KTM 390 SMC R 2025 Experiences and Expert Review

Poky

The KTM 390 SMC R is neither a slimmed-down 690 nor a disguised Duke derivative, but an independent interpretation of the supermoto theme - accessible, suitable for everyday use and yet with enough sharpness for serious lean angles. It does not have a brute radicality, but a clever overall package that confidently covers urban riding, after-work laps and occasional track excursions. The engine is revvy, the suspension can be fine-tuned, the brakes work exceptionally well and the ergonomics allow you to ride a longer stage - without having to fish your knees out of the petrol cap one by one afterwards. With an entry-level price of €6,299 in Germany (plus ancillary costs) and €6,999 in Austria (incl. NoVA), it remains reasonably priced - especially considering the extensive features with TFT display, traction control, supermoto ABS and an optional quickshifter. In short: If you are looking for an A2-compatible bike with character that is not only easy to ride but also easy to understand, the 390 SMC R is a successful blend of rationality and lateral behaviour. And in the end, that is perhaps exactly what the supermoto market has been missing.
