Is the KTM 690 SMC R a good all-rounder to commute to the city and go on weekend adventures?
As a supermoto, the KTM 690 SMC-R is well established, but there are many riders who want to know if it is versatile. How is it on daily commutes through urban traffic but still fun on weekend rides on twisty backroads or light off-road trails? It turns out that a few riders are concerned about whether it is comfortable for longer trips, and some are worried about how it performs on the highway. The bike's agility is praised thanks to its single-cylinder engine and lightweight design, but what does that mean in the real world where you ride on varied surfaces? So let’s take a look at whether this bike is the jack of all trades or better at some things.
Absolutely! I've had my 690 SMC R for over a year, at this point using it both for commuting and weekend fun. In city traffic, it's nimble; a blast on snaky roads. For a nicer ride, just slap on a comfier seat; you can go for longer rides too.
