Today guys I'm gonna do something that is on my wish list for a very long time. I'm gonna take you with me on a journey where we're gonna discover the most beautiful bike road in Austria and after that I'm gonna go to the legendary Slovakia ring because I've never been on a professional race track and I want to see how fast I can be. So let me show you which bike I'm gonna use for it. To satisfy my need for adrenaline I usually use the KTM 12 mighty Super Duke R but this time for the long distance I need something that has the DNA from the beast and it's also comfortable. So KTM equipped me with this. The most radical sports tour there is the KTM 12 mighty Super Duke GT with a tech pack. Woo! What an epic location this is! We just arrived at our first destination the Gross Glockner Mountain Pass to see what this bike can do and how it gonna handle it but from bottom of my heart guys I recommend this location if you want to see perfect twist is right on the perfect road conditions and just have fun. If you have the chance once in your lifetime it's the place to be. The first feature gonna blow your mind let me show you. The KTM 12 mighty Super Duke GT comes now with a bigger 7 inch TFT display and check this. Just look at those multi-color display it looks for me like a video game. All the settings are now illustrated and it has also redesigned buttons with them I can easily switch through different information. We can see the bike info we can see the trip information we can also switch through different ride modes performance track street sport and so on and we have different ABS modes Super Moto mode we have and the road mode and then different rider aids you can also easily select different suspension modes such as damping and also the preload then we can also adjust the heated grips for medium to high then we can also adjust some settings like custom switches, favorites, button illumination, DRL, KTM Connect, quick shifter, hill hole control that's a super cool feature shift light, corner light test, clock date, units, language and on and on a lot of technology in this new bike. Double thumbs up to the KTM engineers that designed that TFT display and now I would like to test the suspension so let's climb up the mountain and let's see what it can do. Those twists felt so comfortable but in the same time also fast because the new GT comes with a semi active suspension and it offers three different modes. If you ride on some bad roads at low speeds then you have the comfort mode. If you want something a bit more stiffer for dynamic riding but not to extreme yet then we have the street mode. Your riding style requires precision and stiffness then we have the sport mode and with that you can also hit the local race track and the preload adjuster of the rear suspension offers us four different real-life situations. Passenger, rider plus passenger, rider plus passenger plus luggage and only the rider without the luggage. And what also made a huge difference before in the twist is also the new rims. They are now 1 kilogram lighter than the previous version and in rotational mass we know that's a huge difference especially when you want to throw your bike around left and right and and all this is way easier than before and they have also the design from the Super Duke R or EVO and this little detail is also top notch and beside the rim grip is super important that's why the Super Duke GT comes with a continental Conti Sport Attack 4 tires and they provide a perfect grip for these kind of roads and another feature that sticks out are those LED cornering lights hidden in the tank and those are helping you to light up your line depending on your lean angle and that came pretty handy today when we were traveling up in the mountain at five in the morning and I found some features that made my ride super comfortable integrated heated grips adjustable windshield with just one finger okay to a little storage departments on both sides KTM Connect and Hillclimb assist okay guys time to leave the mountain the bad weather is coming and we need to hit the road to Slovakia to the racetrack and there we're gonna see if this bike really has the DNA from the beast and I'm curious what 175 horsepower can do let's go okay let's make the bike race ready that was so much fun what an epic track day the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is not only a great sports tour but it's also very fast around the track since I'm amateur racer I need a lot of rider aids and those help me today to stay on two wheels and not only that the semi-active suspension in its sport mode gave me a feeling that it's very easy to control and I could easily keep up my line it has great ergonomics so I can nicely tuck in behind a windshield and reach high speeds the quick shifter plus is smooth as butter after this trip I would say that the Super Duke GT sits between the Super Duke R because of its portiness and the power and the Super Duke adventure as because of its riding position and the comfort starting at the KTM factory traveling to beautiful roads and ending on the racetrack sounds like a dream for every biker so thanks KTM for that opportunity I had fun you ran out of two okay and guys if you have a question about the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT drop comments below I will answer them and see you in the next Rock on Vlog until then Rock on
