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!
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
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
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}.
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.
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.
I'm sorry sagar sir but if KTM gives the RC200 a ABS version as an option so the market of RC390 will go down, as in the package of 1.98 if people get ABS in 200cc segment, the line up of RC200 will be more then his elder sibling RC 390 as we all are Indian's and we look for how can we get more without spending more money 😅, but sagar sir the review was seriously very awesome and the specs of RC390😍 egarly waiting for the duke 390 launch as well as hands on review of yours😍 #pdarmy #powerdrift ✌
Thanks #PDArmy fot this...really lookin forward for test video and dont forget Duke 390..Thats a real deal breaker.Hope you'll cover that as wel. P.S Is the exhaust akrapovic??

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, At 4:35 in your video in the comparison sheet of RC200 with other bikes it is shown that R15 does'nt have Aluminium Swingarm. I think R15 does have it. Can you clarify this to us?
Great review as always Sagar! 👍🏽#PDArmy does a great job as always. Would you recommend buying this bike as a first bike for someone? Also are the ABS and skipper clutch of good quality compared to the price at which this bike is retailed?
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.

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.
I just hope the younger generation understands that "with great power comes great responsibility" Ride safe. ATGATT!
finally 390 looks much better then 200
true
Ravi Utkarsh ReVzZ Rider fmfvborbvvhf
RetardedDeath but rc 200looking so classsic n sexy
n rc 390 looking like beast coming
Mannnnn 2:18 ooommmgggg yoooo.....love u guys!!!
How 'bout a powerwheelie! Ta daaaaah
major disappointment = no abs in rc 200
Because they want you to buy rc 390
Thinking the same
Much awaited upgrade it is then :/
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
Yes in 2019 it will come in june
Music from old Power to Rider videos?
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
BuFFMotO KTM is shit
I guess u urself are a shit

why the heck it doesn't have TFT colour display like the new Duke 390?
That's a bummer!
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.
These two only incite more excitement in me for the 2017 D390!
2:13 to 2:17 ... was all ears...
2:18... blown away....
kickass editing sirji :)
Why didn't the RC 390 get the new instrument cluster as the new Duke 390??🤔
2:18 which bike is that? please reply.. I'm waiting for another adventure touring bike like the himalayan but with higher power engine
Hey great videos.
Quick question.
When do you think the Duke 390 2017 is gonna launch 🚀 India 🇮🇳. ???????
***** thanks
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
I just wish rc390 could also been used for touring
Powerdrift awesome as always!😁👌😎✌
Gee thank you! Hope you've spread the word across ;)

Love you KTM for such e beautiful machine and #PD for such wonderful videos ✌✌✌✌✌👌👌👌
Make a comparison video on 2017 rc 390 vs duke 390
is there any change in fuel tank in rc 390 sir?
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..!!
Sagar Sheldekar Except whatever is imported from China!!😂😂 like electronics or Benelli.😂😂
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...!!

We hope we get to see the ABS on the RC200/Duke200 and all other bikes for that matter in the near future!
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.
PowerDrift does it come with the new instrument cluster, as in the one on the new Duke 390
seems like it has the old one itself .... 1:31

1) heat dissipation is better
2) the vibes are less
When will it be available in the market to purchase
Will the old variants be still available?
what about the tank it's steel or fibre?
I'm sorry sagar sir but if KTM gives the RC200 a ABS version as an option so the market of RC390 will go down, as in the package of 1.98 if people get ABS in 200cc segment, the line up of RC200 will be more then his elder sibling RC 390 as we all are Indian's and we look for how can we get more without spending more money 😅, but sagar sir the review was seriously very awesome and the specs of RC390😍 egarly waiting for the duke 390 launch as well as hands on review of yours😍 #pdarmy #powerdrift ✌
