          • KTM RC 390

            • Outstanding Performance
            • Best-in-class electronics package
            • Ergonomics adaptable enough for both commutes and aggressive riding
            • Fantastic handling

            Aprilia RS 457

            • Looks - looks sporty, aggressive and premium. Good build quality and sharp design mean it attracts a lot of attention
            • Engine - lots of torque throughout the rev range makes commuting very easy. Quick overtakes even in a gear higher are effortless
            • Tyres - the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyres are fantastic both in dry and wet conditions, no complaints there
            • Features - the TFT console is user-friendly and offers a lot of useful information
            • Price - at Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is the mo

          • KTM RC 390

            • Could do with better tyres
            • Front suspension should have been adjustable
            • Could’ve gotten better fit and finish quality

            Aprilia RS 457

            • Riding posture - the clip-on handlebar is low-set and on the committed side, not the best for everyday commuting
            • Firm rear suspension - the RS 457’s monoshock is on the firmer side and lighter riders will be tossed around a bit when going through potholes and sharp speed breakers
            • Reliability - the RS 457 is coming out of a factory that’s never made a bike before so its reliability and how Aprilia handles its after-sales service is yet to be seen

            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.

            This bike is a lovely machine and best under 500cc segment The power and the handling that it give you is just out of this world, suspension is on a harder side but you can adjust it and it is giving me 27kmpl mileage and this bike is best for those who want a budget sports bike and you can even call it a mini superbike and this bike beats it’s competitors like r3 or ninja 500

            Rs457 ownership review
            One of the best performing bike in the segment with no compromise in any of the category. Service cost is as same as gt650 and mileage 20km/l u ll definitely enjoy this killer machine for its 270 degree crank engine. Yeah it is priced a quite high but not priced more than r3 . And yeah this bike has got ram air intake in it overall beginner friendly beast. Low end torque is very good that is i can maintain a speed of 40 in 6th gear just imagine about its tractability in traffic
