2023 KTM SMC 690 R, 2023 KTM SMC 690 R<br/><br/><p><strong>DESCRIPTION:</strong></p><p>The KTM 690 SMC R raises the bar in the supermotos stakes, thanks in part to a lightweight chassis, a legendary 690 LC4 motor and a sophisticated electronics package. Whether you express your tarmac-sliding talent on mountain roads or on the apexes of your favourite track, you'll be drifting into the future with a maxed-out grin and your veins coursing with adrenaline. Handling is enhanced by the latest fully-adjustable WP APEX suspension, so all you have to worry about is focusing on the road ahead and twisting the throttle to the stoppers.</p><p><strong>Engine</strong></p><p>The LC4 690 cc single-cylinder engine combines powerful acceleration from the very lowest revs with an outstanding free-revving nature and refined engine running. Another big plus is besides the engine being extremely economical with fuel it also has long service intervals of 10,000 km, keeping running costs low.</p><p><strong>Cylinder head</strong></p><p>A lightweight, compact cylinder head contains four valves and a single camshaft placed over the intake valves, and a secondary balancer shaft driven by the timing chain. The intake valves are actuated by finger followers and the exhaust valves by a rocker arm.</p><p><strong>Balancer shaft</strong></p><p>Twin balancer shafts, one in front of the crankshaft and the other in the cylinder head reduce vibration, which ensures a smoother ride.</p><p><strong>Piston</strong></p><p>The lightweight and durable forged piston is designed to reduce reciprocating mass, and therefore improve engine response.</p><p><strong>Airbox</strong></p><p>Accessing the airfilter for maintenance is easy thanks to the airbox being located under the seat. This makes servicing the bike simple, and stress free, at the end of a long day's ride.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Chassis</strong></p><p><strong>Frame</strong></p><p>The trellis frame is manufactured from lightweight sections of top-quality chrome-molybdenum steel tubing of varying thicknesses. This type of balanced frame design provides high torsional rigidity for best handling and ride ability, while a more specifically-tuned longitudinal flexibility can absorb the wheel impact energy, supporting the suspension for reduced rider fatigue.</p><p><strong>Subframe</strong></p><p>Tried and trusted - the effective use of the rear fuel tank as the main structural element of the subframe, keeps weight low and eliminates design complexity.</p><p><strong>Triple clamp</strong></p><p>Highly rigid forged triple clamps with an offset of 24 mm (adjustable to 22 mm), provide a solid grip on the forks for precise handling. They allow forwards and backwards adjustment of the handlebars in four different positions for optimum rider ergonomics.</p><p><strong>Brakes</strong></p><p>The BREMBO brakes deliver class-leading stopping power that is combined with lightweight discs – 320 m
