Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a supermoto built for experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, high-powered bike that reacts instantly to inputs.
PurposeIt excels at tight, twisty roads and flick-able cornering attacks, blending dirt-bike agility with serious street power.
Rider FitThe tall 875mm seat height and aggressive, upright stance demand decent leg length and an active riding style rather than a relaxed posture.
CharacterSharp, punchy, and hooligan-ish, this bike rewards aggressive throttle and brake inputs with immediate, playful feedback.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance comfort, wind protection, or a plush, forgiving ride.

2013 KTM 990 SM R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2013 KTM 990 SM R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
