Sunluway 60mm Rear Axle Nut Socket for KTM Super Duke 1290/1290 R (2014–2022) — 1/2" Drive, Low‑Profile 4140 Steel

Sunluway's 60mm rear wheel axle nut socket is a low-profile, 1/2" drive tool engineered to remove and install the high-torque rear axle nut on KTM Super Duke 1290 / 1290 R models (2014–2022).

If you service, swap or travel with a KTM Super Duke 1290, the factory rear axle nut can be extremely tight and awkward to reach. This Sunluway socket is shaped specifically to clear surrounding chassis parts while gripping the 60mm hex nut securely. Built from impact-grade 4140 steel with a protective black oxide finish, it’s made for repeated use with ratchets and impact tools up to 700Nm.

How does this socket make rear-wheel removal easier?

The socket’s shallow single-hex profile and central locating boss keep it aligned on the wheel nut, preventing slip and rounding. Its low height lets you access the nut where taller sockets can’t reach, reducing time and frustration when changing or servicing the rear wheel.

• 60mm single hex shallow face for tight clearances
• Central boss keeps socket centred on the nut during operation
• Low profile design clears swingarm and hub components
• Works with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and impact guns

Will this socket stand up to impact tools and high torque?

Yes — Sunluway made the socket from hardened 4140 impact-grade steel to tolerate heavy-duty use. The component is designed for impact service and the black oxide coating adds corrosion resistance, so it stays reliable in workshop conditions.

• Material: 4140 hardened impact steel for toughness
• Finish: black oxide for rust resistance and low glare
• Rated up to about 700Nm of torque for high-tension nuts
• Can be used with impact guns and breaker bars

Is this socket compatible with my KTM Super Duke and my tools?

This socket is made to fit the 60mm rear axle nut used on KTM Super Duke 1290 and 1290 R models from 2014 through 2022, and it accepts a 1/2" drive attachment. It’s intended for homeowners and professionals who already own a 1/2" ratchet or impact wrench.

• Fits: KTM Super Duke 1290 / 1290 R (2014–2022)
• Drive: accepts 1/2" drive sockets and tools
• Use: remove or install the rear axle nut during wheel service
• Not universal—verify nut diameter before purchase

What makes this Sunluway socket a durable workshop tool?

Quality steels and a purpose-built geometry extend tool life and maintain safe operation under load. The shallow hex and boss minimize slippage and metal deformation, while the black oxide coating helps resist corrosion from oil, moisture and road salts.

• Precision-machined for tight hex engagement and reduced wear
• Impact-rated steel resists cracking or chipping under load
• Protective coating preserves finish and function over time
• Compact size reduces risk of rounding the wheel nut

Who is this for? The Sunluway 60mm rear axle nut socket is aimed at DIY motorcycle mechanics, professional technicians, and touring riders who perform rear-wheel changes or maintenance on KTM Super Duke 1290 / 1290 R bikes. If you need reliable access to a high-torque 60mm nut using a 1/2" drive tool and want a purpose-built, impact-capable socket that protects the nut and your time, this tool is a practical addition to your toolkit.
