KTM RC 200 Launch in India
The most important bit first! The KTM RC 200 launch in India could happen as soon as late next month or in early June. Several KTM RC 200 test mules have already been caught testing our on public roads and while Bajaj-KTM have so far been reluctant to share the KTM RC 200 India launch details, these regular sightings have only consolidated our belief that the launch is nearer than ever!
KTM RC 200 Price in India
While KTM RC 200 price in India will be announced only when the bike is launched in the country, it is very much for sure that the RC 200 would sit above the 200 Duke in KTM India’s product portfolio. This means that the RC 200 could have a price of approx INR 1.6 lakhs, which might be higher than the Duke 200 but would still undercut that of the fast aging Honda CBR 250R. The KTM RC 200 will play the perfect cousin to the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar SS 200, which is nothing but a faired variant of the 200NS, much like how the RC 200 is a faired sister of the 200 Duke.
KTM RC 200 Engine
As we’ve been saying, the KTM RC 200 is powered by the same engine that powers the 200 Duke. For the RC 200 though, this motor would come in a slightly different state of tune, all in a bid to match the sportier ergonomics and styling. This 200cc, Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, spark-ignition engine, liquid-cooled engine has a max power of 25 hp and comes mated to a six speed transmission. The engine has a bore size of 72mm and a stroke of 49mm. Engine lubrication is through a Forced oil lubrication with 1 rotor pump. The engine has a liquid cooling system with continuous circulation of cooling liquid with water pump.
KTM RC 20o Suspension and Brakes
The bike has WP suspension up front, with the rear getting a mono-shock absorber. Braking at front comes from a Disc brake with four-pot brake caliper
and at the rear from a Disc brake with one-pot brake caliper, floating brake discs
