Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, sharp-handling V-twin that rewards confident throttle control.
PurposeBuilt as a supermoto-tourer hybrid, it excels at aggressive backroad carving and twisty mountain routes while still offering enough range and comfort for longer rides.
Rider FitThe tall 855mm seat height and firm, sporty ergonomics favor taller or more physically confident riders over shorter or less experienced ones.
CharacterIt has a punchy, torquey V-twin personality with supermoto-style agility, feeling more like an overgrown street hooligan bike than a relaxed cruiser.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for beginners, riders seeking plush all-day touring comfort, or anyone wanting genuine off-road capability.

2013 KTM 990 SM T Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 855mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2013 KTM 990 SM T, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
