01. CLUTCH IN, REVS UP!

PLUSH PERFORMANCE
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.

INFOTAINMENT
TFT DISPLAY & CONNECTIVITY

• A 4.2" H42 TFT dashboard takes prime position ahead of the rider, featuring a unique, specially-designed user interface to suit the compact screen size. Made from bonded glass, the TFT screen also boasts a special coating and polarization to reduce glare and increase visibility in all lighting conditions. Riders can also access music, incoming calls, turn-by-turn navigation, and Ride Modes via the dashboard - complete with a USB port for device charging duties.

READY TO SHRED
BODYWORK

• With an ergo triangle specifically designed to cater to everything from fast corners to casual commutes, the KTM 690 SMC R boasts aggressive, slim bodywork. This has been perfectly styled to allow for easy transitions between riding on the street and the odd dirt section. The bodywork is also made from proven, flexible, and long-lasting PP plastic material that is better suited for supermoto and aggressive riding.

02. DROP THE CLUTCH!

POWER HUNGRY
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.

PICK YOUR POWER
TRACK MODE

• Unlock even more customization and ability with the optional TRACK Mode. Thanks to the full color TFT display, riders can use TRACK Mode to toggle additional settings like Launch Control, Anti-wheelie Mode, a slip-adjuster, and Motor-slip regulation at the touch of a button.

03. HIT THE ROAD

PEACE OF MIND
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.

TAKE A SEAT
SEAT

• The KTM 690 SMC R features an 35 in (899 mm) seat height with an ultra-grippy seatcover that perfectly matches its striking inmold decal set. The seat cover also boasts an SMC-R-specific texture to work with leather race suits to provide grip and uninhibited rider movement.

04. CARVE IT UP

THE BACKBONE
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.

CURVED PIVOT
SWINGARM

• Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge fork with 230 mm travel keeps things in check, with adjustable compression and rebound in 30 easy clicks for easy adjustment. On the rear, any big hits are handled by a WP APEX Separate piston shock absorber with 230 mm of travel. The shock is also rebound adjustable with 20 clicks on the fly, while preload adjustment can be taken care of with a tool.
