The 2021 KTM RC 200 has been under development for quite some time now. A few months ago, the updated version of the 200cc motorcycle was spotted abroad undergoing road testing. Now, it has been spied once again, however, this time at a factory. This could mean that the 2021 KTM RC 200 could be launched soon.
The new 2021 KTM RC 200 spy shot reveals
the motorcycle in its production-ready avatar. It is sitting at an assembly
line with no camouflage whatsoever. KTM has really given the bike a major
overhaul, at least, in terms of styling. The new RC 200 features a single-piece
headlamp which appears to have been borrowed from the KTM 200 Duke. The
motorcycle also has a newly designed fairing which houses the LED DRLs and LED
turn signals. KTM has also used a set of new graphics.
Based on the earlier 2021 KTM RC 200 spy
shot, the new fully-faired machine would also get a larger front disc brake.
Its rider ergonomics would have been revised for a relatively relaxed riding
position. As far as the rear end is concerned, it is likely to have the same
horizontal LED tail light from the current model. KTM is expected to make no
changes in the engine.
If you look closely at the new 2021 KTM RC
200 spy shot, you can spot a Husqvarna motorcycle in the background. This
suggests that the picture could have been taken at Bajaj Auto’s production
facility in Chakan. That’s because Bajaj Auto manufactures KTM and Husqvarna
motorcycles with a max displacement of 373cc for both the domestic as well as
international markets.
