• Engine

When maximum power is needed, there is no alternative to the stunning engine of the KTM 450 SMR. It's performance has been demonstrated in the world's toughest competitions such as the AMA 450 Supercross World Championship and the MXGP World Championship.

The SOHC power plant is the perfect example of the advanced engineering techniques offering a peak power at an overall weight of just 27.3 kg. Mass-centralisation is key in the engine design, enabling chassis engineers to position the engine closer to the centre of gravity for great handling and manoeuvrability.

• Frame

The KTM 450 SMR benefits from a lightweight high-tech frame made of chromium molybdenum steel sections that include hydro-formed elements welded together by state-of-the-art robots. The specific design guarantees a precisely defined stiffness in conjunction with an optimal geometry. As a result, the rider enjoys first-class feedback, responsive handling that works perfectly with the suspension to provide excellent agility at low and high-speed. The subframe is made from extremely lightweight and highly stable aluminum sections that provide great feeling for the rider.

• Handlebar

The KTM 450 SMR is equipped with high-strength aluminum tapered handlebar, made by NEKEN. The handlebar is fixed in rubber damped mountings, which allow for two different positions. The handlebars come standard with an ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI lock-on grip, which does not require any wire or glue, on the left.

• Decals

The new aggressive-looking graphics are designed to send a clear message to the competition that this is not a bike that should be taken lightly.

• TRACTION CONTROL

TRACTION CONTROL is a highly beneficial feature on a Supermoto, it guarantees more efficient traction and better control of the bike, especially when making the transition from asphalt to dirt. It can be activated or deactivated by the handlebar map switch during riding.
