In the coming weeks, KTM is set to unveil several new models, with one of the most anticipated being the 390 SMC R, a supermoto recently spotted during testing, giving a glimpse of what to expect.
The frame and subframe appear to be the same as the 390 Adventure, as well as the fuel tank, front fender, and rear section. However, the geometry has notable differences to suit the supermoto style.
The front suspension has been upgraded, and the bike features 17-inch alloy wheels with distinct tyres. The handlebars and footpegs are positioned to match the typical supermoto setup.
The bike will likely feature the LC4c single-cylinder engine with 399cc, delivering 45.3 hp (suiting to A2 riding license) and 39 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox.
While the images don’t reveal the electronics, it’s expected that the 390 SMC R will include a suite of aids such as ABS, traction control, and possibly different riding modes.
The launch is expected to take place at EICMA, the motorcycle show in Milan, from November 5th to 10th, where KTM will have a significant presence.
