For 2019, KTM has revised the chassis, engine, electronics and styling of the 690 SMC R supermoto. The new Dynamic LC4 690cc liquid-cooled single has less vibration and more power than before, with throttle-by-wire and a PASC slipper clutch.
A new chassis lowers the seat to a slightly more accessible 35 inches, while updated electronics includes cornering traction control (MTC) with two ride modes, cornering ABS with Supermoto mode and a standard Quickshifter+.
Returning is the latest fully adjustable WP APEX suspension, an ultra-light chrome-molybdenum trellis frame, a polymer rear fuel tank and quality Brembo brake components.

The Enduro R also gets the same updated LC4 engine as the SMC R, along with throttle-by-wire, dual balancer shafts and a PASC slipper clutch. Updated electronics include cornering ABS with off-road mode, Quickshifter +, MTC, motor slip regulation (MSR) and two ride modes: street and off-road.
Fully-adjustable WP XPLOR suspension boasts 9.8 inches of travel, and the Brembo braking system includes lightweight wave-style discs.
Pricing on both the 2019 690 SMC R and 690 Enduro R is TBD.
