KTM RC 390 2023

KTM RC 390 2023

The KTM RC 390 presents itself as a sporty and dynamic bike that is particularly suitable for riders looking for an agile and manoeuvrable machine. Its fully adjustable suspension and low weight ensure precise and easy handling, while the comprehensive electronics package, including the innovative supermoto ABS, offers additional safety and riding pleasure. The engine, on the other hand, shows weaknesses in power delivery, especially at low revs, which is not what you would expect from a single-cylinder engine. The aggressive riding position is a double-edged sword: it enables a sporty riding experience, but can be uncomfortable for longer rides.

If you take a look at the key data of the MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a little pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price.
