Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike rewards experienced riders who can manage a light, powerful, and twitchy chassis with immediate throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for supermoto thrills, aggressive cornering, and tight, technical roads rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and minimal wind protection demand a fit, confident rider comfortable with an upright, aggressive stance.
CharacterA raw, high-strung streetfighter-supermoto hybrid that thrives on flickable handling and razor-sharp brakes.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking touring comfort, passenger accommodation, or a relaxed, forgiving ride.

2011 KTM 990 Supermoto 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 2011 KTM 990 Supermoto 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.
