New KTM RC 390 India Launch: Here’s What We Know So Far

New KTM RC 390 India Launch [Here’s What We Know So Far]: The next-gen KTM RC 390 has been spotted testing multiple times around the globe. As per the latest details available, KTM is all set to launch the new model of RC 390 in India very soon. Some of the KTM dealers have also started accepting pre-orders for the new RC 390 for a token amount ranging between INR 1,000 to INR 10,000.

The next-gen model features an all-new front fascia, side fairing and most importantly, the frame under its body. The sportbike now features the same mainframe as the KTM 390 Duke, covered partially under the new fairing and finished in a dark grey shade. The subframe of the 2021 model of the RC 390 seems to be slightly different in comparison to the 390 Duke.

The tyres, suspension, and exhaust look more or less similar to the current-gen model of the RC 390, further getting all-black alloy wheels. The fuel tank here feels exposed, all due to the removal of a connecting part between the tank and fairing in favour of the straight flowing panels that directly connect with the face. The front end of the next-gen KTM RC 390 features a completely transparent bubble visor, showing the illuminated headlight under the same frame and a wider-than-ever presence with extended fins on both sides. The brand is also expected to equip the upcoming model with a bigger fuel tank.

As expected, KTM will replace the ageing instrument console of the RC 390 with the modern TFT unit from the 390 Duke. There are thin chances of modification to that console as it is already feature-loaded and comes with smartphone connectivity, automatic brightness adjustment, and it displays a lot of useful information.
