The 2027 KTM 690 SMC R is a street-legal supermoto powered by the same 692.7cc LC4 single as the Enduro R, producing 77.9 hp and 73 Nm. WP APEX suspension (224mm front, 240mm rear travel) is tuned firmer for tarmac, running on 17-inch wheels front and rear rather than the Enduro's off-road sizes. A 4.2in TFT dash, lean-sensitive ABS/traction control and an optional Supermoto ABS mode round out the electronics package.
