2008 KTM 990 Super Duke R Battle

The inaugural 2007 series saw some amazing bar to bar racing with enthusiastic crowds plus great TV and magazine coverage.

The 2008 series has been modified to make it even easier and more cost effective to race at some of the best tracks in the UK.


Bikes
This series is all about genuine racing talent and cost effective racing therefore, limited modifications to the bikes will be permitted.
2008 990 Super Duke R models will be used. This is the race-oriented version of the standard Super Duke with uprated suspension and 128 hp.
This combined with the introduction of the Pirelli Control tyre rule, with DOT dry tyres and a full Rain option for wet weather will mean a more level playing field.

The 2008 Battle is a full BSB support race with 12 rounds including 5 double headers. The provisional race calendar is as follows:

• Thruxton, 18-20 April
• Donington Park, 24-26 May (double header)
