La 950 Super Enduro R est un modèle de motocyclette du constructeur KTM, présentée au salon de Munich en 2005. C'est une version dépouillée de l'Adventure, dédiée à la balade dans les grands espaces.
, The KTM 950 Super Enduro R (known as the 9 … The KTM 950 Super Enduro R (known as the 950SE or the SE) is a dual-sport motorcycle produced from 2006 to 2008. It is equipped with a 98-horsepower, four-stroke, V-twin engine, adjustable heavy-duty offroad suspension, and enduro styling. Due to its light weight and offroad-capable profile, the 950SE was perceived at its launch as a radical departure from any existing dual-sport, enduro, or street bike models, while having characteristics of all three. Marketed by KTM, its Austrian manufacturer, as a race-ready enduro machine, the 950SE embodies minimalist design principles. Equipped with twin carburetors instead of electronic fuel injection, it also lacks ABS, traction control, a fuel gauge, or a tachometer. Its dual silencers are upswept, with the front cylinder’s exhaust header routed beside the engine, in the manner of smaller enduro and dirt bikes. The one-piece plastic fuel tank is of relatively low capacity, and the seat is comparably tall at 920mm (36.22 inches). With its six-speed transmission and stock wheels, the 950SE is capable of speeds in excess of 190km/h (118mph). The 950SE is claimed to be one of the most-powerful and “intense” enduro motorcycles. Yet, in spite of its power, loud and deep exhaust note, and fierce acceleration capabilities, the 950SE is lauded for its all-round performance and rider comfort, whether on- or off-pavement. In his review of the 2008 model, motorcycle journalist Neil Johnson of OneWheelDrive, said, “the KTM 950 Super Enduro R is pure delightful lunacy.” The article’s headline was sub-titled “The cure for common sense.”[1] Approximately 3,000 units were produced and sold internationally for model years 2006-2008. KTM discontinued the model in 2009. Since before its discontinuation, the 950SE is coveted, achieving “legend” status among owners and enthusiasts, including offroad and rally-racing champions such as New Zealander Chris Birch:"In my mind, the 950 Super Enduro is the best hooligan's bike KTM ever made." The 950SE’s 942cc engine, known as the LC-8, was designed by KTM engineers to power the company’s 950 Factory Rally racer to compete in the 2002 Dakar Rally. In contrast to KTM’s first LC-8-equipped consumer model, the 950 Adventure, modeled on the Dakar bike, the 950SE had higher ground clearance, a different steering head angle and rake, with a more-aggressive adjustable WP suspension, as well as the distinctive look and ride of an "oversized" enduro bike. At the time of the 950SE’s launch, the dual-sport market was dominated by slower heavier “compromise” bikes. But the KTM appealed to aficionados as a “no-compromise” motorcycle. On rider forums, owners frequently praise the SE as a “high-adrenaline” machine, and it can be ridden out of the city, onto the highway, and into challenging terrain such as water crossings, boulder fields, steep hill-climbs, single-track trails, rutted tracks, mudholes and deep sand, then rode home again at highway speed, remaining equally at-ease and comfortable to ride through such widely-varying conditions. The 950 SE was the third consumer model to use the LC-8 engine after the KTM 950 Adventure and 950 Super Moto. It shares several components of the latter, but the SE was significantly-modified to suit its intended purpose.tly-modified to suit its intended purpose.
