KTM is all set to make its small-size motorcycle line-up more interesting by introducing the new 390 SMC R production model. This will join the next-generation 390 Adventure R, 390 Adventure X, and 390 Enduro R with all these bikes sharing the same core platform but with some differences in their cycle parts and styling.

The 390 SMC R has been spied testing on multiple occasions, and some details about the bike have also been leaked. It will boast the same bodywork as the 390 Enduro R with minimalistic body panels, a front beak, flat motocross-style seat, and a long tail. However, typical of this genre, it will ride on a pair of 17-inch alloy wheels, certainly with road-biased tyres. The leaked brochure also mentions that it will have shorter suspension travel than its other 390 siblings.

While the rest of the details about the 390 SMC R are under wraps, we expect it to be powered by the same engine as the latest 390 Duke. This 398.63cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled mill produces 45.3bhp and 39Nm. Now, whether KTM changes the tuning of this motor to suit the purpose of the 390 SMC R remains to be seen.
