User Review of RC390 [2014-2016] by Santosh Mohapatra

This bike has brutal power throttle response so fast and braking too. Superb acceleration and top end also. It has dual channel abs which is more useful for safety nice suspension both front and rear which will give you confidence at the time of cornering and it consists of 43 bhp and 35nm which is superb.

Riding experience, the best riding, proud of KTM rider, always I like KTM.
The best bike in India is the KTM Duke and RC. My Next Plan is to buy KTM Duke 390 Because its riding experience is very satisfying. THANK YOU

About the Reviewer

The buying process was a bit dodgy as ktm had just set up shop in India when I purchased the bike.
I bought this specifically to ride fast on an excellent stretch of road near where I lived. It did that excellently while looking sumptuous.
Service and maintenance aren't too out of reach as long as one doesn't break the bike completely.
If one understands the purpose of this bike there are only pros, no cons. The few niggles it had were corrected in subsequent versions.
It is a brilliant example of a hardcore small sports bike. It aces that, and only that. Delivers dopamine in spades.

I brought my bike in november 2015 and had it for more than 3 years. I use it for daily commute and i get a great mileage of 35kmpl in city.. Ride quality on city roads and highway is superb as bike feels very composed on high speeds which makes over taking easy because bike is small, nimble and agile. Bike is not made for driving on village roads or bad roads as it has a stiff suspension that makes it a very bumpy ride. It is still a head turner and performance wise it doesn't have a match in the same price category and segment. Servicing cost is also reasonable but i have broken my mirror couple of times.. And they are not cheap and easy to keep in parking as people tell tend to move it and sometimes break it in the process of taking out there own vehicle.

About the Reviewer

Ktm rc390 has got a fully digital instrument console which offers you 37 different pieces of information. However, a newer unit is available with ktm 390 duke. Rc390 comes with a 320mm front and 230mm rear disc brake. Also, not to forget, abs comes as a standard on rc 390. The bybre sourced disc brakes work perfectly even in case of hard braking.Since rc 390 is a premium offering, visible wires don’t really suit its personality. But i must add that the motor did feel a bit vibration on idle but once you set in motion it irons out with a raspy exhaust note in the background this continues to remain the biggest concerns with the ktm rc 390. Ktm engineers say that they have worked to direct the airflow from the fans towards the ground along with an additional exhaust fan for better cooling. But this doesn’t seem so effective when it comes to riding in real-world conditions.

This is a mad, mean machine! you will love every ride on it as long as there is no traffic. - most precise handling bike in this segment.- makes the most amount of power in this segment. 45 bhp!- lightest in this segment!- cheapest in this segment! half the price of an equivalent machine.- cheap to maintain (in contrast to kawasaki ninja 300/400 and yamaha r3) - worst choice for city commute - most uncomfortable and runs very hot- safest in this segment - best in class tyres, brakes (abs -standard)- build quality and reliability could be better - nevertheless, parts are super cheap to simply replace in comparison to competition - hell! you can buy two ktm rc390s for the price of one ninja 400!! and both come with only 45 ponies!So no right to complain!
