Checkout our previous post regarding KTM RC200 and RC390

KTM has finally put up a break to the anticipations of the biking enthusiasts in India, by pulling the wraps off it’s two much-awaited faired supersport bikes, the RC200 and RC390. Based on their respective Duke siblings, the Duke 200 and the Duke 390, the RC200 and RC390 have been launched at impressive introductory price tags. The RC200 has been launched at Rs. 1.60 lakh and the RC390 at Rs. 2.05 lakh (prices ex-showroom Delhi). Both the bikes will now be available alongside the Duke 200 and Duke 390, taking the tally of KTM bikes available in India to four models.

Both the RC200 and RC390 bring along sharp design lines and aggressively styled body panels with them, which definitely mean the business of providing oodles of thrills to the rider, who wants to step up into the world of supersport motorcycling. As far as appearance goes, both the bikes are almost identical with the same silhoutte, but differentiated on the basis of color schemes. Both the bikes have the sole color option of matte black, but the RC200 comes with black side fairings and RC390 with the white ones. The bikes have steeply raked front fairing, sharply styled fuel tank, almost non-existent side panels exposing the orange trellis frame and high raised tail end section incorporating an in-built pillion seat, giving it a mean aerodynamic stance like no other Indian bike.

Other delicious components which grace up the equipment list of both the RC200 and RC390 are dual projector headlamps at front, clear lens turn indicators mounted on the rear view mirror at front, aluminium swingarm, clip-on adjustable handlebars, under belly exhausts, backlit switchgear, orange-painted alloy wheels, fully digital instrument console with plethora of information on board, LED tail lamps and forged disc brakes at both the ends. 

The RC390 also gets ABS as standard, which the RC200 doesn’t.
