KTM RC 390 Erlkonig
Like a little RC8

The current KTM RC 390 was presented at EICMA in 2013. In order to survive in the increasingly beleaguered entry-level segment, KTM is working on redesigning the little athlete. Now another Erlkonig was caught.

Originally it was KTM RC 390 mainly intended for the Asian and South American markets, where small, sporty machines are in great demand. In the meantime, however, the RC 390 has also won a permanent customer base in Europe. But other manufacturers have also discovered the segment of small A2-compatible sports motorcycles for themselves. Honda lures with the CBR 500 R and Yamaha with the YZF-R3. Kawasaki has already withdrawn with the Ninja 400. High time for KTM to sharpen the RC 390.

Improved ergonomics, more range

The next KTM will be like the current model RC 390 Developed again in cooperation with KTM’s Indian shareholder Bajaj and will continue to be produced by him, as well as the 390 Duke and the 390 Adventure.

The Erlkonig, caught on test drives, already indicates the most important changes to the RC 390: A newly shaped handlebar is supposed to improve ergonomics, a larger tank increases the range and a larger single-disc brake system improves braking power on the front wheel. The new colored TFT display in the cockpit, which is already in the KTM 390 Adventure as standard equipment.

The rear frame is obviously being completely redeveloped in order to be able to offer more seating comfort for the passengers together with a new bench seat. Little hand is put on the main frame.

Optical borrowings from the RC8

In the new KTM RC 390 remains with the well-known 373 cm³ single-cylinder engine, but with regard to the stricter EU5 emission and noise regulations as in the Euro 5 KTM 390 Duke is further developed. To do this, the manifold guide is changed. The front silencer including the catalytic converter seems to be getting bigger. The power of 44 hp and the torque of 35 Nm will probably remain unchanged.

The design of the rear silencer will certainly change before the launch, as will the cladding. Although this looks unfinished in our photos, the finished design can still be guessed at: The front, in particular, is styled much more pleasing than before and includes a central full-LED main headlight, which is strongly reminiscent of the design of KTM’s former supersport Flagship RC8 will be ajar. In addition, the fairing is much wider, which, in addition to better wind protection and better seating comfort for taller drivers, also gives the new RC 390 a much more adult appearance. The presentation of the new KTM RC 390 is expected in the course of 2021.

Conclusion

The new version of the RC 390 will remain an attractive sport bike for beginners. With its single cylinder, it is virtually unrivaled here.
