The updated version of KTM RC 390, which was showcased at EICMA last month was recently spied in India. It was spied in its production plant (Bajaj Auto plant) situated at Chakan, near Pune. RC 390 was first launched in India a few months ago and is expected to receive some upgrades in the 2016 facelift version. 2016 KTM RC390 features a larger 320mm front disc brake, new side-mounted aluminum exhaust (replaced by underbelly exhaust), slipper clutch, switchable ABS and ride by wire technology (replaced by customary cable mechanism). However, the engine specifications remain unchanged.
