Based on the new 450 SX-F, the 2025 KTM 450 SMR promises to push the supermoto concept to its limits, with the manufacturer focusing on technology and competitive experience with this model.

The SMR swapped off-road wheels and knobby tires for a set of 17-inch wheels and sporty tires, turning the off-roader into a machine capable of making any rider feel like they own the world.

As is the case with all machines from the Pierer group, the 2025 SMR’s frame is lighter where it matters and more reinforced where it’s needed most, offering extra flexibility and more control when taking aggressive corners.

In a test video, Supermoto World Champion Lukas Höllbacher demonstrates the full capabilities of the 450 SMR. You can also see the bike being tested in various weather conditions, from a hot summer’s day to a winter landscape in Sweden.

The paint scheme reflects KTM’s racing colors, with orange plastics and red and black graphics, finished with a black seat. The KTM 450 SMR will be available at authorized dealers of the Austrian factory starting in September.
