The KTM 990 Supermoto R is a high-performance motorcycle that embodies the essence of supermoto riding. Powered by the potent 999cc LC8 engine, this 75-degree V-twin produces a thrilling 115 horsepower. The addition of Brembo brakes with monoblock radial-mount calipers and fully adjustable suspension front and rear provides unparalleled handling and control.
The Supermoto R boasts a lightweight forged Marchesini wheel, shaving off 4.4 pounds of rotating mass, while the four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers and two-piston rear caliper deliver exceptional stopping power.
Riding the KTM 990 Supermoto R is an exhilarating experience, with its responsive engine character and agile handling making it a joy to navigate twisty roads and urban environments. As KTM’s PR Manager Thomas Kuttruff aptly put it, “Our heritage is in supermoto, and we’ve distilled that essence into this incredible machine.
