Overview

The 2006 KTM 950 Super Enduro R stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to producing high-performance off-road machines that are both rugged and exhilarating. Nestled in the enduro-offroad category, this beast offers an aggressive blend of power, agility, and advanced engineering, catering to riders who thrive on challenging terrains and adrenaline-pumping adventures. With a robust, lightweight frame and an impressive power-to-weight ratio, the 950 Super Enduro R is more than just a motorcycle; it’s a ticket to conquering the wild. At the heart of the 950 Super Enduro R lies a powerful 942cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a thrilling 96.55 horsepower at 8500 RPM and a formidable torque of 95 Nm at 7000 RPM. This dynamic engine configuration, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, ensures smooth acceleration and the ability to tackle steep inclines or tough trails effortlessly. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine at optimal operating temperatures, while the Mikuni BST 40 carburettor guarantees precise fuel delivery, giving riders confidence in any situation. Whether you're grinding through rocky paths or ripping through muddy trails, the Super Enduro R offers an exhilarating riding experience that is both responsive and thrilling. The 2006 model boasts a host of features that enhance both performance and rider comfort. Its tubular chromoly space frame not only contributes to a lightweight structure but also provides exceptional stability and control. The advanced WP suspension system, featuring a 48 mm front fork with 300 mm of travel and a rear monoshock with 335 mm, absorbs the harshest impacts, allowing riders to navigate rugged landscapes with ease. Coupled with powerful braking capabilities from its single disc brakes—300 mm in the front and 240 mm in the rear—the Super Enduro R ensures that riders can stop on a dime, no matter the conditions. Additional features such as electric start and an impressive ground clearance of 296 mm round out the package, making this motorcycle a formidable contender in the enduro scene. **
