1. Its what bike needs

   Posted by Danilo on 12th Nov 2022

   Installed intake with both 80mm stacks , fueling dongles and o2 sensor blockoffs, change in bike is amazing! More linear power delivery, smoother at lower rpm, bike just feels happier! You et much better top end than before, bike should have came like this from the factory! Whoever buys SDR, this has to be 1st mod they do to it, its necessary i have to say! Best money ever spent on this bike!

2. High quality

   Posted by yannick bouchard on 24th May 2022

   Intake d'excellente qualité, j'ai aussi installer 2 velocity stack de 80mm, et ca aussi de super qualité, c'est pas du chinois ;)
   Le dongle du remove canister kit que j'ai commandé était pas le bon que j'ai recu, jai donc contacter le support, et 1semaine plutard j'avais le bon dongle en main, service A1. Aucune lumiere de noel dans le dash,
   Le son de cet intake ! WOW ! J'ai installé fièrement le sticker ROTWEILLER sur mon 1290 duke gen2 !
   Thanks you guys !

3. Well engineered cleverness

   Posted by RJ on 15th Feb 2022

   Installed intake with new velocity stacks, and did the hoses (separate review), SAS removal, oxygen bungs, and power commander at the same time. Directions for the Super Duke are less clear than for the adventure bikes (there are some variances), but a little digging on youtube finally found a pic of where the plastic shield goes (lower than I thought). Everything else went very smoothly, honestly the most complicated part is probably propping up the tank with a tennis ball to reconnect the high pressure line and fuel pump. Once connected and put back together, cranked right up, no warning lights, and ran like a sewing machine. Much like the adventure bikes, this set up really seems to improve fueling, throttle response, and smooth out any low-throttle jerkiness inherent in the KTM tuning. Very happy with this, overall a big improvement, and well worth the cost and effort.

4. One Track Season Under It's Belt

   Posted by Will Mackin on 21st Jan 2020

   has proved its pedigree for a whole season of track riding. this will make you bike louder even with the stock exhaust. improves performance.

5. looks great... haven’t run bike yet! A buddy runs intake on his duke... bike is so much quicker. after removing stock intake you’ll notice hiw much sand and dirt is getting inside.... stock box is junk! Shame on you KTM

   Debris shield is a pain in butt to install!

7. Your Super Duke needs Air

   Posted by Mohamed Soliman on 8th Sep 2019

   This is the first time I buy & install an Air intake asm on one of my motorcycles . This system is top notch with Simone enough instructions to get the installation done with a few hours . The dust plate had to be cut slightly at the left side in order to sit flush below the air box that’s about the only issue I faced . I have a suggestion please add the male plugs to the OEM o2 sensors as a component off the stage 2 kit . I had to order these separate when I was told they were needed & I paid extra shipping to get it over night & UPS cane they & delivered it by 11 am . I can’t thank Rott Performance enough
   For the awesome service they provided me with every order I made since day one

8. Incredible

   Posted by Unknown on 30th Aug 2019

   I wasn’t expecting the leap in performance. The sound!, the low and mid range power! Completely transformed the bike! I still can’t believe the change just from the sas elimination and charcoal canister delete. Then the O2 sensor plugs and rotti intake lets it breathe so much more. I can’t tell people enough with a 1290 r, you must do this mod!!!!

9. woah

   Posted by Julian on 28th Jun 2019

   I have no mechanical skills and even I was able to install this kit ! I got the stage 2 (with an extra stack) with the stage 3 SAS delete. Power felt a lot smoother ! Love Rottweiler products !

10. Reality exceeds imagination

    Posted by Giax on 3rd Apr 2019

    First things first: the pre-sale process. Will has been terrific and very kind, guiding me thru the buying choices.
    I went for a Stage4 w/ 2x 59mm velocity stacks and decat w/ESE (plus SAS/canister removal) for my 1290GT. My fear was that all the increase would be in the hi end of the revs range. But at the first ride after installing the whole kit, holy cow, the results were awesome, jaw dropping… Let aside the roaring sound, it's unbelievable how the bike gained personality, increased in reactiveness, and surprisingly the torque seems kicking in even at lower rpm. Man, the final result is way off the chain: if I were told that that's would the deal I wouldn't believe it. A true game changer, totally rad. Endless kudos to the Rottweiler team!

11. Excellent product. Must have mod.

    Posted by f.rispoli226@gmail.com on 3rd Jul 2018

    Very well built product as usual with Rottweiler. Everything fits perfectly and is very high quality. The design is so much better than restricted stock airbox.

12. Second time buyer. It's that awesome!!

    Posted by Matt Culver on 30th Mar 2018

    Two years ago I bought the stage 4 kit for my '15 SDR, and I instantly fell in love with the product on the first ride. That bike sold with all parts still installed, so it was time to buy this gnarly system once again for my '17 SDR with the addition of the auto tuner. If I wasn't impressed enough before, now with the auto tuner, I never have a question of running too lean or rich as I go in the mountains and back to sea level. The fit and finish that Rottweiler produces time and again is second to none! The snarl as you crack open the throttle is almost intimidating to the feint of heart. If you looking for the best for your KTM, look no further. The only thing you will regret is that you waited to install this sooner.

13. Beware... this is AWESOME

    Posted by Heykel H on 18th Mar 2018

    Wow, permanent smile on my face. Adds power, smooths the engine, runs cooler, sounds amazing. For what it adds to the bike (17 SDR) the product is under priced. Customer service is PLATINUM level.

14. Need to come with a WARNING

    Posted by Heykel H. on 15th Mar 2018

    I rarely leave review, but when I do its because the company has gone above and beyond my expectation. I have a 2017 SDR (dream bike) and after many conversation with Chris I pulled the trigger on their Stage 6. Stage 6 should be renamed "STAGE BADASS" because frankly that what its turn an already great bike into a badass one. I'm visual learner so their video's on installation where a tremendous help. After the installation was complete and initial ride down, I couldn't get the smile off my face, it's a whole new monster. I can't thank Chris and his team enough for the professional and personal attention I was given, I truly felt they cared about my bike and my dreams for it. ROTTWEILER PERFORMANCE is the BEST.

15. Performance and longevity

    Posted by Eric on 6th Mar 2018

    The list of benefits of this intake system is long, starting with weight savings, better contamination protection for longer engine life, more air means more power, easy to service. If you love your Super Duke as much as I do, this modification is the most important one you can make. Eric

16. Superduke 1290 unleashed

    Posted by KillaB on 28th Feb 2018

    2015 Superduke 1290 with cat delete Remus mid pope, Rottweiler SAS delete and annitori quickshifter. I was cleaning my stock air filter and found both a good deal of grime as well as a whole fly ion my intake butterfly valve...!! I installed the straight forward Rottweiler stage 3 intake in less than one hour, the most difficult part was getting the air filter oiled..takes some practice to properly saturate, especially when you didn’t get the no toil oil with a sprayer..had to hand apply.. Took the bike out after install, and really didn’t notice any difference, that is until I grabbed a serious handful of throttle.. The sound is unreal, but the power difference is downright shocking..! Racing my biddies R1 crossplane yesterday two things were apparent. First, my bike began to rival his in terms of sound, and secondly, he doesn’t have the speed advantage anymore..tested at a 50mph rolling start.. If ridden at normal pace the motor is the same gentle creature as before, but stomp on it and scary, explosive power hits so quick that it’s hard to prepare for. Fueling dongles smoothed out low rpm stuttering making embarrassing stalls nonexistent..well worth the extra money. In summary, I will not need to look any further on ways to improve power output on my bike. Install this and consider it good, anymore power and the bike would be uncontrollable..IMO.

17. should have got intake sooner.

    Posted by Darren on 25th Feb 2018

    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

18. aNOTHER AWESOME PRODUCT

    Posted by YAMAMOTO on 27th Dec 2017

    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.

19. noticable power increase

    Posted by Dave Blakeman on 5th Oct 2017

    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.

20. Sweet Zombie Jesus!

    Posted by Frank on 30th Sep 2017

    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.

21. the beast got some air

    Posted by niels on 12th Aug 2017

    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..

22. Whoa...Now My 2017 Superduke Runs Right

    Posted by Tom Bumpous (WarBaby) on 7th Aug 2017

    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............

23. "Holy Mother of God!!!"

    Posted by Michael J Kastner on 31st Jul 2017

    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!!

24. Intake stage 3+ Velocity Stack 80*40

    Posted by Konstantin Khakhanov on 26th Jul 2017

    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! =)

25. Great product! Easy Install. and more HP and Torque

    Posted by jay on 15th Jul 2017

    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!

26. Quality!

    Posted by Unknown on 12th Jul 2017

    Top quality and fit, make sure you read the instructions or you might miss some small details like I did. Easy to install and plastic guard fit easily even though some said they had problems on forums. Make sure your filter is not over oiled or you will get some dribbles over your wiring and engine. Great product and had really opened it up.

27. Great addition to my Super Duke!

    Posted by Jeremy Hartsell on 30th May 2017

    I purchased and installed the stage 3 intake to go along with the full akro exhaust on my 2016 Super duke and could not be happier. The noise from the intake is awesome. Big difference in low end smoothness. Not only is the product great but everyone I have dealt with or talked to from this company is great. I may be one person but you have a life customer with me. Thanks

28. WOW

    Posted by michel journet on 20th Jan 2017

    1290 SDR: I have installed Rottweiler Intake performance (with 2 TVS-80 Tuned Velocity Stack), fueling dongle, and did the SAS (+ canister) removal. I have also a slip-on SCProject. I was already in love with my bike before, but with the new intake, love has become passion! The bike is smooth at low RPM, no more popping deceleration sounds like I had before (although I kinda liked it), and when you twist the throttle ... WOW! It was actually hard to keep the front wheel (firmly) on the ground WFO 3rd gear and even 4th WITH TRACTION CONTROL ON. This was a quick test ride just after installation, but I can't wait to do track day when spring come (being on East coast, I am currently hibernating keeping my bike and my body in the warmth of my home/garage. lol). To any 1290 SDR proud owner, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

29. Transformed my 1290 Super Duke from The Beast to The Unhinged Insane Maniac!!

    Posted by Matthew Fields on 15th Jan 2017

    I have been reading the many positive reviews regarding the Rottweiler Intake System and decided to add it to my upgrade list. I also opted to get the extra Velocity Stack with my system. I recently had the Full Akrapovic Ti Exhaust system installed on my bike and just knew the Rottweiler would take it to the next level. I had a local performance shop install the Airbox for me while they were installing my Rapid Bike Evo Fuel Module. Words cannot describe the level of performance improvement!! And it makes the most delightful inductive roar sound ever!!! When I unpacked and inspected the kit before handing it over the shop for installation it was of outstanding quality. The tech that installed it tells me the installation was very straight forward which is consistent with the "how to" video on Rottweilers Website. I would be totally comfortable with installing this system myself if it was necessary. I have so far have put about 600 miles on the bike and I am beyond pleased. I wish I had more hands so I could give it 4 thumbs up!!!

30. I can't like this enough!!!

    Posted by drew vantuyl on 25th Sep 2016

    Just installing the intake with the TVS-80 stacks increased hp NOTICEABLY!!! I couldn't be happier. The debris plate is a nice touch & was easy to install. I love how it deflects the hot air from the radiator. Well done!

31. making it the way it should be

    Posted by SS Moulton on 4th Aug 2016

    This product is one of the best choices I made for my SD1290. I have no idea what the KTM engineer was thinking about when he designed that monstrosity of an air intake. Thank the gods of awesomeness that Rottweiler Performance designed the holy grail of intakes. This thing took my little Duke and in a few minutes of install turned it into one of the meanest sounding Super Dukes around. You twist the throttle and it sounds like it is going to suck you pants off. Thank you Rottweiler Performance for designing this. Two thumbs way up.

32. A must for the Super Duke (Stage 4)

    Posted by Jason Jenia on 14th Jun 2016

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this intake. Everything seems to highly engineered and top notch kit. Especially the Velocity Stacks. Truly a thing of beauty. Install was a lot easier than I thought it would be. It’s pretty much straight forward. The deflector shield was a little tricky but since it’s bendable it went in pretty quick.
    I love the intake growl. It sounds amazing. And wheelies through the first 3 gears are even easier!

33. Stage 4 or better is a must

    Posted by Billy on 10th Jun 2016

    Getting the complete package is well worth it. When combined with the SAS removal and a de-cat exhaust, your SD will be smoother, faster, (and most suprisingly to me) much more streetable in the low revs. Get it!

34. Intake Stage 4 kit

    Posted by Sami on 16th Jan 2016

    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.

35. Far beter than stock!

    Posted by Troy Albritton on 2nd Jan 2016

    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.

36. Absolutely Worth It

    Posted by AG on 20th Nov 2015

    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!

37. 1290 super duke r

    Posted by Unknown on 13th Jul 2015

    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.

38. Awsome

    Posted by Markus on 27th Jun 2015

    Easy installation, very cool intake noises and more power!

39. Excellent Product!

    Posted by Jon on 29th May 2015

    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.

40. Cleans up the bottom end, screams up top

    Posted by Bernie on 12th Apr 2015

    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.
