KTM sets new Pike’s Peak record
The 2017 #ktm 1290 SUPER DUKE R claimed a new outright motorcycle record on June 26 for the demanding and iconic Broadmoor Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb with racer #chrisfillmore at the controls.
Riding on a Super Duke prepared with readily available #ktm PowerParts in the Two Wheel and Heavyweight Division – the top motorcycle class, Fillmore posted a time of nine minutes 49.625s on the winding 4302-meter high, 19.99km closed road in #colorado Springs, USA.
What made this feat more impressive is that Fillmore, a former AMA Superbike racer for HMC #ktm, was a rookie at the event. Describing his high-speed climb on the #ktm as ‘awesome’, Chris had successfully negotiated 156 turns in record time to the highest summit on the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. He was also quick to acknowledge that riding #pikespeak was an emotional and even humbling experience. The preparation had been tough, and he praised the Race Smart program that helps riders prepare to ride safely in a very special race.
