The KTM 450 SMR supermoto returns for 2027 unchanged, but it is updated “with a sharp new look.”

Here’s the official press release from KTM…

The 2027 KTM 450 SMR retains all the class-leading characteristics, but with a sharp new look.

The technically advanced, but temptingly raw, KTM 450 SMR is still the reference for competition-orientated Supermoto. Performance, pace, purpose: the 2027 version retains all the class-leading characteristics, but with a sharp new look.

Power and agility combine to ruthless effect with the 2027 KTM 450 SMR. The SOHC 450cc engine is a hyper-responsive, compact, light and fiery heart of the bike that growls for the stopwatch, and is augmented by multiple maps, traction and launch control and a Suter slipper clutch. Grip is gold. The horsepower package (adhering to the latest FIM and AMA noise limits) is held by reinforced mounts and is molded by the minimalistic, but dependable, chassis that keeps the whole bike planted and ensures line choice is a breeze. Rear-end slides become second nature.

Race-design thinking is displayed throughout the KTM 450 SMR, from the ergonomics sculpted with an acute rider positioning to the emphasis on serviceability—like the accessible airbox, threaded radiator closure, and the centralization of electronics under the seat. WP Xact suspension (48mm closed-cartridge forks) and streamlined rear shock are premium additions delivering full adjustability, meaning the KTM 450 SMR can easily adapt to a smooth strip of asphalt or rough dirt and Supermoto jumps. Brembo brakes guarantee sharp stopping prowess around the circuit.

The KTM 450 SMR is both a thrilling track machine and a proven race winner, having captured the 2025 FIM Supermoto World Championship title in the S1GP class with Lukas Höllbacher. The technical specifications will ask questions of the rider and dare the racer to grab those extra tenths of second or dive for that extra position. With the predominant orange livery, hardened with black handguards, wheels, silencer, and seat, the visual effect is one of winning menace. As always, the KTM PowerParts catalog has a wide range of accessories and options for more personalization or more competitiveness at the highest levels of the sport.

Tap into potential and destroy the results sheets with the 2027 KTM 450 SMR, available from September onward at authorized KTM dealers, starting at $12,499.
