KTM RC 390 RC 200 RC 125 Get New Colours

The three motorcycles get one new colour each.
All new colours come at the same price as the previous colours.
No mechanical changes whatsoever.

In a bid to refresh its RC lineup, KTM has launched new colours for the flagship RC 390, mid-spec RC 200 and the entry-level RC 125, in India. These colour options will be sold alongside the older colours. Thankfully, KTM isn’t charging extra for any of these colours. The price list is as follows:

Models	New colour options	Already-existing colour scheme	Price, ex-showroom Delhi
KTM RC 125	Dark Galvano	Electronic Orange	Rs 1,59,629
KTM RC 200	Electronic Orange	Dark Galvano	Rs 2,00,864
KTM RC 390	Metallic Silver	Ceramic White	Rs 2,53,184

Compared to the older colours, the new one in the KTM RC 125 gets a darker theme, whereas it’s the opposite with the KTM RC 200. It gets a brighter, more orange colour palette. The top-end KTM RC 390 gets an overload of silver with orange and white highlights no as opposed to the older black and white dual-tone pair with orange highlights. The new colours offer a bit of a variety in the RC lineup, and should help in garnering more sales.

KTM has not tinkered with the mechanicals of any of these bikes. The RC 125’s engine is good for 14.95PS and 12Nm whereas the KTM RC 200’s motor produces 25.8PS and 19.5Nm. The top-of-the-line KTM RC 390 makes a healthy 43.5PS and 35Nm. The three bikes employ inverted front fork and a rear monoshock, both sourced from WP. They also get a disc brake with radial caliper up front and a disc at rear with dual-channel disengageable ABS as standard.

While the KTM RC 125 goes up against the Yamaha R15 V3.0, the KTM RC 200 is a sportier alternative to the Bajaj Pulsar RS200. The lean, mean KTM RC 390 rivals the TVS Apache RR 310, the only other BS6-compliant bike in its segment at the moment.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
