Positioned in Ktm's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Ktm 450 SMR relies on a 449.3 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 63.4 mm (3.7 x 2.5 inches).
On the scales, the 450 SMR measures 105.5 kg (233 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 898 mm (35.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,482 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.68 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 196 km (122 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Ktm archive, this model family spans 16 indexed model years from 2004 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
