KTM Unleashes the Ultimate Sport-Touring Machine with the New KTM 890 SMT

Posted On : 26-04-2023

KTM has launched a new addition to their sports-touring segment, the KTM 890 SMT. With an amalgamation of touring and supermoto, the KTM 890 SMT offers unbeatable performance, handling, and comfort. 

This new model has been developed with no compromises and delivers a complete package of features that meets the expectations of riders looking for a high-end sport-touring machine.

KTM has integrated advanced rider aids into the 890 SMT, including ABS, MTC, and specially engineered RIDE MODES. These features enhance the riding experience and provide better control in different scenarios, such as cruising down the motorway or attacking twisty mountain roads.

The latest-generation KTM MTC system ensures optimal acceleration and prevents uncontrolled lifting of the front wheel. The 6D Inertial Measurement Unit controls any slip at the rear wheel, controls power wheelies, and ensures smooth wheel landing and acceleration. 

The KTM 890 SMT is also equipped with a new 9.3 MP ABS unit, which continuously monitors the current dynamic state of the motorcycle and enhances safety and stability during braking.

The KTM 890 SMT is designed for long hours of comfortable riding. The single-piece Supermoto-style seat provides maximum grip and comfort, even when carving around mountain passes solo. It is also designed for touring with a pillion rider.

The bike's suspension has been reworked, allowing riders to customize their ride and adjust the settings for different types of riding usage. The shock absorber comes with a rebound damping adjuster and a manual spring preload adjuster that can be fine-tuned to suit various scenarios, such as carrying luggage, accommodating passengers, or tackling mountainous terrains.

The KTM 890 SMT boasts a dual fender configuration comprising a tall front fender and a shorter splash guard. The spoilers and rear side panels are slightly wider than the seat, which improves control and reduces wear and tear on the seat. 

The bike's aerodynamics have also been optimized with a new short wind deflector that provides just the right level of wind protection while maintaining the sporty KTM look.

The KTM 890 SMT also features a new state-of-the-art full 5" TFT display, informing riders about everything they need to know about the machine. The display features improved functionality and an optically bonded mineral glass display for optimum scratch and glare resistance. 

Moreover, motorcyclists can link their KTMconnect application to the TFT display using Bluetooth, enabling features like Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, music playback, incoming call notifications, and easy access to KTM's roadside assistance.

Featuring tank spoilers and rear side panels that are slightly wider than the seat, the KTM 890 SMT facilitates greater rider mobility, enabling smoother navigation on mountainous roads. The fuel tank's streamlined structure is fine-tuned to provide accurate handling and control while racing through narrow switchbacks on the Hillclimb. 

The bike's technology is unmatched in the mid-weight sports-touring segment, and riders can further enhance their experience with optional additions like Quickshifter+ and Cruise Control.

Overall, the KTM 890 SMT delivers an unbeatable performance and handling package, which combines touring and supermoto to create a powerful and comfortable machine. 

With advanced rider aids, customizable suspension, and unmatched technology, the KTM 890 SMT is set to rule the mid-weight sports-touring segment.
