Rottweiler

Rottweiler Performance's Intake System For The KTM 790/890 Duke is available! Motorcycle.com gets impressive results from this highly anticipated mod.

For those who crave even more power (at the expense of a considerable increase in noise), a full exhaust coupled with the intake should bump the power up even more.

While the stock ECU can deliver most of the power that the intake kit is capable of, my lust for power led me to chase the maximum out of the increased airflow by taking the OEM oxygen sensors out of the process to put full control of fueling into the hands of the Power Commander and Rottweiler map. For my second track test of the Rottweiler Intake System, I took the 790 to the banking of Auto Club Speedway for the last motorcycle event ever in its current configuration. Get to more open environments, and the Duke leaps forward like it does at the track. Oftentimes, performance modifications carry a cost when riding on the street, but riding around the local mountains revealed seamless power that responds, with one exception, to every twist of the throttle – be it on or off throttle. Although the fueling with my current setup was spot on, my quest for power dictated that I toss the entire airbox, and its accompanying weight, in favor of the carbon fiber Rottweiler unit. The additional power out of the corners was immediately noticeable. While I didn’t test this on my bike, Rottweiler claims that its 790 Adventure test mule gained 9 hp with the intake only. The system is designed to act as a single velocity stack, funneling the air from the huge surface area of the foam off-road filter straight to the throttle bodies.
