Immerse yourself in the sheer power and unprecedented dynamics of the 2017 KTM RC 390 ABS. Experience roaring performance with the bike’s single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that maximizes a torque of 36 Nm at 7000 rpm, complimented by 32 kW power capacity. The precision-controlled 6-speed transmission overlays the necessary bedrock for a lively, agile drive while the PASC antihopping clutch guarantees a massively commanding grip.
Feel the wind cooling as liquid courses through the engine, fulfilling the double purpose of boosting power and ensuring longevity. Turning the bike on is such a breeze with its Electric Starter, while a Bosch EMS regulates the engine’s fuel injection.
The bike’s heart, a displacement of 373.2 cc, works in perfect harmony with an exceptional bore and stroke of 89mm and 60mm respectively. The machine is virtually eco-friendly with a fuel consumption rate of just 4.3 liters per 100km.
The KTM flaunts a Bosch 9MB two-channel ABS, providing excellent control and reassuring you of a safer ride. The bike’s framework – a powder-coated Steel trellis frame, assures you of robustness and long-lasting resilience.
The crowning touch lies in its braking system; a front brake four-piston radial fixed caliper accompanied by a front brake disc diameter of 320mm and a rear brake single-piston floating caliper rounded up by a rear brake disc diameter of 230mm. Want more? Its WP upside-down Ø 43mm front suspension, together with a WP monoshock rear suspension, are readied to take on any bumps and humps on the road, promising an unequivocally smooth ride. The lightweight dry-weight of 147kg coupled with a generous ground clearance of 178.5mm reinforces agility without compensating on stability.
