KTM 690 SMC R 2023

KTM 690 SMC R 2023

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

**Conclusion** The Triumph Street Triple RS impresses as a sporty naked bike with precise and stable riding performance, excellent brakes and a powerful three-cylinder engine.

Despite the tight setup and the necessary warm-up time for the tyres, the Street Triple RS offers an outstanding riding experience for riders with sporting ambitions. Minor weaknesses such as the cumbersome operation of the joystick and the moderate spray protection are more than compensated for by the bike's versatility and customisation options.
