2024 KTM RC 390 to get new design and engine
2024 KTM RC 390 spotted testing, revealing new details of the next generation motorcycle. The test mule has been spotted overseas wearing minimal camouflage.
It gets a single pod projector LED headlight, LED turn indicators, sporty fairing, etc. The side profile looks quite aggressive, heavily sculpted fuel tank, air vents, orange wheels and sharp tail with split seat setup. The riding position seems to be similar to the current RC 390 on sale.
The overall styling looks more mature while remaining sporty. There are no aggressive cuts and creases to make it look extreme. It looks inspired by the RC16 MotoGP bike. Let’s wait and see what colour schemes and graphics will be offered.
The new motorcycle will get a new frame and new sub-frame as well. It uses WP upside down front forks and monoshock suspension at the rear. The brakes look similar to the ones seen on the current model on sale. It will share a lot of elements with the upcoming KTM Duke 390, which has been spotted multiple times of late.
It will also get the same engine which is likely to be a new higher capacity powertrain of 399cc. The current model on sale is powered by a 373cc single cylinder, 4-valve, liquid cooled, DOHC engine producing 43 HP and 37 Nm torque. You can expect the new gen bike to offer better performance figures.
The new generation KTM RC 390 is expected to be revealed sometime in 2024 and likely to go on sale in India by the end of 2024. What do you think about the styling of the new model? Let us know in the comments below.
