KTM to launch 2017 RC range tomorrow

KTM is going to launch the 2017 RC390 and the RC200 in India tomorrow. While the new RC200 features an updated paint schemes, the RC390 also gets a few technological upgrades. 

KTM has given the 2017 RC390 a new look, courtesy a black, white and orange livery. Under the skin, the RC390 is powered by the same 373cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, though it now gets ride-by-wire throttle. Braking hardware has been upgraded with the inclusion of a larger 320mm front disc brake, while the six-speed gearbox is now mated to a slipper clutch. The RC390 also gets a side-mounted exhaust in place of the underbelly unit to make it BS IV emission norms compliant. The KTM RC200 on the other hand gets a new orange and white livery to accentuate its sporty lines. 

We expect both the new RC390 and the RC200 to get a price hike. The 2017 RC range will be followed by the launch of the 2017 Duke range in the next couple of months.
