KTM introduces track focussed RC 390 R with Supersport 300 competition kit

With a relentless commitment to developing lower capacity models with high levels of performance and a history of presenting hardcore ‘R’ models, KTM introduces the new RC 390 R taking inspiration from the new Supersport 300 category racing.

Limited to just 500 units overall, this new R version embodies the typical KTM Ready To Race spirit and builds on the abilities and pure appeal of the KTM RC 390. Armed with a series of hardware upgrades, the KTM RC 390 R is also perfectly placed to suit extreme track riding use.

Fully adjustable WP suspension front and back was tailor made for this exciting new model, providing huge levels of adjustment in order to get the KTM RC 390 R perfectly set-up for both rider and riding conditions.

With less focus on all-day comfort, a new top yoke and handlebar kit allows a more extreme racing handlebar position and adjustable for riders of all sizes. Beautifully finished, its machined construction provides precision, strength and weight saving. The addition of CNC milled, foldable brake and clutch levers provide increased feedback at fingers and are designed to flick-up in the case of a spill, helping to keep the KTM RC 390 R Ready To Race!

Other changes include a shorter intake trumpet to increase the overall efficiency of the KTM RC 390 R in race conditions and to create an engine characteristic with a slightly wider power band. Finished with new high quality graphics to display the intent of this new machine, the KTM RC 390 R will be available to order through official KTM dealers in Europe as well in overseas.
