The KTM RC200 now comes during a new color scheme, called Electronic Orange.It was in late-January when KTM India launched its BS6 products. Four months later, the corporate had increased prices of all its models.
Specifications
The 199.5cc motor has been robbed of a touch performance, down by 0.83PS and 0.2Nm to 25PS and 19.2Nm. But it's still the foremost powerful 200cc bike in India today. And despite meeting stricter emission norms, KTM has managed to stay the underbelly system. The engine continues to feature fuel-injection but doesn’t get ride-by-wire just like the 390s. The KTM signature trellis frame which holds everything together continues to be a single-piece unit, unlike the bolt-on subframe design seen on the Duke. WP suspension is present at both ends - an upside-down fork and preload-adjustable monoshock. The bike is dropped at a stop by ByBre disc brakes at both ends (300mm/230mm) with the help of dual-channel ABS. The 9.5-litre fuel tank could prove too small if you’re looking to tour long distances.
Desing
Not much has to be said about the design: it’s the identical fully-faired look that we’ve grown accustomed to over the last 6 years. What’s new on the BS6 version are the graphics schemes and colour combinations on offer. The bike features a sculpted appearance with the highlights being the dual projector headlights up front, underbelly system and a pointy, steeply-rising tail section.
Features
The RC 200 gets and LED tail-lamp and switch indicators, back-lit switchgear and fully-digital instrumentation, though it's an LCD unit unlike the TFT screen seen on the 390 Duke. Twin-projector headlights do an honest job and therefore the BS6 version now features dual-channel ABS, compared to the BS4 bike’s single-channel system.
