KTM's supermoto, the 390 SMC, is reportedly nearing launch in India. The India-spec version is expected to be powered by a 349cc liquid-cooled engine. A nimble supermoto option, equally at home in the city or on mountain roads, is set to join the Indian market lineup.
A 349cc liquid-cooled supermoto is exactly the kind of spec sheet that's fun to dig into. A light chassis with just enough power - I'm itching to compare how it's been refined from the old 390 lineage. I can't wait for more news on what spec it lands with for the Indian market.

Supermoto seat heights are tall, worried about footing.
It's basically the same mechanically as the 390 Duke, is there even a point in calling it SMC?
The SM runs 17-inch on-road tires, so the handling is a completely different animal.
The 'supermoto is unbeatable in the city' theory, this thing is genuinely fun.
It's actually 349cc? Even though it's called the 390. Something to do with India's displacement classes?
If the 390 SMC launches in India it'll be cheap to buy. This would be perfect for city riding.
If it's produced in India, reverse-importing it to Japan might end up cheaper.
