Sliding at the apex to join the KTM SuperMotard army in the middle-weight battalion, the KTM 390 SMC R brings unlimited fun to the masses. Just like its KTM 690 SMC R brethren, it is engineered to dominate the asphalt - as well as the odd dirt track - with ease.
Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 390 SMC-R reigns supreme as a track-bred yet street-legal supermoto, delivering electrifying performance, razor-sharp handling, and KTM’s bold design in a lightweight, agile package.
Driven by a potent 373 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, the 390 SMC-R generates approximately 44 PS and 37 Nm of torque. A ride-by-wire system and crisp six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch ensure responsive throttle control and seamless shifts, whether slicing through corners or unleashing bursts of speed.
A precision-engineered chromoly trellis frame and flat-track inspired geometry deliver razor-sharp agility. Colorado-built WP suspension sets the tone: fully adjustable 43 mm XPLOR inverted forks offering 150 mm of travel at the front, and an XPLOR monoshock with linkage at the rear—both tuned for aggressive cornering and track stability.
Stopping performance is excellent, thanks to a beefy 320 mm front disc with a four-piston radial caliper and a 240 mm rear disc with a two-piston caliper. Cornering ABS offers adjustable traction and braking control, including a Supermoto mode that disables rear ABS for sliding fun.
With a dry weight of just 152 kg and a seat height of around 896 mm, the 390 SMC-R is purpose-built for riders who crave precision, lightness, and high-revving fun. Its geometry encourages quick turn-ins and playful handling characteristics.
Bold supermoto styling is evident at first glance, with aggressive bodywork, full LED lighting, and KTM’s signature colors. A sleek, race-inspired tail section accents the minimalist aesthetic and reinforces its no-compromise performance nature. Tech-savvy riders will appreciate the compact LCD display providing gear, trip, and essential ride information.
The KTM 390 SMC-R is the ultimate weapon for urban acrobatics or track-session demolition—combining crisp power delivery, championship-caliber suspension, and lightweight aggression.
