The prototype of the 2021 KTM RC 390 was
spied last month sans any camouflage, thus, giving out key details of the
upcoming fully-faired motorcycle. Now, the new RC 390 has been found listed in
KTM’s future product portfolio.
It can be seen in the leaked image of
KTM’s future product portfolio that the 2021 RC 390 has been listed in the
supersport category. The picture shows the side profile of the bike, however,
no technical details have been mentioned. Since we are already familiar with
the aesthetic changes of the 2021 KTM RC 390, we do not see anything new here
except for the orange and blue livery which is said to be based on that of the
KTM MotoGP bike.
The 2021 KTM RC 390 is expected to be
unveiled by the end of this year and should start reaching showrooms in early
2021 with India being among the first markets to receive the new motorcycle.
KTM has given the 2021 RC 390 a complete makeover. There is a fresh front
fairing along with a totally new headlight setup that has an interesting
styling, something that we have not seen before in this segment. The headlight
portion of the 2021 RC 390 reminds us of the company’s naked motorcycles such
as the KTM 390 Adventure and 790 Adventure. KTM has also included LED DRLs and
LED blinkers which are an integral part of the front fairing.
KTM has also revised the riding ergonomics
of the 2021 RC 390. They are much more relaxed and thus, should be beneficial
for commuting in heavy city traffic as well as long-distance touring. The 2021 KTM
RC 390 also gets a new rear end thanks to the horizontal LED taillight.
Overall, the new RC 390 looks okay-ish and has a less aggressive design when
compared to that of the current model.
