    KTM has a new flagship in India, the sporty RC390, and we’ve just put it through a full road test to confirm exactly how it performs in India.

    We have now ridden the KTM RC390 on a variety of test tracks here and abroad, on open highways and in heavy city traffic. The ‘Race Competition’ bike naturally feels most at home at a track and does well on highways too, where it blasts you to triple-digit speeds in seconds. It’s riding in the city with heavy traffic on a daily basis that can get uncomfortable on this bike, due to such a track-focussed posture. On the other hand, due to such seriously quick performance and sharp handling, the RC390 makes a perfect stepping stone for riders who aspire to ride a quick, supersports class multi-cylinder superbike someday.
    And at Rs 2.05 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) it’s perhaps the sweetest biking deal available in India today, with safety features such as ABS brakes as bonus, still not even optional on several more expensive sportbikes. The KTM RC390 has barely any flaws then, to spoil an otherwise superb package; making this a KTM that’s well worth every last paisa in India.
