How does the KTM 990 Supermoto R ride for bigger riders?
The KTM 990 Supermoto R is generally known for its nimble handling and having an aggressive riding position. But there’s a great debate about how well it fits riders of different sizes, especially taller and heavier riders. Bike reviewers say the bike feels cramped or unstable for some bigger riders, but the bike's adjustability and power make it good for a wide variety of body types, according to other bike reviewers. As a result, there has been talk about what modifications, ergonomic tweaks, and suspension setups could be made to better fit the bike to bigger riders. The question of whether the bike's performance characteristics change significantly with a heavier rider on board is also on the table. In this article we'll take a look at the various experiences and opinions of how the 990 SMR does or does not cater to riders of all sizes and if there are any changes that may need to occur in order for the larger enthusiast to be able to enjoy this iconic supermoto to its fullest potential.
Being a 6'2" rider, I find the 990 SMR a surprisingly comfortable bike. Taller folks will find the upright position works well, and there is plenty of legroom. No complaints here!
