990 SUPERMOTO R: THE FIGHTING MACHINE

A state-of-the-art V2 engine with electronic injection and impressive punch, a perfectly balanced chassis, a whole bunch of high-quality components - the 990 SM R is the most radical twin-cylinder Supermoto on the market - and, in its latest form, it is still just as dynamic, but much more economical and safer too, thanks to superb Bosch 9M+‑ABS. All the more astounding that it is just as much fun in the urban jungle as it is ticking off passes and out on the racetrack. One of the most dynamic, yet at the same time versatile machines, not only in the Supermoto segment
ERGONOMICS

The 990 SM R's fuel tank in conjunction with the elongated seat provide the rider with excellent contact points and maximum freedom of movement for hitting the gas with commitment. The double-butted, ideally angled aluminium handlebars aid perfect vehicle control.

ABS

The switchable dual-circuit ABS system developed in cooperation with Bosch offers total protection against over-braking, while maintaining the full effect and perfect feedback of a genuine sports brake thanks to very fine sensors. Weighing no more than one kilogramme, the ABS system therefore allows extremely sporty braking. And prevents nose-overs actively and effectively.
RADIAL BRAKE

More than adequate deceleration is ensured on the 990 SM R by Brembo® brakes with the very finest components. At the front wheel, two radially-mounted monoblock four-piston brake calipers bite hard into floating 305 mm discs at the command of the radial master cylinder. So that braking works perfectly even in difficult conditions, a Bosch 9M+‑ABS intervenes in borderline cases to prevent the front wheel from blocking or a nose-over. But don’t worry, the ABS only makes itself felt when things are really getting too hot to handle. Until then, you can apply the deceleration with customary, racing precision.
FRAME AND SWINGARM

The 990 SM R's tubular space frame made from thin-walled chrome-molybdenum steel tubing with a bolted-on, light alloy subframe only weighs 9.5 kg, yet it impresses with exemplary torsional stiffness. The 575 mm long swingarm with conical profiles contributes plenty of mechanical grip.
