KTM Indonesia has showcased the new RC 250 SE
(Special Edition) version in the country at the 2018 Jakarta Fair. Branded as
the KTM RC 250 SE, the special edition motorcycle is identical to the standard
model in most aspects, except the fact that it gets a side-mounted exhaust
instead of an underbelly unit. KTM says the new muffler makes for a racier
exhaust note that works well for the bike's appeal.
The KTM RC 250 SE gets a side-mounted exhaust
similar to the 2017 KTM RC 390 that was introduced last year. The new
side-slung exhaust introduced to meet the new and stringent emissions norms in
Europe and India, with the addition of a bigger catalytic converter. On the RC
250 SE, the side slung exhaust is said to increase power by 1 bhp over the
underbelly version. Both motorcycles will be sold together in Indonesia.
Apart from the side-mounted exhaust, the KTM RC 250
SE gets slightly revised graphics. There are no design changes to the
supersport motorcycle. The RC 250 SE is priced at IDR 50.9 million, which makes it only slightly more expensive than
the standard version in the South East Asian country. Previously, KTM Indonesia
introduced the 200 Duke with a side mounted exhaust, and the RC 250 SE was an
equally awaited model for customers.
