The new KTM RC 390 comes with loads of improvements and 2017 model is alot better than the pervious model. Though new RC 390 is 12000 more expensive than its predecessor, the hike is because of five major improvements done on this bike.
The bike comes with ride by wire system that will offer a better throttle response and efficiency. 2017 RC has adjustable levers where riders can adjust the levers to suit their comfort.
The under belly exhaust is absent on new RC and thus it gets a side slung exhaust which looks perfect. You can even go for performance exhaust like Yoshimura, akrapovic, twin brother exhaust and etc.
The bike gets bigger disc brakes which will boost your confidence. The new RC 390 has a new paint job and its a fresh look. I love this bike. I am sure that RC is the best in its segment.
