Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 SMC R 2026
The KTM 690 SMC R 2026 impressively demonstrates how an already powerful single-cylinder can be further improved. It offers more power, a significantly upgraded electronics package, less maintenance and at the same time remains true to its character. Despite a slight increase in weight, it is more agile than ever and impresses in both sporty and everyday use. For NoPain, one thing is certain: the SuMo crown belongs back in Mattighofen in 2025.
Ducati Hypermotard V2 SP 2026
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 SP makes supermoto riding accessible and there is plenty of supermoto DNA in the Hyper. Controllable without losing the fun factor. The 890 cubic centimetre V2 with 120.4 Horsepower delivers enough power for real supermoto moments, but remains controllable. The Öhlins suspension and intelligent electronics turn even less experienced riders into drift artists. During intensive use, the brake pressure decreases slightly on the stop-and-go track, and the footrests that start to graze early are typical of supermotos. The biggest downer, however, is the price: 19,990 euros in Germany plus delivery costs take the model over the 20,000 euro mark. Yet the Hypermotard V2 SP is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an authentic supermoto feeling with Italian flair.
