From off-road to asphalt: The complete supermoto conversion
Want to transform your enduro into a full-fledged supermoto? This guide shows you step by step which parts you need and what really matters. From suspension and brakes to road legality – we cover everything.
1. Wheels & Tires – The Heart of the Conversion
What you need:
- 17" Supermoto rims (front and rear) instead of the Enduro 21"/18" combination
- Supermoto tires (120/70-17 front, 160/60-17 rear)
- Brake disc adapter (if necessary, depending on the rim manufacturer)
- Spacers and distance rings for correct chain alignment
Pro tip: Make sure you use high-quality rims with the correct offsets. Cheap rims can lead to handling problems.
2. Brake upgrade – More power for the road
Enduro brakes are designed for off-road use. For supermoto, you need significantly more braking power.
Our recommendation: Tokico Lefthand Brake Bundle
The Tokico Lefthand Brake Bundle from our shop is the perfect solution for stunt riders and anyone who wants maximum control. The set includes:
- 15mm brake pump for optimal pressure point
- Steel Flex brake lines (1.9mm) for direct response
- Tokico brake caliper with adapter
Upgrade option: Our Lefthandbrake PRO with Accossato/OVI Racing components offers even more performance for KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas and Husaberg.
Optimize the front brake:
- Larger brake disc (320mm instead of standard 260mm)
- Radial brake pump for better feedback
- Steel braided hoses (also available individually from us)
3. Lighting & Road Approval – Legal on the Road
No road approval without approved lighting. This is where it gets interesting:
Headlights: Style meets function
We have several options for you:
Loccis Eye Series – The eye-catcher
The Loccis Eye 3.0 and 4.0 Angel Eye LED headlights with RGB technology are not only street legal, but also a real statement piece. Available for KTM, Husqvarna and Beta – with app control for individual color changes.
X-Beam Series – pure performance
The X-Beam LED headlights are specifically designed for KTM models (also available for 2024+ versions) and offer maximum light output in a compact design. Street legal and ready to ride.
HexBeam Series – RGB with Bluetooth
Hexagonal design meets cutting-edge technology: HexBeam RGB headlights with Bluetooth app control for KTM, Husqvarna, and Beta. Perfect for those who love individuality.
RaptorEye Series – Husqvarna Specialist
Specifically for Husqvarna models: The RaptorEye LED headlights offer street-legal performance in a clean design.
Turn signals & license plate holder
Universal Supermoto indicators from our shop are E-marked and street legal – compact, bright and stylish.
You'll need a license plate holder for this. Our FastPlate series offers detachable solutions with integrated LED lights for KTM SMCR, KTM EXC and Husqvarna 701.
Electrical setup
Many enduro motorcycles don't have a battery. Here's how to help:
- AC/DC Converter – Converts alternating current to direct current for battery-powered components
- Direct Battery Wiring – an alternative to a converter when retrofitting a battery
4. Chassis & Geometry – Setup for Asphalt
Fork:
- Stiffer springs (approx. 0.48-0.52 N/mm depending on rider weight)
- Adapted damping (more compression, less rebound than off-road)
- Fork protectors – Our WP Style Fork Protector Kit protects your USD fork from stone chips and looks great.
Shock absorber:
- Stiffer spring (approx. 85-95 N/mm)
- Lowering (optional, 10-20mm for better road handling)
- Swingarm protection – Our Supermoto Swing Arm Covers for KTM protect the swingarm and give a clean look.
5. Small parts & accessories – The details count
Must-haves:
- Passenger Footrests – CNC-milled aluminum passenger footrests from our shop for togetherness on the road
- Motorcycle Emergency Tool Kit – Compact repair kit for on the go (available in our shop!)
- Seatglow RGB – Optional, but awesome: RGB seat lighting with Bluetooth, synchronized with your headlights.
Nice-to-have:
- Shorter gearshift lever for better ergonomics when wearing street boots
- Wider handlebars (780-800mm) for more control
- Hand protectors (if you want to keep them)
