The flagship fully-faired RC 390 gets a cosmetic update as it moves to BS-VI compliance. The motorcycle now
comes in a black and white colour option which screams sophistication. However,
the BS-VI KTM RC 390 black wheels instead of orange wheels. Key features
include projector headlamps, slipper clutch and ride by wire which it gained in
2017.
KTM’s RC 390 now tips the scales at 166.8
kg (wet, without fuel). However, the fuel tank is the same 9.5-litre unit.
Sadly, though, the BS-VI compliant KTM RC 390 misses out on a bi-directional
quick shifter which is present in its naked sibling. Well, a supersports-styled
motorcycle not getting a quick-shifter and a street naked getting the same
certainly raises some questions.
The 2020 KTM RC 390's prices start at INR
2,48,075, up by INR 4,061. In comparison, the outgoing BS-IV compliant variant
of the motorcycle was priced at INR 2,44,014 (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
