2026 KTM 690 SMC R Base

2026 KTM 690 SMC R

The KTM 690 SMC R obliterates the competition, proving itself as the undisputed king of its class. Providing the rider with agile handling, best-in-class power, and rider focused ergonomics, the KTM 690 SMC R embodies the notion of READY TO RACE with 110% dedication to its craft. From sliding into corners, power-wheelies over crests, and hard blasts through tight mountain passes, the King of supermoto for the street is on the attack.

Features may include:

• Adjustablity

Finding the perfect setup when attacking tight apexes is easy, thanks to the KTM 690 SMC R's fully adjustable suspension, brake and clutch levers, and footrests - not to mention a complete PowerPart catalog filled with performance and style enhancing add-ons.

• Engine

Welcome to the latest generation of the legendary KTM LC4 single-cylinder powerhouse! Still as bulletproof and hard-hitting as ever, but updated from the previous generation with new clutch and stator covers, an all-new crankcase, an improved oil delivery system, and - most importantly - more performance.

• Ergonomics

Every surface the rider touches on the KTM 690 SMC R - from the tank spoilers to the cable routing near the footpegs - has been optimized for maximum performance. Ergonomically, riders have complete freedom of movement without any fear of hooking boots or uncomfortable riding positions when getting knees (an elbows) down.

• Frame

A little stiffer than previous generations, the KTM 690 SMC R is built around a familiar trellis frame, manufactured from lightweight sections of top-quality chrome-molybdenum steel tubing. Engineered to have high torsional rigidity for the best blend of handling, it is also specifically tuned for longitudinal flexibility to absorb wheel impact energy.
