2026 KTM 690 SMC R

Crushing the competition, the KTM 690 SMC R has shown itself to be the unchallenged king of its class. With nimble handling, class-leading power, and ergonomics centered on the rider, the KTM 690 SMC R lives out the READY TO RACE idea, committing 110% to its craft. Whether it's sliding into turns, lofting power-wheelies over rises, or ripping hard through narrow mountain passes, the street's King of supermoto is on the offensive.

Features may include:

• Adjustability

Dialing in the perfect setup for attacking tight apexes is simple because the KTM 690 SMC R's suspension, brake and clutch levers, and footrests are all fully adjustable - and that's before counting a full PowerPart catalog packed with add-ons that boost performance and style.

• Engine

Meet the newest generation of the legendary KTM LC4 single-cylinder powerhouse! It's still bulletproof and still hits as hard as ever, yet it improves on the previous generation with new clutch and stator covers, a completely new crankcase, a better oil delivery system, and - above all - more performance.

• Ergonomics

On the KTM 690 SMC R, each surface the rider contacts - from the tank spoilers to the cable routing by the footpegs - has been optimized for maximum performance. In terms of ergonomics, riders get total freedom of movement, with no fear of snagging boots or awkward riding positions when dragging knees (and elbows) down.

• Frame

Slightly stiffer than earlier generations, the KTM 690 SMC R centers on a familiar trellis frame made from lightweight sections of premium chrome-molybdenum steel tubing. It is engineered for high torsional rigidity to give the best blend of handling, and it is also specifically tuned for longitudinal flex so it can absorb the energy of wheel impacts.
