2022 KTM RC 390 | Road + Track review | Game Changer or a Compromise? | Sagar Sheldekar Official
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2024
- KTM has finally given the RC 390 the much needed update that we were all waiting for. Just like the RC 200, it features all new bodywork, lighter wheels and braking system and bigger 13.7L tank while still weighing the same. And to harness the 37Nm that the engine now produces, it also gets a state-of-the-art electronics package including cornering ABS and a bi-directional quick shifter. What is missing is the fully adjustable front forks and sticky tyres that the Euro-spec Rc 390 comes shod with. So is it a better all round package or a compromise? Sarge hops on to find out.

Aaaahh.. a treat for the eyes. Excellent review Sarge. I was waiting for a detailed, all rounded review and you delivered it. Respect.
Happy to hear that. Do like and share
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Any launch dates for 490 adv?
@@svpglb nothing yet
The best review of the 2022 RC 390 yet. Waiting for the Duke 390 review to start with "But that's not the reason you wanna buy this bike, the reason you will, is because of this.. (*insert insane wheelie launch*) "
Do like and share the love ahead! Cant wait to get me hands on the 490 Duke! #slurp
This is what exactly i miss in this video
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial did you just say 490 Duke? Is that a typo? Dude don't get me excited
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial 490's twins idea is parked for now right ? i don't think its coming .
@@agentK1896 He is right it's under development at bajaj akurdi R&D.
This man should have had 1M subs by now. 175 is the highest any TH-camr has gone till now with the new RC and that's you Sarge. Way to go!
Cheers man. Help me get there by sharing this ahead
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I'm on a hamster roll watching your videos. I definitely will for you bud! ❤️
4:42 that drone chase 🔥 looks so cool. Wallpaper worthy!
Tejas killing it and how
The unbiased Rc390 review i was waiting for🙌. You inspire me a lot
Happy to fuel your passion for two wheels
Aapka aye vdo dekhke rc 390 lene ka mann ho rha he..i always love rc 390 for brutal performance...abhi to pehle se comfortable bhi he.... You have something , jo baki reviewer me nahi he..aapka vdo dekhke log involve ho jata he vdo me...#Serge sir
Bought a lightly used (900 mile break in) 2023 model and it's amazing. I'm a cruiser guy that wanted to get out of the zone and this little monster has done it. I love how needle sharp the handling is. All you have to do is turn your head slightly and the bike is cutting that corner so sharp the road bleeds. So glad I got this instead of a larger displacement supersport. I'm 6 foot even and 210 pounds and fit on it like a tailor made glove.
Congrats on your purchase
Only this guy can do justice to this bike, what a phenomenal review! More power to you and the Team.
Thanks man. Do like and share the love ahead
Finally we got what we all were waiting for the 'sarge charged' review as it should have been for the new ktm RC 390......awesome job Sarge.

Bought mine after this review, it's been 5 months of riding this beautiful beast and I'm happier than ever! Happy riding mates! 🌻
Happy to help. Congrats on your purchase
I remember watching the old rc390 review by sarge . It was the best ,. Now with the new rc390 sarge has done it again.❤️✨
Music to my ears. Do like and share the love ahead
Sarge like always unbiased and honest in calling it incomplete , that's what it is, KTM did exactly what they did with Adventure 390.
Sigh! Wish they launch the Euro spec as an option atleast!
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Exactly, TVS at one hand makes their customers feel special by giving them improvements in both Novelty and Function and on other hand manufacturers hesitate to bring their international specced machines.
@@ashwin58336 if only the rr310 had a better engine... it's so tempting with those fully adjustable kyb suspension 🥲
Here in the USA, just picked up the 2023 model. Put 300 miles on it this week. Wonderful bike! Has fully adjustable suspension and continental tires!
You get the good bits. Congrats on your purchase
Finally, a much awaited review. As always, you killed it with your amazing narration and camera work 👌.

Missed watching you for a while! I haven't seen you since your PowerDrift days and to be honest, I used to watch that channel for your content. Glad to see you go independent and it's a treat to rediscover your content I've missed out on.
Good to see you here. Hope you have subscribed
This is the review we are waiting for ❤️.. last lines were true ...while other TH-camrs saying shit things that nobody wants to listen.. the way you said all the things .. i felt like i drove the bike and got experience of driving it..thanks a lot... Sir hats off 🙏👌🏻👌🏻
Mission accomplished. Glad you enjoyed it. Do like and share the love ahead

7:02 Man! Three camera angles at one corner. Sarge, your videos are creating a new benchmark with every new upload. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Do like and share
Finally! Mr Sagar Honesty Sheldekar nails another review. You have put my thoughts into good words. The rc390 is now a good jack of a lot of trades but not the master of one anymore. Why do a half touring half race setup is something I don't understand. I would still have been okay if they just killed the rc and made it a proper sports tourer types. The rc390 was a stark contrast to the ninjas and the R3s. It had a purity of purpose. Why rob it of its USP? (We all know it is to sell it to a larger audience by betraying the core fanbase).
The adjustable suspension would see it own both these worlds
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Agreed.
Ah! I just finished my assignment. I've got my exam tomorrow. Watched Sarge's video. I can sleep in peace now. What a tempting motorcycle! and what an insanely well-made video!! kudos to you and Tejas and the others! Thanks, Sarge!
Glad you enjoyed it All the best for your exam.
Just waiting for your review 🥰😌.. I can clearly remember the review of 2017 KTM RC 390 which you made.. I loved it so much that I downloaded it and showed to my family..🥰.. after watching that, my Mom also loves to see your videos..❤..
Hope she likes this one too
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Absolutely 🥰❤
Doing what i can
brother
Appreciate it
Are you alive?
Or a fan?
Love your reviews Sagar!! really good edition plus a very enjoyable and sincere approach. It is very difficult to find both mixed nowadays, as normally the riders that have the money and time for good editing are being sponsored and they do not take the honest approach that you have. Keep going!! Greetings from Spain!
Cheers man. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have subscribed
Well detailed video bro. I still watch your first gen ktm 390 video with goose bumps. Thumps up to ur well detailed videos.👍

what a really nice bike, and the improved ergonomics sounds like a good enough deal to me haha. Can't wait until it enters Indonesian market, which I'm not sure will happen any time soon 😅
Hope it does
Der aaye par bahot hi jyada Durust aaye ..!!!
That's too comprehensive and professional review!!
And skills of drone pilot are no shorter than that of our beloved rider !!!
Tejas killed it with the FPV
Booked one, waiting for your review from past few days you inspired me to be a better rider , keep going sarge ❤️
Hope this helps!
Bro whats the onroad price?
I have been watching Sir since the duke 390 2013 video and since then i can say that whatever Sir says take it as the truth. I have watched literally all the reviews of rc 390 available on youtube and it felt incomplete until watched this review. Kudos to you Sir!!!
Thanks bud. Do like and share
Sarge, could you please tell me the mileage of this bike in all riding conditions? I know that bothering about mileage on 350+cc bikes is foolish but out of curiosity I would like to know.
Around 28kmpl
I bought my first gen Duke thanks to Sagar. Have bought the other iterations since then and now I crave this 390. I know it’s not “new” by any means now, but it has my ❤
I recommend waiting for the next RC with the new Duke 390 engine
GOAT of bike reviews love u sir keep going🙌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😍🥰

@@nikhilbisht333 Haha appreciate the support
He is "GOD" of review not "goat"
you are the best moto journalist in India. your vocabulary, accent and video transitions make your review more sexier. sad part I'm watching is the best having 143k subs only
Help me change that by sharing this ahead
Sargent review as always gives more bhp per ton , And Few optional like, Adjustable front or may be made to order kind of upgrades would have sealed the deal. Anyway still a package which is hard to ignore in its category. Looking fwd for more updates Sarge
Really hope they atleast offer it as an option
There is no any reviewer than sagar which review any bike as detailed as this man does. Wow man what a review, exelent, wonderful, it feels just wow.

I haven’t seen anyone knee down while riding this new rc390. Looks race track professional. Beauty to see you while riding. 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Do like and share
Lovely review as always. Totally disappointed with Bajaj's penny pinching with the suspensions. First with the Adv 390, now the RC. That penny pinching doesn't reach the customer either as Bajaj has started charging a lot of premium these days. The 2014 RC was launched at 205k! They should have at least offered two variants to let at least the enthusiasts get a taste of the complete package.
I hope they have at least used a passable quality of plastic for the new airbox as the old one made with the plastic used in 50 Rupee toys was known to crack every 10k km or so. Same goes with the head gasket, water pump seals and the radiator fans too which all were of pathetic quality.
Really hope they launch the euro spec version as an option
Sir, Aapke videos mein kuch alag hi vibes hein...... Jitne bhi riders bajaj k track par rc390 ka review kar rahe hein koie bhi 170 /171 se uppar nhi le ja pya hein.... Aapne 175 clock kar diya experience matters 🥰🥰🥰
I was pleasantly surprised to see it reach that number
ktm rc's and Sagar Sheldekar is like cherry on top since it came out in 2012 , im in love with the Design ...function over form is not everybody's cup of tea but i love it!!!
Cheers man. Do like and share
Happy with my 2016 bs3 model rc 390🤩..the grunt , the pull, the adrenaline..

I have sometimes criticised sagar on few reviews... But he nailed this one
Each and every point was spot on.. Kudos to sagar
Cheers
Great video as always.
Going by the facts it will be even more fun to add new wheels to the old gen RC.
Not sure if they can be retro fitted
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I guess few other parts will be required but totally worth and I think here in Canada RC will be released with adjustable front suspension so I can swap the whole front end.
it's deeply satisfying as u said,, Always ur fanboy

I din’t even searched on YT or tried checking for a review video since the launch of RC390. As I knew I would be notified once the video is uploaded from Sarge.
All the answers are sorted in just one video plus the way the shots are taken , the editing and not to forget how everything is conveyed by Sarge. ✨
Hands down best channel for detailed review videos. 🫶🏻

Haha thanks. Yes the bigger tank is a big plus
Sarge u are the best man among all other auto journalists the way u explain about machines I love man
You are too kind. Do like and share
Finally you said it. Everyone are like we have electronics we have better aerodynamics and its softer to ride in city. We know what we lost and it's big. Hope they get that tyres and suspension sooner.
Fingers crossed!
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Hey sagar I don't see KTM bringing in adjustable suspension anytime soon. So went searching for adjustable things on the market. Did't find front setup in India. It'd help if you put in some suggestions.
Awesome bikes and a befittingly great review! Keep up the great work Sagar!

The KTMs have always been most value for money bikes right from 2015 generation 2. Speed accurate, saddle accurate ( firm chasis and suspension always better than cushy and softer ones !), Full suite electronics that none offers in thier price range backed by decent service. For once the KTM falls short for its very high set standards. The Brand still commands respect over its peers any day !
The euro spec RC would have put it back on the top of the pecking order by a country mile
Superb review as usual by Sarge.... and for RC390 , it turned from supersport to a sport tourer.. IMO
The adjustable suspension would have made all the difference
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I know looks are subjective but the new RC's front area looks too wide and the rest of the bike is slim... does not look proportional to me. whats your view on this.
@@somakadityaray8793 I also hated it when the first pictures came out but it looks a lot better in person.
Kudos for wonderful insight Sarge. This tells me that my previous gen RC 390 can still held its Head High !!!
For sure. Glad you enjoyed it. Do like and share
