KTM 990 Supermoto R

Introducing the 2010 KTM 990 Supermoto R, a standout in the supermoto category that blends the best of both worlds: the agility of a dirt bike and the power of a sportbike. With its striking gray, orange, and black color palette, the 990 Supermoto R is designed to turn heads both on the street and the track. KTM's commitment to performance and innovation is palpable in this motorcycle, which caters to riders seeking an exhilarating experience whether they are navigating urban landscapes or tackling twisty mountain roads. At the heart of the 990 Supermoto R lies a robust 999cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 113.98 HP at 9,000 RPM and delivers a punchy torque of 97 Nm at 7,000 RPM. This powerplant is finely tuned with an 11.5:1 compression ratio and is complemented by a Keihin EFI fuel system that ensures smooth throttle response and efficient fuel delivery. The 6-speed gearbox guarantees that riders can harness this power effectively, making quick acceleration and spirited riding a breeze. With a dry weight of just 189 kg (416.7 pounds), the motorcycle boasts an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 0.6031 HP/kg, allowing for nimble handling and exhilarating cornering capabilities. KTM didn’t skimp on technology or features when designing the 990 Supermoto R. The bike is built on a sturdy chromium-molybdenum trellis frame that provides a solid foundation while keeping weight to a minimum. The WP USD 48 mm front forks and WP mono shock rear suspension offer 160 mm and 180 mm of travel respectively, ensuring that the ride remains smooth and controlled, even on rough surfaces. Stopping power is provided by a dual Brembo disc setup at the front, while a single disc at the rear ensures reliable braking performance. Additional touches, like the electric starter and adjustable seat height of 875 mm (34.4 inches), make this motorcycle as practical as it is thrilling. **
