STEEL 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 sohisticated electronics package. Whether you express your tarmac-sliding talent on mountain roads or on the apexes of your favourite 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:
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 lows.
FRAME:
The trellis frame is manufactured from lightweight sections of top-quality chrome-molybdenum steel tubing of varying thickness. This type of balanced frame design provides high torsional rigidity for best handling and rideability, while a more specifically-tunes longitudinal flexibility can absorb the wheel impact energy, supporting the suspensions for reduced rider fatigue.
HADNLEBAR:
The lightweight tapered 808 mm wide hadnlebars are rubber mounted to reduce vibrations. Their width and shape are aimed at providing optimum control in all situations.
EXTERIOR COLORS:
• Gray and Orange
