Rc 390 sport bike. Review on KTM RC 390

Everybody knows this bike is completely race oriented, but I never got a chance to test it out on a track yet due to work commitments. The bike has done twisting roads of Udaipur  for 5 weekends continuous(since I lived in Udaipur). It has even managed to do well on the dusty roads in Udaipur roads and did some off-roading in unknown parts of the highway as well. All in all, the RC390 is meant for the road but is quite willing for some dirt fun as well.

RC 390 comes with great power and a good braking system  so it is a complete  sports bike.I had expected the RC 390 to be exactly the same as the Duke 390 in the performance department, I was slightly wrong. Although the pull and the top speed are more or less the same, the RC 390 is a much smoother bike as compared to the Duke. The acceleration is much less jerky, and the engine doesn’t knock as much as the Duke’s does. The bike is actually a delight to rev and pull, it doesn’t have a mind of its own like the Duke.

very light clutch, extremely comfortable to use in bumper-to-bumper traffic as well

Excellent brakes, ABS as standard is awesome too

Slick gearbox

Less knocking at low speeds as compared to the Duke 390

Awesome illumination by the dual projector headlights

Extremely flick-able bike, even more so than the Duke!

Very narrow machine, ease to push through tight traffic

Much better tail section as compared to the Duke doesn’t vibrate at all

Bright mirror mounted indicators

Excellent build quality, better than the Ninja 300 in most respects

Magical suspension works wonderfully even with less travel

Very smooth performance, no jerky throttle response

KTM says the wheels are now of better quality, so that’s nice

look are very good as compared to duke 390  because of aerodynamic look it can reach at speed 167 km

handling is better than duke 390 and better fuel consumption then duke 390
