2020 KTM RC390 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
ENGINE & EXHAUST
The KTM RC 390’s state-of-the-art, single-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts once again underlines KTM’s development strength. Tame the streets with its punchy torque, race the curves with its smooth but impressive power.
ENGINE
Phenomenal power
The KTM RC 390 engine not only delivers bountiful torque and punchy acceleration, but also good manners in everyday use, all with outstanding fuel economy. This lightweight, compact engine really packs a punch and with 32 kW (44 hp) it’s the sportiest option out there for A2 riders. Thanks to the ingenious intake design and the meticulous fuel injection system, the KTM RC 390 is ready to leave the rest of the city traffic behind at the twist of a wrist.
EXHAUST
Race-inspired system
The compact, three-chamber silencer is positioned close to the bike’s overall center of gravity. This helps keep the motorcycle centrally balanced and easy to maneuver in the tight and twisty urban streets.
CHASSIS
The orange painted frame of the RC 390 has been engineered to be one of the best performing chassis in the segment. It’s been built to reward riders with impressive agility, sporty feedback, comfortable ergonomics and dynamic handling. The increase of the steering head angle to 66.5 degrees resulted in a shorter trail, shorter wheelbase and increased ground clearance. All these modifications release the racer in the RC and guarantee quick, responsive and playful handling.
SUSPENSION
