STREET SLAYER.
The KTM 690 SMC R raises the bar in the supermotos stakes, thanks in part to a lightweight chassis, a legendary 690 LC4 motor, and a sophisticated electronics package. Whether you express your asphalt-sliding talent on mountain roads or on the apexes of your favorite 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.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:
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 LC4 690 cc single-cylinder engine combines powerful acceleration from the very lowest revs with 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.
CYLINDER HEAD: A lightweight, the compact cylinder head contains four valves and a single camshaft placed over the intake valves, and a secondary balancer shaft driven by the timing chain. The intake valves are actuated by finger followers and the exhaust valves by a rocker arm.
RESONATOR CHAMBER: A resonator chamber balances out pulses in the intake tract and makes the throttle response smoother with reduced vibrations.
ERGONOMICS & COMFORT: The KTM 690 SMC R boasts a sharp, slim profile, perfectly suited for spirited supermoto riding. This, along with a low seat height, promotes better handling and comfort, while also allowing extreme lean angles for those prepared to really crank it over in turns.
SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS: Gaining full control over your supermoto, while maximizing its performance has never been easier thanks to a sophisticated electronics package that includes cornering ABS, MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control), and a full range of assistance modes with user-friendly adjustability. Quickshifter+ allows effortless electronically assisted clutch-free gear shifts, whether changing up or down.
RIDE MODES: There are two ride modes: "Street" mode gives a sporty throttle response where cornering-sensitive MTC limits wheel slip and keeps wheelies to a minimum for optimal street-riding performance, while "Sport" mode provides more aggressive throttle response with reduced traction control (without cornering sensitivity) to allow drifts and full control of the slide, aimed at the track or very sporty street usage. The modes can be easily switched over from the handlebar, making adjustments on the fly possible.
