The 2017 KTM
RC200 and KTM RC390 will launch soon in India. Both bikes gain a new paint scheme while the latter
gains ride by wire and a new canister exhaust, reveals a brochure leak posted
by Motoroids.
The KTM RC390 uses the same 373.3 cc single cylinder
liquid cooled, fuel injected mill. Coupled to a 6 speed gearbox the engine is
capable of producing 43.5 PS of maximum power at 9,000 rpm and 36 Nm of peak
torque at 7,000 rpm.
The 2017 KTM RC390 gains a new exhaust system with a
stainless steel underfloor pre-silencer and a rear aluminium absorption
silencer containing the catalytic converter. The bike also gains a bigger 320
mm front disc and tips the scales at 170 kg. Switchable ABS
remains as standard.
The KTM RC200, on the other hand, continues with an
underbelly exhaust unit. The 199.5 cc mill is capable of producing 25 PS of
maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 19.2 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. The
pillion seat gets 12 mm of extra padding. The 2017 KTM RC200 also gains a new
white and orange paint scheme. ABS continues to be absent even as an option.
