KTM 690 SMC R 2025

KTM 690 SMC R 2025

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.

Powerful, revised LC4 engine

Longer maintenance intervals

Improved electronics

More robust anti-hopping clutch

Two standard and configurable riding modes

Optional Tech Pack with quickshifter & track functions

Agile handling

Fully adjustable suspension

High-quality Brembo brakes

Good ergonomics and riding position

LED-Headlights with powerful illumination

Powerful single-cylinder sound

High seat height (899 Millimeter)

Additional costs for Quickshifter & Track Pack

Slightly increased weight (162 kg)

Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2025

Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2025

The Husqvarna 701 supermoto is purely a fun bike, designed neither for long rides nor for high speeds. Light, powerful, minimalist. If the automatic gearbox had also fallen victim to this minimalist approach, it wouldn’t bother me.

Powerful engine

very nimble

good brakes

suspension with plenty of give

The automatic gearbox needs firm commands

the brakes make a rumbling noise from time to time
