SUPERCLAMP - Adjustable offset triple clamp for the KTM Superduke R, Gen 1 (2014-2016)

The new Gen1 SuperClamp!
For the higher-performance Superduke rider in you

Now available for the Gen1 1290 Superduk R.

Made from 7075 T6 aluminum, the adjustable offset Superclamp kit, previously only available for the Gens 2-4 Superduke, is now available for the Gen1 too.  It is stronger than both the OEM and Power Parts tripleclamps, giving you better feel and control, but it offers you something never before available on Gen 1 Superdukes - the ability to change your trail by using up to 11 different offset inserts.

Trail is the single most impactful element of your motorcycle's "feel". You can now have the ability to alter your Superduke's flick-ability, increase your confidence up front, affect your turning radius, your roll speed, and achieve a more "neutral" feel in your steering as you lean through turns - all without affecting any other aspect of your motorcycle's setup.  

All generation Superdukes love having less trail, like the new Panigale, like the RC8C, like the BMWs - they all have far less trail than the Gen1 Superduke.   And up until today the only way to reduce trail on your Gen1 Superduke was with a length adjustable shock, or lowering the front.   But lowering the front also flattens the swingarm, and raising the rear enough to get great trial numbers would require you to use a step ladder to mount the Beast.

Enter, your 2014-2016 Superduke's new best friend - The Superclamp!

Now it is possible for you to achieve an impressive range of trail settings by using the Superclamp alone.   Your Superduke setup can remain exactly where it was when it came off the showroom floor - same rear ride height, same gearing, same eccentric position and fork heights - and you can have up to 3mm more trail, or 7mm less trail than stock.   That's 111mm to 101mm of trail, in 1mm increments, all now possible with the Superclamp alone.

The Superclamp comes in KTM orange anodized, or black anodized.   Other colors are possible - email to discuss.

What comes in the box?

• Upper triple clamp
• Lower triple clamp
• Specially designed steering stem that allows upper and lower insert removal without dismantling the entire front end of the motorcycle.
• One insert providing 2 different offset/trail positions depending on the direction you install it: +2 or OEM (keep in mind, a positive offset reduces trail, while a negative offset increases trail)
• Steering damper mount
• Adjustable "Shock absorbing" Steering Stop kit - the "Superstop"
• Tapered Roller bearings already installed on your new Superclamp Steering stem.
• All necessary triple clamp bolts in 316 stainless steel (OEM bolts still used for headlight mounts)
• By optimizing the design, we are able to offer three different offset packages (again relative to stock, in mm):  
  • Base:  +2, 0 (OEM)
  • Performance:  +1, +3, +4, -1, -2 
  • Extreme:  +5, +6, +7, -3, 
  • (remember "+" inserts increase performance, flickability, roll speed, more neutral feel through turns by reducing trail.   Were "-" inserts make the bike steer slower, have more of a tendency to steer straight do to increasing trail.

The Superclamp retains all threaded mounting holes for OEM headlight, steering damper mount, etc. A third handlebar mount has been added for maximum flexibility in bar position relative to steering stem.  For example even while using the most aggressive offset insert available (+7) you can still achieve the same bar to steering stem relationship that you had with your OEM triple clamp.  The Superclamp is appropriate for street applications, track day applications, and of course for racing.

As with all adjustable offset triple clamp kits, due to the wide range of adjustability which puts the rear of the top triple clamp in 11 different locations - only one of which is OEM - we lose the "key-lock" feature.

Special thanks to David LaBree for all of his help creating the original design and technical drawings for the Superclamp.
