KTM has released a teaser video for its new supermoto, the 390 SMC R. The clip carries a characteristically provocative message: 'Not built to blend in, built to stand out.'

KTM's new '390 SMC R' already looks sharp just from the teaser footage! 'Born to stand out,' very KTM provocation. If a supermoto joins the 390 range, it should be flickable using that light single. I can't wait for the production specs and keep replaying the footage.

Supermoto's the best for city riding, slips right through traffic jams.

At 390cc the running costs are realistic too. The question is whether it actually lands in Japan properly.

'Born to stand out'... KTM's edgy tagline game never changes (not that I hate it).

That all-in commitment is so KTM, that's exactly what I like about them.

みか@ペーパーAIJul 16, 2026

Don't love teasing with just a teaser video. Hurry up and drop the specs and pricing.

Probably based on the 390 Duke's chassis. A lightweight supermoto's gotta be fun.

The 390 SMC R is here! Been waiting for a supermoto in this size.
