DRIFT AND LET RIP

You'd be forgiven for thinking the KTM 450 SMR couldn't possibly get any better. But we'll let that slide - just as you'll be doing when you throw a leg over this latest iteration of pure Supermoto perfection. With a frame that is specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, stability, and exceptional rider feedback and an engine that blows away the competition with unrelenting power delivery - not to mention the electronic wizardry to rival sports bikes - The KTM 450 SMR is a purpose-built racer with one simple goal - winning championships.

ENGINE

ENGINE

The 2024 KTM 450 SMR boasts one of the most manic 4-stroke powerplants in the pits, with its SOHC engine proving to be the perfect example of advanced engineering. The engine is positioned to lower the front sprocket, which together with the benefits of mass centralization and light engine weight, deliver anti-squat behavior of the chassis that is second to none. With massive peak power output and an overall engine weight of only (26.8 kg), you'll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

CYLINDER HEAD

CYLINDER HEAD

A compact and lightweight SOHC cylinder head package uses a short profile with the camshaft located close to the center of gravity, improving handling. Lightweight valves are actuated via a DLC coated rocker arm with optimized timing, specifically designed to deliver precise levels of torque and throttle response. The diameter of the inlet valves is 40 mm, while on the exhaust it is 33 mm. Optimized intake ports allow higher flow coefficients, resulting in a more efficient and powerful engine, with a clever valve cover reducing the number of mounting screws, and a single oil spray jet guaranteeing efficient cooling while keeping the weight low.

CRANKSHAFT

CRANKSHAFT

Designed with weight reduction and performance in mind, the crankshaft in the KTM 450 SMR engine improves throttle response and contributes to the lightweight feel of the motorcycle. The perfect balance of rotating masses is achieved by balancing the weights of the crankshaft flywheel and the rotor, and thanks to the innovative counter balancer shaft, engine vibration is kept to an absolute minimum.

CRANKCASES AND ENGINE COVERS

CRANKCASES AND ENGINE COVERS

The KTM 450 SMR engine is designed with mass centralization and weight reduction as the main criteria. As a result, the crankcases have been designed to house the internal components of the engine in the perfect position to achieve an ideal center of gravity, while adding the least possible weight. The cases are manufactured using a high-pressure die-cast production process, resulting in thinner but more reliable wall thickness. And just to add a little extra - the KTM brand logo gives the black powder-coated engine cover the ultimate READY TO RACE look.

CLUTCH

Exceptional stopping power is guaranteed by high-performance Brembo brakes, featuring a 4-piston radially mounted caliper in combination with a radial master cylinder working together with a 310 mm disc at the front. A single-piston caliper and a 220mm disc are fitted to the rear.

FUEL TANK

FUEL TANK

The KTM 450 SMR is fitted with a 7.2-liter polythene fuel tank that incorporates a threaded fuel tank cap and an integrated fuel pump. The fuel pump features an external fuel line which is specifically positioned to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage while ensuring a steady, uninterrupted flow of fuel.

HANDLEBAR

HANDLEBAR

The KTM 450 SMR is equipped with a tapered handlebar made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN. The proprietary KTM bend delivers optimal control and unintended rider impacts are absorbed by the KTM branded handlebar pad, which features the same design patterns as seen on the frame protectors and tank spoilers - now that's a touch of class.

FOOTPEGS

FOOTPEGS

The FEA-designed footpegs offer a bigger contact area for better control of the bike while standing on the pegs, but also make them less susceptible to hooking up when leaning or sliding down low. This was achieved by a narrow frame mounting design.

SEAT

SEAT

A flat seat profile and high-grip orange seat cover provide exceptional rider movement and control, with a handy grip pocket under the seat, just above the air filter box, making lifting the bike off its paddock stand a lot easier.

BODYWORK

BODYWORK

The 2024 KTM 450 SMR features an optimal rider triangle, providing ample knee contact - especially when standing on the pegs - with enough gripping surfaces all around. In terms of graphics, the 2024 KTM 450 SMR takes its cues from the early 1990s, featuring a little sliver of purple between the contrasting orange graphics.

HANDLEBAR MAP SELECT SWITCH

HANDLEBAR MAP SELECT SWITCH

The 2024 KTM 450 SMR features a map select switch as standard, allowing the racer to switch between 2 engine maps. Map 1 provides a linear, predictable power delivery, while Map 2 gives it the full beans with crisp, explosive power output. Using the same switchgear, the rider can toggle between traction control, launch control, and the Quickshifter functions.

QUICKSHIFTER

QUICKSHIFTER

The Quickshifter function can be activated or deactivated via the map select switch, allowing for clutchless upshifts, with the throttle fully opened. A sensor on the shift drum notices the force on the gear shift lever, sends the signal to the engine control unit and the ignition timing is interrupted. To prevent unintended shifts and false neutrals, the function is only active from 2nd to 5th gear.

TRACTION CONTROL

TRACTION CONTROL

When the tarmac suddenly becomes dirt track, you need to keep full forward momentum. Luckily, the KTM 450 SMR has superior traction control for that exact eventuality. Traction control is selected to an on or off position from the switch and functions by analyzing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which RPM increases in the engine. If the RPM increases too quickly, the EMS registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel ensuring maximum traction.

BATTERY

BATTERY

Along with the benefit of an easy electric starting system, a Li-Ion 2.0 Ah battery is fitted to the KTM 450 SMR. The Li-Ion battery weighs approximately 1 kg less than a conventional lead battery meaning the convenience of electric starting is delivered while keeping overall weight to an absolute minimum.

LAUNCH CONTROL

LAUNCH CONTROL

Rocketing off the line and into the holeshot is made even easier with launch control. With the engine at idle, launch control is engaged by pressing the traction control and Quickshifter buttons simultaneously. This function limits the amount of power to the rear wheel for take-off, improving traction and preventing wheelspin under hard acceleration.
