KTM bikes have always been the talk of the crowd in terms of offering some over the top power packed performance and stunning features. The Australian manufacturer has recently launched the 2017 editions for its sport bike range in India. Though, the rather pleasant surprise was the launch of its new KTM Duke 250. And now, it seems like KTM RC 250 is also coming to India soon!
Some of you have been eagerly waiting for RC 250 and the good news is, KTM have heard your prayers. The new hero on the block, RC 250 have been spotted testing in a production ready state. There was no camouflage hiding the bike identity and it was spotted testing on the old Pune-Mumbai highway.
According to the reports, the new KTM RC 250 will miss out on ABS and ride-by-wire just like Duke 250. Going by the spy shots, the new RC 250 motorcycle is expected to share majority of the parts with its elder sibling RC 390.
It will be powered by the same 248.8cc, single-cylinder engine that churns out 30.87 bhp of max power and peak torque of 24 Nm. 2018 RC 250 comes with a new colour specification which is the only difference setting it apart from its siblings.
There has been no official news of the launch of KTM RC 250 in India yet. If launched, it is expected to be ranged near INR 2.10 lakhs rivaling against the upcoming TVS Akula (Apache RR 310S) in the market.
