According to recent media reports, KTM is expected to introduce the India-spec RC 390 with adjustable front and rear suspension. Having this feature as standard, it would be the only bike in its segment in the country.

The 2022 RC 390 has a restyled trellis frame, new wheels with upgraded brakes, and a larger fuel tank. The engine remains the same, though. The Austrian bikemaker is also anticipated to launch the RC 390 along with the 390 Adventure. However, the ADV doesn’t seem to support the adjustable suspension.

The 2022 KTM RC 390 has gone through a complete overhaul and gets a redesigned front fascia. The revamped model features a single pod headlight in the front, as opposed to the projector-style units on the old model. Speaking of more design updates, the new model has fairing-mounted rearview mirrors, an updated turn signal configuration, a more aerodynamic fairing design, a revised tail section, and a 13.7-litre fuel tank.

Aside from the above-mentioned changes, another interesting update is the exhaust system, which now gets a new stainless steel header pipe and an aluminium muffler, which results in reducing weight and making a more reminiscent soundtrack.

When it comes to the powertrain, the forthcoming KTM RC 390 is likely to be powered by the 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which is capable of generating 43.5PS and 37Nm, which is 1Nm more than the current model.

In terms of pricing, the 2022 KTM RC 390 is expected to launch in the Indian markets with an ex-showroom price tag of around Rs 2.90 lakhs. Once launched, it would be competing with the likes of the new TVS Apache RR 310.

I am 6 feet tall, which one should I buy – Harley-Davidson Street 750 or KTM RC 390?
2022-12-29 06:06:39 AM
Both the bikes are excellent performers and define an affordable way of maintaining performance as well as the brand name. KTM RC390 is the most value for money performance bike of India as no other machine at just INR 2,14,000 would bring a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 5.7 seconds. It comes with a single cylinder 373.2 cc engine while on the other hand, no other Harley Davidson or similar capacity bike can be bought for INR 4,69,000. The 750 cc, twin cylinder motor produces 59 Nm of torque and sprints from 0-100 kmph in just 6.15 seconds. The 229 kg cruiser versus the 166 kg supersport machine is a tough decision but the only factor that can help you in choosing one is your budget and preferred riding style. I would suggest you to keep your Classic Chrome with you and then buy the RC390 as it would bring both the cruiser and supersport team to your garage.
