2026 KTM 450 SMR
2026 KTM 450 SMR for Sale at TeamMoto in QLD, VIC and ACT | Review Specifications, Features & Information
ALL OUT APEX ASSAULT
The KTM 450 SMR represents the only real all-aspect form of motorcycle sport. Taking all the best bits from the championship-winning KTM 450 SX-F and adding more asphalt bias like racing slicks, big brakes, and top-notch suspension. Simply put, it's READY TO RACE in the very purest form.
CLICK INTO ACTION
As always, the suspension boasts an easy tool-free setup at both ends, ensuring you chase down the podium in total control. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression control allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. The forks on the front end are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and top cap.
TOTAL TRACTION
The map select switch on the KTM 450 SMR features a simpler design, allowing for easier functionality in switching between 2 engine maps. Map 1 provides a more linear power curve, while Map 2 punches all-out with aggressive throttle and explosive power. Luckily, Traction Control is easily toggled to an on or off position from the same switch, ensuring maximum traction and a distinct advantage in slippery conditions.
DROP THE CLUTCH
Launch control, ENGAGED! Designed for total domination, the KTM 450 SMR comes fitted standard with launch control and Quickshifter functionality. Launch control is easily engaged by pressing the traction control and Quickshifter buttons simultaneously and works by limiting the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction, and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration. Meanwhile, the Quickshifter function means you can bang through from 2nd to 5th gear with your focus solely on getting to the corner first.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE
The KTM 450 SMR features one of the most exhilarating 4-stroke engines in the paddock, with its SOHC powerplant exemplifying cutting-edge engineering. The silencer offers exceptional response in combination with the mapping switch and provides a slightly quieter exhaust note. For those looking for more, a quick visit to the KTM PowerParts catalog will take things to the next level.
LESS FOCUS ON THE TOOL, MORE FOCUS ON THE TRACK
The KTM 450 SMR is engineered and designed to provide riders with easy-to-access service parts, as well as suspension adjustability. This allows for faster track-side and off-season maintenance, as well as making supermoto more accessible for novice riders without pit crews. For 2026, a new threaded radiator closure allows for easier and faster opening with reduced force.
BREATHE EASY
Designed to provide maximum airflow, the new air filter box is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. The Twin Air filter and air filter support design feature a simple fail-proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation, ensuring the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel, for easy track-side maintenance.
