Overview

KTM 690 SMC R

The KTM 690 SMC R raises the bar for street hooligans. The revised chassis and styling are boosted by the latest 690 LC4 motor and an updated electronics package, so whether you express your tarmac-sliding talent on mountain roads or on the track, you’ll be drifting into the future with a maxed-out grin and your veins coursing with adrenaline. Handling is enhanced by the latest fully-adjustable WP APEX suspension, so all you have to worry about is focusing on the road ahead and twisting the throttle to the stoppers. Rebooting supermoto for the road, the KTM 690 SMC R returns in 2019 and takes the KTM READY TO RACE approach to its purest incarnation on the street; lightweight, agile, addictive single-cylinder punch, premium chassis components and now backed up by leading performance enhancing electronics. Powering the KTM 690 SMC R is the latest generation LC4 engine; the world’s most powerful production single-cylinder engine dishes up a devastating 74 hp and 73.5 Nm of torque. Getting the most from this performance in all situations is a suite of rider assistance systems. Two ride modes – Street and Sport – cornering ABS, lean angle-sensitive motorcycle traction control (MTC), motor slip regulation (MSR) and Quickshifter+ are new to the game, with the familiar Supermoto ABS mode aiding rear slides with front-end confidence. All this is packaged in an updated chassis and new subframe, supported by the latest generation fully-adjustable WP APEX suspension and wrapped up in slimmer, sharper bodywork. Better still, the fun goes further with a 1.5-liter larger fuel tank.

Featurew ENGINE & EXHAUST The latest 690 LC4 engine is all about smooth, powerful performance with the right mix of character to propel you in and out of corners at warp speed. Every aspect of the LC4 engine design is geared towards providing a more heart pounding riding experience. ENGINE THE SUPER SINGLE The LC4 690 cc single-cylinder engine combines powerful acceleration from the very lowest revs with an outstanding free-revving nature and refined engine running. Another big plus is besides the engine being extremely economical with fuel it also has long service intervals of 10,000 km, keeping running costs low. AIRBOX EASY ACCESS FILTER Accessing the airfilter for maintenance is easy thanks to the airbox being located under the seat. This makes servicing the bike simple, and strees free, at the end of a long day’s ride. EXHAUST STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST The exhaust system is made using high-quality stainless steel. It’s routed as close as possible to the bike to h CHASSIS Developed on supermoto tracks and tested in a wide range of street riding scenarios, the all-new chassis handles superbly and behaves like a champion, no matter how far you push the limit. High-end equipment like WP APEX suspension the latest Brembo brakes will give you the control you need when pushing the limits.

FRAME STRONG YET LIGHT The frame is manufactured from lightweight sections of top-quality chrome-molybdenum steel tubing of varying thicknesses. This type of balanced frame design provides high torsional rigidity for best handling and rideability, while a more specifically-tuned longitudinal flexibility can absorb the wheel impact energy, supporting the suspension for reduced rider fatigue. SUSPENSION PRECISE HANDLING Highly rigid forged triple clamps with an offset of 24 mm (adjustable to 22 mm), provide a solid grip on the forks for precise handling. They allow forwards and backwards adjustment of the handlebars in four different positions for optimum rider ergonomics.

WHEELS & TYRES PURE CONTROL The KTM wheels use lightweight, CNC machined hubs and high-end black 17” rims to combine maximum strength with minimum weight. They are fitted with Bridgestone S21 tires for maximum performance on the street, and plenty of grip for racetrack usage. BRAKES SERIOUS STOPPING POWER Sublime class-leading BREMBO brakes combined with lightweight wave discs – 320 mm diameter front and 240 mm on the rear wheel – provide a crucial combination of stopping power and a consistent brake feel. FUEL TANK AMPLE FUEL, OPTIMUM FEEL The completely redesigned larger fuel tank now has a capacity of 13.5 liters. It also acts as a load-bearing part of the chassis, making it stiffer for a more optimal feel. ERGONOMICS & COMFORT The 690 SMC R’s ergonomics have been completely redesigned making the bike look sharper and slimmer. This, along with a reduced seat height, promotes better handling and improved comfort while also allowing extreme lean angles for those prepared to really crank it over in turns. HANDLEBAR OPTIMUM CONTROL The lightweight tapered 808 mm wide handlebars are rubber mounted to reduce vibrations. Their width and shape are aimed at providing optimum control in all situations. FOOTPEGS SLIM YET COMFORTABLE The slim profile needed for maximum lean angle is helped by short footrests, while a removable rubber insert ensures comfort with street boots. SEAT EASY ACCESS, OPTIMAL CONTROL The 690 SMC R’s seat height is 890mm for ease of access without sacrificing lean angle, while the seat material is finely grained for grip with leather suits. SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS Gaining full control over your supermoto while maximizing its performance has never been easier with the updated electronics package that includes cornering ABS, and MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) for optimal street-riding performance. Benefit from the full range of assistance modes with user-friendly adjustability. Quickshifter + allows effortless electronically assisted clutch-free gear shifts, whether changing up or down.
