KTM RC 200 boasts biggest update since launch
The Hindu
KTN’s new RC 200 is just as fun as the bike it replaces ringing in additional features, comfort and usability
The KTM RC range has been long overdue for an update, considering the bikes have not changed since the first model came out roughly seven years ago. The first of the new-gen RCs to hit our market is the RC 200, and we got to spend some time with it at the Bajaj test track in Chakan. As before, most of the changes will feature on the entire RC range, including the new RC 390 that is due early next year, so here is what to expect.
The biggest change is what is staring right at you and that is the new, very polarising design philosophy. Compared to the old RC, the new bike gets a more upright-looking stance with a bigger front section and a taller, more rounded windscreen. KTM says this bike has better aerodynamics than before, and the actual wind protection we experienced was quite good.
The bike looks more cohesive as in person images suggest, and while the face does not look as sharp and aggressive as the old bike, it definitely stands out. If anything, this bike probably has even more presence than the old one.
