Kramer’s entry-level race bike will run you $15,995 to bring to your next track day.
Are you looking to welcome a Kramer Motorcycle into your track-day life? If so, you may want to learn about the 2023 Kramer HKR Evo2 S, which Kramer Motorcycles USA just announced details about ahead of the new year. It’s currently the least expensive model in the Kramer lineup, but it’s still packs a solid performance punch to make your next track day memorable. Let’s take a look.
The 2023 HKR Evo2 S is powered by a KTM LC4 690 engine, which makes a claimed 80 horsepower at the crank. Components include “a high-flow cylinder head, ultralight piston, and high-strength connecting rod, which is fed through a high-flow intake system designed and built by Kramer Motorcycles,” says the company.
The end result is that the HKR Evo2 S’s power band is a full 1,000 rpm wider than that of a stock LC4 engine, with more uniform power delivery in the mid and high rev ranges. Plus, since the LC4 engines sourced from KTM are the latest generation, Kramer’s HKR Evo2 S gets the crucial benefit of that balancer shaft to reduce single-cylinder vibrations for the rider.
The Frame and Body
The 2023 Kramer HKR Evo2 S gets a chromium-molybdenum steel frame with a trellis design, crafted to be lightweight, strong, and durable. Both stiffness and flexibility where you want them were taken into consideration when designing this frame. The XPE plastic tail section also functions as the HKR Evo2 S fuel tank, and holds 3.17 gallons of fuel. Bodywork is fiberglass, with all high-stress/mounting points reinforced with carbon/Kevlar.
