American duo Ryan Cochran-Siegle and Travis Ganong set strong times early in the competition but ended ninth and 10th respectively despite finishing within one second of Kilde.
Norwegians have now won eight of the last 10 super-Gs in Val Gardena, after wins from the now retired Aksel Lund Svindal and the recently injured Kjetil Jansrud.
Slovenian pair Bostjan Kline and Nejc Naralocnik each crashed out of the race, the latter receiving treatment after falling face first.
