Updating your stock intake system to this great product is the best thing you can do to your Super Duke R 1290. Airflow ingreases and so does the performance. Dynojet Powercommander V is a great buy when you want to take it to the max.

Even if this intake didn't boost performance, it's worth the improvement over stock for filtering efficiency since the stock unit is notorious for leaking. KTM really dropped the ball on the stock airbox/filter.

I purchased the Stage 3 Intake Kit (I already had an exhaust and link pipe) and would highly recommend that any SD 1290 owner do the same: improved mid-range that is noticeable, *ballistic* power at wide open throttle, and cured the steady throttle engine surging issue that my stock bike had. I used the Power commander map from the Rottweiler website, I have not done a custom tune yet. Also, the install wasn't too difficult; the videos on the Rottweiler site are very helpful. Great customer support. All in all, a great experience!

Installed the stage 3 airbox/SAS eliminator,airbox, and both 80mm stacks. Along with some exhaust mods and aftermarket tuning, I finally have a fire breathing engine that is even smoother than factory stock. If you are willing to research the 1290, you can actually choose components to increase HP/torque while at the same time, make the engine smoother.

Easy installation, very cool intake noises and more power!

Shipping was really fast, quality made product, performance gains were a huge plus. However, I was a little disappointed that no installation instructions were provided with the kit, they provide them with the SAS delete and fueling dongle kit. The install was by no means difficult but it just took longer to make sure everything was installed in the right place. Still cant figure out the exact placement of the shield. In the end, still a happy customer.
Rottweiler Note: All of our installation instructions are downloadable online at 'downloads/instructions'. We do this so that we can provide excellent detail.

Cleans up the bottom end, screams up top
Excellent mod - highly recommended. Simple install, cleans up the bottom end dramatically. Induction noise is brilliant, makes you feel more connected with the motor. Improves dust collection as the stock filter is a joke.

Own a KTM big Twin? Buy this NOW!
The 1290 SD-R is a BEAST! everyone knows this fact. I installed this along with the TVS-80 and Stage 3 SAS Removal. The power is Amazing and everywhere! Most bolt on parts Are boring and give little performance. I can tell you this gain is Palpable! No more hesitation when the throttle bodies slam open. Smooth power from off idle right up to the rev limit. Amazing! Buy it NOW! I cant wait to do some ECU tuning!

Best bang for your buck!!!
What a great upgrade!! The seat of your pants dyno says this air box is producing a lot more power!! I installed the power commander and the air box at the same time and it really woke the 1290 up!! The base plate design is very good and the installation process was actually enjoyable.
