The biggest change on the new 2022 KTM RC 390 Design over the outgoing model, the new bike gets a large LED headlamp placed inside the new front fairing with LED DRL-cum-indicators on either side.
The RC 390 also gets a bigger visor, new mirrors, a slightly more sculpted and larger 13.7-litre fuel tank, new split seats, as well as brand new sporty looking alloy wheels. KTM is giving New RC 390 In two paint schemes named KTM Factory Racing Blue and KTM Electronic Orange.
features
KTM claims that the new RC 390 gets a range of ‘Grand Prix inspired electronics’ including Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), QuickShifter+, lean-angle sensitive cornering ABS, and SUPERMOTO mode. Other features include a TFT display with KTM My Ride, power-assisted anti-hopping slipper clutch, 2-step height adjustable handlebar, as well as all-LED lighting.
engine
The 2022 RC 390 is powered by the same 373 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC engine as before. This engine churns out 43.5 PS of power and 37 Nm of torque, and is mated to a 6-speed transmission. KTM says that torque delivery has improved over the previous model, thanks to the new, 40% larger airbox.
