Excellent bike
The KTM RC 390 is a standout in the entry-level sportbike segment, offering a perfect blend of performance, style, and technology. Powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine, it delivers an exhilarating 43.5 horsepower, making it ideal for both city rides and spirited highway runs. The bike’s lightweight trellis frame ensures sharp handling, while its WP Apex suspension and dual-channel ABS provide confidence-inspiring stability and braking. The aggressive design, complemented by full-LED lighting and a TFT display, enhances its appeal. Though the firm seat may feel uncomfortable for long rides, the RC 390 remains a top choice for thrill-seekers and enthusiasts.
