KTM's RC series is very popular in the Indian market. The RC series of KTM in India includes the RC 125, RC 200 and the RC 390. The KTM RC 200 and the RC 390 are considered as the benchmark in the entry-level supersport segment. Now, KTM is planning to give the RC series a comprehensive update. The upcoming new-gen 2021 KTM RC 390 has been recently spied on test in India for the first time ever and here are all the details about it.

Just like the current-gen RCs, the new-generation KTM RC models will also look identical to each other. However, we can easily identify that it is the new-gen RC 390 and not the RC 125 or RC 200 as the motorcycle has a side-mounted exhaust, unlike the underbelly one which we find on the smaller RCs. The new-gen RC 390 will get updated cosmetics, new features and it seems that it will be ergonomically a much more friendly motorcycle than before. The mechanicals of the motorcycle, however, will remain the same.

This means that the new-gen 2021 KTM RC 390 will still be powered by a BS6 compliant 373.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine. This motor currently churns out 43.5 PS of power at 9000 RPM and 36 Nm of torque at 7000 RPM. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The new-gen KTM RC 390 is expected to be launched in India by mid-2021. It will charge a slight premium over the current RC. What are your thoughts on the upcoming RC 390?
