KTM Supermoto (2012)

Wednesday, 18 July 2012 09:38 AM The 2012 KTM 990 Supermoto features a fuel-injected V-twin engine, which is the same motor used in the Super Duke and Adventure models but with a power output that sits midway between the two. This engine provides an increase of 17bhp over its predecessor, making it more responsive and spirited throughout the rev range. I think this boost in power makes the bike a lot more fun to ride, especially for performance enthusiasts.

Saturday, 28 April 2012 09:05 AM One of the notable improvements in the 2012 KTM 990 Supermoto is the increased fuel capacity, with a new 19-liter tank that is 1.5 liters larger than the previous model. This change is welcome, although the bike still has a relatively limited range of about 100-130 miles before needing to refuel. The lack of a fairing can also cause upper body strain during prolonged high-speed riding.

Saturday, 28 April 2012 08:53 AM The 2012 KTM 990 Supermoto boasts impressive handling capabilities, thanks to its tubular steel space frame, fully adjustable suspension, and high-quality brakes. The front suspension features a 48mm inverted telescopic fork, while the rear uses a cast aluminum swingarm with a cantilever monoshock. I believe these components make the bike incredibly stable and responsive, especially in cornering.

The bike has a seat height of 875mm and a wheelbase of 1510mm, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. The dry weight of 191kg contributes to its agile and nimble handling.
