KTM 690 SMC-R

Due to arrive end of October 2025.

Sliding at the apex to join the KTM SuperMotard army in the middle-weight battalion, the KTM 690 SMC-R brings unlimited fun to the masses. Just like its KTM 390 SMC-R brethren, it is engineered to dominate the asphalt—even the odd dirt section—with ease.

Now available at Lings Powersports, the 2026 KTM 690 SMC-R reigns supreme as a track-bred yet street-legal supermoto, delivering electrifying performance, razor-sharp handling, and KTM’s bold design in a lightweight, agile package.

Driven by the latest generation LC4 693 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine—with updated covers, crankcase, improved oil delivery, and enhanced emissions components (including a second heated oxygen sensor per CARB/Euro5+ regulations)—it delivers refined power while meeting stricter standards.

The ride-by-wire throttle opens up the 4.2″ TFT screen with phone pairing, turn-by-turn navigation, music control, and a handy USB port. Riders can select from multiple ride modes including Street, Sport, and optional Track mode featuring Launch Control, Anti-wheelie, Slip Adjuster, and Motor-Slip Regulation. Want more edge? Add on the optional Sport ABS for aggressive, late-intervention braking.

A precision-engineered chromoly trellis frame—stiffer yet flex-tuned for real-world control—balances rigidity with impact-absorbing flexibility, while the WP APEX 48 mm split-forks and rear APEX shock (each offering rich adjustment via 30/20 clicks and preload) ensure razor-sharp agility and track stability.

Braking duty is handled by potent components: a powerful front 320 mm rotor (with a radial-mount caliper and configurable Sport ABS) and a nimble 240 mm rear disc, optimized for high-speed precision and sliding fun.

With an ergonomics package that’s fully optimized—grippy 890 mm seat, slim tank and bodywork, low-profile footpegs, and race-style ergonomics—this bike invites full attack on every corner.

Bold supermoto styling hits you instantly: minimalist aggressive bodywork, LED lighting front and back, and KTM’s signature Ready to Race aesthetic, all wrapped in light and flexible PP plastic.

Advanced electronics, premium chassis, and refined power meet an expressive supermoto shell for riders craving urban acrobatics or track-session domination. The 2026 KTM 690 SMC-R embodies sharp power delivery, championship-bred suspension, and lightweight aggression—your ultimate weapon on street or shred.
