Rider fit: reaching the ground
The KTM 890 SMT has a 860 mm seat; the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 sits at 870 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 86 cm for the KTM 890 SMT and 87 cm for the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800.
That makes the KTM 890 SMT the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
