Sharing a new 350cc engine with the Duke and Adventure is technically really interesting. Sharing the platform while building it into a supermoto. Including the significance of dropping the old 'R' and changing the name, I can't wait to see how KTM optimizes this for the Indian market.

Since the launch timing is only projected for sometime in 2026, this sounds like it's still an outlook, not confirmed information.

If they use a shared engine, the price should come in somewhat contained too.

Moving to a shared engine platform makes sense as a cost-cutting strategy too.

Sharing a common 350cc engine might tie into a broader move that connects to the Duke 390 successor too.

Dropping the 'R' from the name—maybe this is a cheaper variant differentiated from the competition-oriented spec.

Supermoto finally arriving in India is a long-awaited category.

India's acceptance of a niche category like supermoto is still developing, so I'm curious how it'll be received.
