You Now Have To Shell Out Even More For The KTM RCs And ADVs

What is surprising is that for the price of the RC 125, you can now get bikes like the Jawa 42, Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. Its primary competitor, the Yamaha R15 v3, is now Rs 16,000 cheaper and the Yammie is a more powerful and much more versatile supersport.

From being one of the most hotly-anticipated motorcycles to one of the most dearest ones in the segment, the KTM 390 Adventure’s new price tag isn’t favouring its cause much. At Rs 3.16 lakh, it is now Rs 17,000 costlier than its launch price in 2020. What’s more detrimental is that the BMW G 310 GS, which we believe is a way better all-rounder and our pick in the segment, costs Rs 26,000 less than its Austrian counterpart. Sure, the Bavarian ADV tourer is neither as quick nor as feature-loaded as the 390 ADV but it is more capable off-road and has well sorted suspension and ergonomics.

The RC 200 has seen a small price bump and that must be due to imminent arrival of the next-gen supersport. The new-design RC 200 has been spotted on test multiple times and is expected to launch in the coming months.
