The Evotech Performance (EP) Engine Guard is an essential upgrade for any KTM 1290 Super Duke R owner from the 2013 to 2016 model years. Designed and manufactured in the UK to the highest engineering standards, this engine guard provides superior protection against stones, road debris, and potential damage from road hazards. Precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, the guard is not just robust—it's also lightweight. It features a unique, carefully designed pattern of hexagonal perforations that ensure maximum airflow to the engine, preventing overheating while still maintaining a high level of protection. Finished with a durable, exterior black powder coating for longevity and corrosion resistance, the guard seamlessly integrates with the aggressive styling of the Super Duke R. Crucially, the design is engineered to fit perfectly with both the standard OEM exhaust system and the Akrapovic exhaust without any modifications to your motorcycle. The kit includes all necessary fixings and easy-to-follow instructions for a straightforward, quick installation.
