2018 KTM RC 390

The KTM RC 390
has the perfect ingredients to show the rear lights even to larger
supersport bikes every now and then. Thanks to design refinements
such as vertically stacked transmission shafts, the sophisticated
DOHC single of the
KTM RC 390 is extremely compact and weighs in at only 36 kg. A
ride by wire system adds refinement, while the proven PASC⢠slipper
clutch minimizes rear wheel chatter when trail-braking sharply into
corners or downshifting aggressively. In addition, there is a
lightweight exhaust system with aluminum and steel silencer. The
trellis frame, WP suspension components, the first-rate brake
system with disengageable ABS and the powerful 320 mm front disc
brake ensure precision, full control and maximum performance. Then
there are practical features such as large mirrors and adjustable
levers. In short: it is just the thing for well-versed sports
riders with a penchant for understatement, but also for road racing
rookies and returning riders with high octane fuel in their
veins.
