Ring ring #NotificationSquad! Tell us what you would like to know about the 2017 Rabid twins and we shall try to cover that in our first ride since you're the special lot!
A few minutiae that you missed out on : 1. Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) is introduced. 2. Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) has been introduced. 3. New paint is UV resistant. 4. RVM has larger area now for better rear-viewability. Also, I am not sure if 12 mm extra cushioning/padding is on pillion seat or the rider's. Because most of the sites suggest its for pillion, but KTM MY 2017 has for riders {as per their website}.
While other brands excuse themselves by naming their faults as the character of their bikes, ktm is the only brands who throws all the faults out of the window....be it a duke 200 or a superduke. #ktmlove
I feel the side mounted exhaust is awesome and it completes the look of the bike.. also.. can switch to aftermarket ones easily now. Great stuff with RC 390.
Ajay sharma because it is a beginner's bike, so no need of abs in it, until 500cc every bike under it is a beginners bike so no need of abs in them, you should throw out the mentally that our youngsters can handle that beginners bike but all you what that compering them with others and don't let them do that others do because of your ill mentally
hows the sound with the new exhaust, how does ride by wire help, how is the seat comfort level now for long ride, how loud is the fan noise, how well is the heat dissipation, how good are the new break pads and does the increased disc mm help in the stopping power. . . and is the slipper clutch in this better than ktm duke 390
One thing which I don't get is why KTM is not bringing the machines for which it is known for.... Dirt bikes. The KTM XCF - 250 is a great looking supermoto and I would love to own and ride one. We don't have much option when it comes to dirt bikes... The only dirt bike currently available is Hero impulse and Kawasaki ones are ridiculously expensive..!! please KTM ... we want to have some off road fun..!!
Amaey Paradkar yeah bro... 100% True. A nice Italian company screwed up by Chinese ownership. Thank almighty God that EBR was taken over by Hero otherwise it would have been dead...!!
Sagar Sheldekar Salute Sarge .. actually the problem is that the market for these type of bikes is very limited and there are only a few enthusiasts like me who will be willing to purchase it. Indians like cruisers and sports bike only.
zeta tube I am not talking about motocross bikes but supermotos which can be used both on and off road. By the way don't mind but you are talking as if our roads were as smooth as silk..!! A lightweight agile powerfull Supermoto will be an ideal tool for cutting through city traffic.
Only a few guys will buy these kinds of bike first of all the price will be high and second of all there are lot of different bikes available now at much cheaper rate not the offroad one but naked and sports so its not a good strategy to introduce these kind of bike
yes, it is greatly required especially on bad road manners persistent here ...especially the excessive people dying on ktm bikes ..i also shied away from Himalayan for the same reason.
plzzz help me ? which bike should I buy under 2 lack I am confused between dominor 400 and RC 200 ? I need the bike for daily commute and some the long ride . the bike should be good looking also plz help ?
Hello Power Drift......what was your preference the 2016 ktm rc 390 or the 2017 ktm rc 390 regarding the looks irrespective of the practical updates nd waiting for the first impression.
Hi sagar, wanted to know what wud be a better option to buy, the 2017 rc 390 or the 2017 duke 390 . My use would be weekend long rides , and short uses in the city.
can we use it for comfortable touring...based on the seating position point of view..i know its meant for track..but if there is a possibility to tour...
Hey power drift I just wanted to ask you something hopefully you can answer it. I have a 200 rc 2017 and I'm just wondering if I have to warm the bike up before I ride it. And another thing why do I feel like my bike gets too hot and sometimes I just ride it for like 16 minutes. I hope you can answer. Greetings from mexico to be precise oaxaca.
While test riding RC 390 please inform us if there is any significant changes for 1)Heat 2)Vibration 3) Comfort in city ride (as seat has been modified) Waiting for your test ride video, Thanks
this time too make a short story with the rc 200 as before it attracts a lot of people to subscriber PD maybe it was your first video which I had seen and subscriber PD !!
Still no ABS on the 200cc RC? I thought I had read somewhere, ABS had become mandatory in India for all bikes above 150cc. And damn, PD never ceases to amaze me with their way of presenting and the detailed reviews.
I just hope the younger generation understands that "with great power comes great responsibility" Ride safe. ATGATT!

PowerDrift rc should have tft screen
PowerDrift you guys pretty much covered it.. just wanna see sarge hauling ass on the rc 390💯
Apple has those upgrade programs for the iPhone..maybe KTM should bring it in for the RCs and Dukes too..How 'bout that?
PowerDrift comparison with D400
PowerDrift I thought the updated model just have a new colour scheme & outer exhaust but good to know there are some mechanical changes as well.
finally 390 looks much better then 200
true

BuFFMotO KTM is shit
I guess u urself are a shit
I feel the side mounted exhaust is awesome and it completes the look of the bike.. also.. can switch to aftermarket ones easily now. Great stuff with RC 390.
major disappointment = no abs in rc 200
Because they want you to buy rc 390
Thinking the same
Much awaited upgrade it is then :/

Yes in 2019 it will come in june
2:18 which bike is that? please reply.. I'm waiting for another adventure touring bike like the himalayan but with higher power engine
why the heck it doesn't have TFT colour display like the new Duke 390?
That's a bummer!
hows the sound with the new exhaust, how does ride by wire help, how is the seat comfort level now for long ride, how loud is the fan noise, how well is the heat dissipation, how good are the new break pads and does the increased disc mm help in the stopping power. . . and is the slipper clutch in this better than ktm duke 390
These two only incite more excitement in me for the 2017 D390!

Why didn't the RC 390 get the new instrument cluster as the new Duke 390??🤔
