2016 KTM RC 390 offers new exhaust, better passenger comfort

KTM has updated the ever-popular KTM RC 390 for 2016.

Based on feedback from owners and “the need to make it Euro4 compliant, the new RC 390 will feature a new exhaust that exits on the right side of the bike instead of underneath the bike. With the repositioning of the exhaust, KTM has been able to redesign the passenger foot pegs and the under belly pan, giving the bike even better ground clearance than before without making the bike too tall.

2016 KTM RC 390 — Note the new side exit exhaust and the improved ground clearance.

KTM has also given the bike an improved ride-by-wire throttle system that gives the rider more refined feedback and more efficiency.

Also added to the new bike as standard is a slipper clutch.

The bike’s 44 horsepower and 147 kilograms dry weight remains the same, while the brakes are also 20mm bigger at the front while other changes include adjustable brake and clutch levers and new wing mirrors. The fuel tank has also been updated to avoid fuel evaporation and the passenger seat is also 12mm thicker for better comfort for passengers.

Upcoming baby BMW sports bike will be based on this bike from India

Take a good long look at this bike as it is going to be the base bike for the upcoming BMW baby sports bike – the 313cc sports bike based on the G310R.

Word on the grapevine is suggesting that TVS Motor Company, the same company that assembles the G310R in India, is officially putting this bike into production as the TVS Apache RTR 300.

Based on the BMW G310R, the Apache RTR 300 will be powered by the same 313cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine as the G310R. Though both the engine and gearbox will eventually offer unique power figures different from the G310R, in its existing state of tune however, the BMW motor produces 31bhp and 28Nm of torque.

According to Indian website Rush Lane, the final production version of the Apache RTR 300 is expected to retain much of the dramatic bodywork shown in the pictures here as the Akula 310 factory racer concept which was showcased at the Auto Expo 2016 in India. According to Rush Lane, the bike will retain its twin headlamps, tall windshield, chiselled fuel tank, split seats, LED taillights and a stubby exhaust. ABS and sticky tyres could be offered as options.

When it is launched the Apache RTR 300 will take the fight to the KTM RC390, Yamaha R25, Honda CBR250RR and the Kawasaki 250.

The TVS model is unlikely to make it to Malaysia based on current conditions, but we are excited to see the BMW spin-off of this bike. Expected date of arrival in Malaysia will be sometime in the second or third quarter of 2017. As for the name of the bike, how does BMW S310RR sound?
