All New Black KTM RC 200 has been launched!
Here’s a good news for all KTM lovers who wished there was a choice of colour scheme in KTM RCseries. The Austrian bike maker has launched the RC 200 in a new black colour scheme. The new black coloured small supersport offering by KTM priced at INR 1,77,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi) which means that the price remains the same as the existing white-coloured model.
Now that the new black colour scheme has been launched, an onlooker may assume it to be RC 390 because of extreme similarities. But there is a slight difference. Even though both the motorcycles have orange painted steel trellis frame & alloy wheels and sheeny black fairing, there has been a colour swap of inner fairing and graphics. The RC 200 gets a white inner fairing and orange graphics. For the bigger sibling, its vice versa. While the more-expensive RC 390 sports an orange inner fairing, the RC 200’s is white. When it comes to the decals, the RC 200 gets the brighter orange treatment in place of the white seen on the RC 390.
