SWINGRAM
The KTM 450 SMR’s one-piece swingarm, is manufactured using a gravity die-cast production process, for exceptional strength at the lowest possible weight. It offers a wide range of adjustment for the rear wheel, allowing for a shorter wheelbase on tighter twisty tracks, or a longer wheelbase for greater stability on longer track. The swingarm’s chain […]
SEATS
The KTM 450 SMR features a perfectly ergonomically designed seat and excellent seat contour and comfort for the rider. Incorporating additional silicon strips on the seat area, it gives the rider more grip and a better feel.
REAR SHOCK
A Supermoto-specific set-up of the WP XACT rear shock absorber provides advanced damping characteristics for unsurpassed traction and energy absorption, while keeping a compact and lightweight design. The component is fully adjustable and matched to a linkage system with a specific geometry to deliver the greatest possible traction and absorption.
LAUNCH CONTROL
By pushing both buttons on the map switch, the rider can activate LAUNCH CONTROL, which ensures a composed launch off the startline. It reduces the maximum engine speed for the very first moment of the start to give better control. The EFI control lamp mounted on the upper triple clamps flashes when the function is […]
HANDLEBAR MAP SELECT SWITCH
With one touch of a button, the map switch gives the rider the chance to select between a standard or more aggressive map setting . This is particularly useful for changing track or weather conditions or for a rider that is looking for more control as he begins to fatigue.
FUEL TANK
The KTM 450 SMR is fitted with lightweight polyethylene fuel tank. The shape of the fuel tank allows for slim ergonomics without compromise to the 7 liter fuel capacity. The filler cap has an inside thread that makes for easy and reliable closure.
FRONTFORK
The KTM 450 SMR model is fitted with the super-lightweight WP XACT fork with AER technology and feature updated settings for Supermoto use. It is a 48 mm USD air-sprung fork with a capsulated air spring on the left side and pressurized oil chamber for progressive and consistent damping on the right. In combination with […]
FOOT PEGS
Sophisticated ´no-dirt´ footpegs prevent clogging of the footpeg pivot. Looking for a higher riding position? Then just mount the footpegs of the 2019 EXC models, which are 6mm higher than that of the SMR version.
EXHAUST
When it comes to power delivery and performance, the exhaust on the KTM 450 SMR plays a key role and packs a punch that is hard to beat. It features a model specific header pipe with an advanced resonator called FDH (Flow Design Header), which is a small chamber around the pipe. The design allows […]
ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The state-of-the-art KEIHIN Engine Management System, with electronic fuel injection, features a 44 mm throttle body. The injector position guarantees optimal atomization of the fuel and air on the way to the combustion chamber, resulting in instant response and maximum performance when opening the throttle. There are also separate systems for cold starting and idle […]
E-STARTER
The standard electric starter on the KTM 450 SMR uses a proven starter drive and a strong starter motor made by Mitsuba. As demonstrated time and time again, it provides quick and reliable starting, saving you precious time and energy when you need it most.
CYLINDER PISTON
The lightweight aluminium cylinder is an engineering masterpiece. Featuring a 95 mm bore and a CP bridge-box-type piston which weighs only 320g. It’s design contributes to the engine’s low vibrations and overall engine speed strength. Due to the low oscillating masses, the engine is not only powerful, but also displays extremely lively characteristics.
CYLINDER HEAD
The KTM 450 SMR is fitted with a lightweight, compact SOHC (single overhead camshaft) cylinder head. The design focusses on mass centralization, contributing to overall handling excellence. The overhead camshaft has a friction-optimized surface and valve timing that delivers impressive responsiveness. The four ultra-lightweight titanium valves (intake 40 mm, exhaust 33 mm) are activated via […]
CRANKSHAFT
The inertia produced by the crankshaft is carefully calculated to deliver optimal traction and ride-ability from the powerful 450cc plant. The crankshaft is specifically positioned to harness the rotating mass in the ideal centre of gravity resulting in a lightweight and agile handling feel. A plain big end bearing comprising of two force-fitted bearing shells […]
Crankcases and engine covers
The compact engine cases are manufactured using a high pressure die-cast production process that helps with weight reduction, while retaining strength and durability. The design allows for optimal shaft arrangements close to the center of gravity, resulting in better mass centralization and easier ride-ability. The engine covers feature a smart surface structure that reduces wear […]
COOLING
Maintaining the optimal engine temperature is crucial to ensuring consistent horsepower throughout the ride. The KTM 450 SMR features radiators which are positioned for a lower the center of gravity. Their design matches the shrouds perfectly and offers a great slim feel to the ergonomics. By using CFD technology (computational fluid dynamics) together with a […]
CLUTCH
The KTM 450 SMR features a SUTER antihopping clutch which prevents rear wheel instability and hopping when braking hard into the apex of a turn, for maximum control and perfect Supermoto-style drifting. The Brembo hydraulic system guarantees perfect clutch modulation.
BRAKES
High-tech Brembo S.p.A brakes have always been standard equipment on all KTM motocross and enduro bikes. Stopping power on Supermoto is crucial, that is why the KTM 450 SMR has been equipped with Brembo’s 4-piston radially mounted caliper and supported with Bremob’s radial master cylinder working together with a 310 mm front disc. A single […]
BATTERY
The KTM 450 SMR model features a, super lightweight 2 Ah Lithium Ion starter battery, ensuring quick and effective starting of the engine. The voltage regulator and condenser, as well as all the electrical components are packaged in a common area below the seat, making the entire system compact and reliable.
BALANCER SHAFT
The multifunctional side mounted counter balance shaft masterfully balances all the oscillating forces, while also driving the water pump. It effectively keeps engine vibrations to a minimum, resulting in the smoothest ride, even at the highest engine speeds.
