KTM RC 390 and RC 125 prices announced in UK

The leading European motorcycle manufacturer KTM has announced the prices of its new entry level RC racing machines for the European market. India bound KTM RC 390 has been priced at £4,999 or Rs. 5.09 lakh, while RC 125 will be available in UK for £4,499 almost Rs 4.6 lakh. The UK pricing also give hints about its Indian pricing, we are expecting it at Rs. 2.5 lakh.

The prime development directive for the new RC range was to build appealing, top quality sport motorbikes that radiate ample excitement with their racing concept and design, their cutting edge features and their aggressive performance while at the same time distinguishing themselves with the best possible rideability, great reliability, reasonable pricing and easy maintenance. The result is three uncompromising, fully faired racers, each of which is only identifiable as a street-legal bike by its cool dual headlights and rear view mirrors with integral indicators.

The RC 390 has been powered by the same highly developed, powerful and reliable 373.2cc, single cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled DOHC mill as the Duke 390. However, similarities end at the frame, which combines precise handling with perfect stability at any speed. WP Suspension USD front forks at the front have the same 43mm tube diameter as those of the KTM Superbike 1190 RC8 R. Developed in cooperation with Brembo, the braking system includes a 300mm front brake disc as well as standard ABS for maximum safety. Even the tires offer true, full size racing dimensions at 110/70ZR17 front and 150/60ZR17 rear.

India will get RC 200 and 390 by the mid of next year, while the company will showcase the bikes at 2014 India Bike Week. This is all we have for now, stay tuned to BikeDekho for more updates on the same.
