2025 KTM 390 SMC R : KTM just disclosed the details for the 390 SMC R supermoto, which was shown at EICMA 2024. According to reports, KTM plans to debut the motorcycle in India in the second half of 2025, following the launch of the new-generation 390 ADV and 390 Enduro R. As a supermoto, it will be a niche product, similar to the present 390 Duke. We expect the motorcycle to cost more than the 390 Duke, which is presently priced at Rs. 3.14 lakh (ex-showroom).
2025 KTM 390 SMC R features
To begin, the 390 SMC R features a traditional supermoto design, including a tall stance, a tall front mudguard, and dirt-bike appearance. The motorcycle’s overall appearance is slim, and it has a small 9-litre gasoline tank, which is 6 litres smaller than the 390 Duke. The motorcycle weights 154 kg, which is 11 kg lighter than the 390 Duke. While the weight is reasonable, Indian riders may find the 860 mm seat height worrisome, as it is one of the tallest seats on Indian motorcycles under 500 cc.
The motorbike employs the same 399 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the 390 Duke, producing 46 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 39 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine will be combined with a 6-speed gearbox and a fast shifter. The motorbike features a two-piece steel trellis frame and a bolt-on subframe, but there are a few differences. The steering head angle, triple clamps, and sub-frame mounts differ from those on the 390 Duke, and the frame also caters for the changing radiator package. There is also a new aluminium swingarm.
