Now coming with an anti-lock braking system developed together with Bosch and weighing in at only one kilogram, the 2011 KTM 990 SMT makes for perfect deceleration under any conditions.
The ABS system is matched to a high-performance Brembo braking system with radial four pot callipers on 305mm discs, tailored to deliver both control and stopping power. It may also be switched off at any time for off-road outings.
“The result is a sensitive ABS braking system that lets the 990 SMT stop safely and with pinpoint accuracy on any surface and from any speed,” as KTM says. “Equipped with rollover detection, the functions of the KTM-Bosch system have been purposely designed not to interfere with an aggressive riding style. Deploying only in truly extreme situations, it will keep out of your way as long as the surface is dry and provides sufficient grip.”
The bike comes available in high gloss orange, white, or black. KTM also offers a wide variety of bespoke parts and equipment from its range of Power Parts accessories, be it in order to enhance the sporty credentials even further or to add even more touring capabilities.
“The KTM 990 SMT remains the first choice for the most extensive riding enjoyment on any road, at any speed, and – as of 2011 – in any weather,” the manufacturer brags.
