SUPREME SUPERMOTO
PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE

The 2021 KTM 690 SMC R raises the bar for die-hard street outlaws by challenging every convention. With the usual winning formula of an agile, class-leading chassis, latest evolution LC4 motor, and sophisticated rider aids, this is the most complete street-legal supermotard package available.

ENGINE
The legendary 690 cc LC4 single-cylinder powering the KTM 690 SMC R boasts explosive acceleration, exceptional fuel economy, and 10,000 km service intervals. This, along with a host of sophisticated electronic aids like Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) and Quickshifter+, step this supermoto up into a new realm of elevated performance.
RIDE MODES
Easily switchable between STREET and SUPERMOTO MODES make the KTM 690 SMC R as usable as it is raw. STREET MODE allows you to commute with confidence, offering full traction control, anti-wheelie control, and a softer throttle response. SUPERMOTO MODE unlocks the hooligan ­ providing an aggressive throttle response with reduced traction control to allow wheelies and tiresmoking drifts.
ADVANCED ABS FEATURES
For 2021, the KTM 690 SMC R benefits from enhanced ABS settings across ride modes. STREET MODE activates full ABS functionality from both front and rear wheels, with cornering ABS allowing confident cornering in all weather conditions. SUPERMOTO MODE de-activates ABS on the rear wheel, allowing big skids and aggressive corner-entry drifts.
