KTM 690 SMC R (2019)

"WHAT TO BREAK When to go sideways it is not necessary to place the wheels on the ground or on the sand. For KTM , Eicma 2018 is also and above all the return to the team of its supermoto of medium displacement. Welcome back KTM 690 SMC R , and what a return! The differences with the ancestor also identify a layman. At least, he identifies them once the gas knob has been opened ...
THAT ENGINE Yes, because to equip 690 SMC R 2019 (like the sister 690 Enduro R ), is none other than the world's most powerful single - cylinder series . The new LC4 engine develops 74 horsepowerand 73.5 Nm of torque, but beyond the numbers, the brand new Austrian motard is a concentrate of electronics that is unequaled in the category. 
THAT LOOK A hint of its physical characteristics: KTM 690 SMC R 2019 grows in weight ( 146 kg dry, 11 kg more than the previous version) but also instyle , now more uniform to the Mattighofen range, and especially in thetank (+ 1.5 liters). It is enough to see thesaddle , now more hospitable and more functional also to control the bike at high speed. New WP suspension (fully adjustable front one), powerful braking system (320 mm disc with Brembo monoblock caliper front, 280 mm with floating disc at rear).
ELECTRONICS There was talk of technology: the new KTM 690 SMC R usesMCT traction control that can bedisengaged and adjusted on two levels (Street and Sport ), while the ABS Cornering now adds the Supermoto function to deactivate the program only at the rear end. The Quickshifter gearbox isalso electronically controlled . In short, there is no missing ingredient so that the new Central European motard can do "the mad" in complete safety. Curious to see it in more detail? Watch our live video from the Ktm stand at Eicma 2018."link
