KTM 390 SMC R Snapped Testing In India; Here's What To Expect

KTM is in full swing with its range of new motorcycles in India. KTM has slated the 390 Enduro R for its official launch on April 11. Also, a new machine has been spotted testing in India, the KTM 390 SMC R. Drawing inspiration from the 390 Enduro R, the 390 SMC R is anticipated to be released sooner than originally planned. Here are the details that you must check out about the KTM 390 SMC R.

KTM 390 SMC R: Engine, Powertrain

The KTM 390 SMC R retains the same engine as the 390 Adventure and the 390 Enduro R. It is powered by the 399cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder unit that is capable of churning out a peak power and torque output of 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm, respectively.

KTM 390 SMC R: Hardware

The test mule of the KTM 390 SMC R, snapped testing in India suggests that it has a lot of design elements from the Enduro R. However, it gets a 17-inch wheel as seen on the other supermotos in the market. It has wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres. Also, the KTM 390 SMC R stands on a 230mm suspension, which the Enduro R misses out on. The suspension duty is performed by the WP Apex USD telescopic forks at the front along with a fully adjustable rear WP Apex mono-shock setup at the rear.
