KTM 990 Supermoto R (2011)

The KTM 990 Supermoto R is a force to be reckoned with on the road, boasting a potent 999cc LC8 V-Twin engine that pumps out a substantial 116 horsepower.

Its sophisticated electronic fuel injection system ensures a remarkably smooth partial load response, while its radial Brembo Monoblock four-pot callipers and Bosch 9M+ ABS provide razor-sharp braking capabilities.

But what truly sets the 990 SM R apart is its exceptional handling and ride dynamics, thanks to its 48mm USD forks by WP and rear shock from the same maker.

This potent combination makes for a thrilling riding experience, one that’s both exhilarating and comfortable.

Its lightweight and compact design, coupled with its intelligent multi-function balancer shaft, make it a masterclass in engineering, and one that leaves all other Supermotos in its wake. The KTM 990 Supermoto R is, without a doubt, the most radical twin-cylinder Supermoto on the market.
