You get the all-new KTM 890 SMT. With no compromises and no catches, the KTM 890 SMT picks up where the iconic KTM 990 SMT left off, delivering a performance and handling package that rockets its way to the top of the midweight sport-touring segment.Features may include:ON TARMACRider aidsKTM rider aids are developed to enhance riding experience by providing more control in different riding scenarios. ABS, MTC, and specially engineered RIDE MODES allow you to get the most out of your machine when barreling down the motorway, or when attacking twisty mountain roads. SUPERMOTOSupermoto ABSSo, it makes sense then that any KTM motorcycle bearing the SMT name has a need to deliberately execute slides. SUPERMOTO ABS allows the rider to lock the rear wheel as and when required - a prerequisite for committed Supermoto riding. The ABS function remains active on the front wheel while activated, too. BEHIND THE BARSBodyworkNot to be mistaken for anything else on the mountain. The KTM 890 SMT has a double fender design, composed of a high front fender - that takes inspiration from the KTM 450 SMR - and a lower splash guard which is connected to the fork leg protectors. This, along with spoilers and rear side panels that are slightly wider than the seat for improved control and to reduce wear and tear on the seat, and in-mold graphics for further durability, make the KTM 890 SMT ready for anything.ON THE CHARGEFrameThe overall geometry of the KTM 890 SMT was developed for sharp handling, and comfort when attacking the mountain passes- with unchallenged hillclimb capability. Strength was a big consideration in the design, so a tubular Chromoly steel frame is used with the engine acting as a stressed member to reduce weight and overall size. Additionally, the compact frame allows for a long swingarm which improves traction without compromise handling.
