The liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal performance, ensuring that the engine remains cool under pressure. The KTM 950 Supermoto is built to handle with finesse, thanks to its tubular chromoly space frame and advanced WP suspension system. The front features a 115 mm travel WP USD fork, while the rear boasts a 185 mm travel WP monoshock, providing exceptional handling and comfort on various terrains. The motorcycle’s braking system comprises double discs up front and a single disc at the rear, offering powerful stopping power when it counts.
