Frame

The design features a 2-piece construction composed of a steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. Not only designed for overall looks, the primary objective of the frame design is to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis on both tarmac and dirt tracks.

Swingarm

A gravity die-cast swingarm has been specifically developed for the KTM 390 SMC R, and provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system. Featuring a direct shock absorber mount offset to the side, it creates additional space for the unique exhaust system.

Suspension

Upfront, a 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge fork with 230 mm travel keeps things in check, with adjustable compression and rebound in 30 easy clicks to easy adjustment. On the rear, any big hits are handled by a WP APEX Separate piston shock absorber with 230 mm of travel. The shock is also rebound adjustable with 20 clicks on the fly, while preload adjustment can be taken care of with a tool.
