fist, probably to act the rear brake. The color of its tires is still maintained with double chromatic scheme, as in the first sketches of the model.
On the other hand, we have a small screen screen as an instruments, while in the upper part of what we would call false deposit the brand has placed what seems like a battery charge indicator. Finally, on the basis of the Colin cover, the KTM E-Duke looks number 94 along with the brand’s name.
We can also clearly see a QR code and under this R2R acronym. Regarding numerical inscription, everything suggests that it could refer to the year 1994, an exact moment in which the brand launched the first Duke in history. If we focus on the acronym, the letters “RR” in KTM are related to the “Ready To Race” business motto. In English, to and number 2, Two, they pronounce in the same way, so we could be facing a new commercial slogan that the Austrian firm would release in its future generation of plug -in models.
