KTM 690 SMC R (2021)

The KTM 690 SMC R is a supermoto force to be reckoned with, its LC4 engine delivering a thrilling combination of torque and pace. This is a bike that eats up twisty roads, dispatches traffic with ease, and begs to be unleashed on a track. Its chrome-molybdenum steel chassis, WP APEX suspension, and supermoto ergonomics all work in harmony to create a ride that’s as agile as it is aggressive.

Purposeful design and cutting-edge technology come together to make the 2021 KTM 690 SMC R a true marvel of motorcycling. With its new ABS modulator, Cornering ABS, and Supermoto ABS modes, this bike offers unparalleled levels of control and feel. And with its large, high-quality Brembo brakes, stopping performance is taken to new heights.

As the latest symbol of KTM’s supermoto excellence, the 690 SMC R boasts a sharp, modern look that’s sure to turn heads on the road or track. With its Euro5-compliant catalytic converter and the option to click into a 35kW power setting for A2 license holders, this bike is more accessible than ever. As KTM’s Product Manager Joachim Sauer puts it, the LC4 has always been a powerful companion for those who crave the thrill of the ride.
