Maisto’s 2025 catalogue is out for some time now and their 1:12 scale 2023 KTM 690 SMC R is creating vibes in diecast scale model collectors world. This 1:12 scale KTM 690 SMC R is a looker and 10 time better than the older 690 released zillion years ago. Though a 2025 release this beautiful KTM has already reached hobby stores and toy stores all over the world. Here is our full coverage this beautiful 2023 KTM 690 SMC R.
This being a dual sport bike, it has a high stance, wide handlebars, kuckle guards and a tiny functional headlamp all of these makes it a ultimate bike for on or off-road. For now there is no confirmation on other colors as the orange is already in market and selling like hot cakes!
This 2023 KTM 690 SMC R is a tall bike and there aren’t not much bodywork to talk about but the trellis frame finished in orange takes care of it. The exhaust system is exposed and the details are just perfect, which Maisto and KTM does quite well. Though the design is all new but it carries the original silhouette, which I like.
The market is already flooded with this KTM 690 SMC R and I saw like 4- 5 in our local Hamleys and online e-commerce portals like Amazon have a good stock (some even on sale) the price is like $15.5! I some of our sources says these are here as early as December 2025 so I wanted pick one and check the price and production date to be sure. I may pick one soon from a local toy store and do a full review, so hold on for that. Till next time… Ciao
