KTM 690 SMC R '26: The definition of Supermoto.
The KTM 690 SMC R '26 continues to be the benchmark in the Supermoto segment. This motorcycle offers a pure riding experience, combining the explosive power of the most advanced single-cylinder production engine with an extremely agile chassis, ready to dominate any circuit or winding road.
LC4 693cc Engine:
The heart of the model is the legendary LC4 (Liquid Cooled, 4-stroke) engine, the most powerful production single-cylinder available. With a displacement of 693 cc, it offers impressive power and massive torque, delivered controllably thanks to the Ride-by-Wire system. The engine is light, compact, and decisively contributes to the motorcycle's unrivaled power-to-weight ratio.
Race Chassis and Handling:
The tubular "trellis" frame made of chrome-molybdenum steel, along with the cast aluminum swingarm, ensures optimal rigidity and excellent feedback. The reduced weight and race-oriented geometry make the 690 SMC R a master of cornering and quick maneuvers. The 17-inch Supermoto wheels are equipped with high-performance tires, providing the necessary grip for extreme lean angles.
Advanced Electronic Package:
The 2026 model benefits from the latest electronic assistance package. This includes:
- Lean-angle sensitive Cornering ABS: Optimized for a Supermoto, it allows efficient braking even at high lean angles.
- Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC): Monitors the lean angle and wheel slip, providing maximum traction on any surface.
- Ride Modes (Street / Supermoto): The Supermoto mode disables ABS on the rear wheel, allowing controlled drifting into corners.
- Quickshifter+: Enables ultra-fast up and down shifts without using the clutch.
Aggressive Design and Aesthetics:
With an aggressive aesthetic specific to KTM and the vibrant Orange/Blue color scheme, the KTM 690 SMC R '26 not only performs but also looks exceptional. High-quality components, such as the latest generation Brembo calipers and fully adjustable WP APEX suspension, complete the package, making this model the ultimate choice for Supermoto enthusiasts.
