should have got intake sooner.
Have been riding the superduke for 2 years and what a awesome bike. Going into the 3rd season with the superduke and decided to upgrade the air intake and only wish I would have installed it sooner. Thanks for the great product Rottweiler

Replacement of KTM garbage box with this air cleaner along with Rotty's velocity stacks made my SDGT a completely different bike. You thought it was bad, install this kit and you won't believe the difference. It convinced me to go all out and got cannister removal kit and a Power Commander. My bike is insane.

According to the book Tuning For Performance you can't feel less than a 10% increase in power . If that is true then the air box is increasing power more than 10% because you will feel more power.

A few months with the Stage 3 kit with the extra velocity stack on my 2016 1290r and I am ready to leave my review.
The SOUND is unreal. Its not like an exhaust note that is behind you.. this is under your chest, inside your chest, up your nose vibrating your nasal cavity. It truly sounds like a beast now. I do have sensitive ears so I wear earplugs all the time when riding and I can still feel pressure on my ears from the intake noise. Its insane!
The fueling dongles made a big difference to cruise areas and funny enough I actually was having flame out issues with the bike where it had shut off on me two or three times at low rpms when clutching. That problem has been totally solved by this kit. I also haven't noticed any difference in fuel economy.
It definitely helps up top power wise but its hard to tell exactly how much. I still have the stock cat so I imagine if I had a full akra exhaust and a power commander I would have some serious gains up top. But the mid range torque and instant on throttle torque is totally nuts. Cracking on the throttle at about 4k is insane, I literally slid back and the pillion seat hit me in the ass unexpectedly and kinda hurt lol.
Do I recommend it? Yes. The sound legit makes it worth it if nothing else. But the extra power, torque and quite frankly insane throttle response. Yes yes triple yes.

Got the stage 2.with the extra 80 velocity stack. With the online video very easy install. Amazing the 1300cc bike is so restricted bij the std airbox... as every factory bike these days. This deff solved that problem and can suck air all over.love the looks to bad ye cant see it..

Whoa...Now My 2017 Superduke Runs Right
Even with my factory cat and new exhaust flapper valve in place, the Rottweiler Intake System (along with their Fueling Dongles) transformed my '17 1290 Superduke into a deep-breathing, well-fueled BEAST with more power, much better throttle response and a very smooth engine! There is also noticeably more torque available throughout the power band. Blip the throttle and it barks like a full-race engine plus installation was easy following Rottweiler's instructions and videos. Install one...you'll love it because they work. Really............

"Holy Mother of God!!!"
I had the Stage 5 kit installed with every performance upgrade, worth every penny!! The power and torque gain is 1000% noticeable. If someone asked me to describe my SuperDuke 1290 R with the Stage 5 intake with one word, it would be "Violent" but in a good way!! No bike hits like a Big Twin!!! I Bleed Orange!!

Intake stage 3+ Velocity Stack 80*40
Thanks to the company Rottweiler performance, you are doing a really good and quality tuning. After installation Intake stage 3+ Velocity Stack 80*40, my super duke 1290r 2014 got such a rush of power that I could not even think about, and also the sound of the exhaust and engine performance changed. Now he is actually the best beast of all KMT) Thank you Rottweiler Performance you are the best company for KTM! =)

Great product! Easy Install. and more HP and Torque
Purchased the air intake and installed Stage 3 with a Power commander and Barker Brothers DeCat exhaust Already installed and SAS removed. Very easy installation. Put it on a new Dynojet and got 3 honest HP and 3 lbs of torque. It runs smooth all the way to Redline. No popping or back fire on hard deceleration. No hestitation in recommending this product. Also great customer service when talking to Reps. ITS A SNARLING BEAST NOW!
