Mile | 12.3 sec | Top Speed | 222.0 km/h | Dubbed by its manufacturer ‘the queen of negative acceleration,’ the new KTM 990 SMT has been d. One of the world’s best big-bore supermotos will now feature an anti-lock braking system.
The system weighs in at only one kilogram and was developed in close collaboration with specialist supplier Bosch. It has been specifically adapted to the requirements of a very sporty Supermoto.
Powered by a liquid-cooled 115bhp V-Twin engine, the long-distance supermoto SMT also boasts Brembo radial four pot callipers which, KTM claim, “results is a sensitive ABS braking system that lets the 990 SMT stop safely and with pinpoint accuracy on any surface and from any speed.”
Designed specifically to be as minimal as possible and using what KTM dubs “rollover detection,” the system can be turned off manually for stints in the dirt.
Considered by some a 990 Super Duke equipped for extended-range comfort and fitted with standard detachable soft luggage, the bike features long-travel suspension and an upright seating position, while the fairing and flyscreen provide wind protection.
The KTM 990 Supermoto T is likely to be a true competitor for bikes like the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring, Yamaha Super Tenere, BMW RT1200GS, and other road-going adventure bikes that feature the braking technology.
Color range for the 2011 KTM 990 SMT includes black, orange and white. |
