KTM 690 SMC-R (2012 - 2013)

The 690 SMC-R is a masterclass in minimalist, lightweight design, where every ounce counts towards delivering an exhilarating riding experience. This brawny single-cylinder engine, borrowed from the Duke R, packs a punch, propelling the bike with ease, thanks to its even greater power reserves. The LC4 power plant is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, an APTC anti-hopping clutch, and electronic fuel injection, making it a formidable force on the road and track.

With a dry weight of under 140 kilos, the 690 SMC-R is a razor-sharp tool for skilled riders, who will appreciate its perfectly balanced layout, self-supporting polymer tail tank, and innovative, die-cast swingarm. The new, ergonomically optimised seat provides increased comfort, while the fully adjustable WP suspension, with revised spring rates and optimised weight distribution, ensures razor-sharp agility.

The Continental SportAttack SM tires, with their outstanding grip, are the perfect complement to this finely tuned machine, which is sure to leave even the most seasoned riders grinning from ear to ear.
