KTM has launched special GP editions of the RC 390 and RC 200 in India. The RC 390 GP is priced at Rs 3,16,070, while the RC 200 GP costs Rs 2,14,688 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The KTM RC 390 GP and RC 200 GP bikes come in a special Orange colour scheme inspired by the brand’s MotoGP racing bikes. The livery consists of a large KTM logo and the ‘Ready to Race’ text on the sides.

No mechanical changes have been made to either model. The RC 390 uses a 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes 43.5 BHP and 37 Nm, while the RC 200 is powered by a 199.5cc engine that produces 25.4 BHP and 19.5 Nm. Both bikes are equipped with a 6-speed gearbox.

The modification is likely to result in a 20 mm increase in ground clearance.

According to a media report, KTM is working on a modified exhaust for its 125 Duke, 200 Duke and RC 200 bikes. This redesigned unit is said to improve ground clearance.

The KTM 125 Duke, 200 Duke and RC 200 come with an underbelly exhaust that is routed under the engine. To achieve better ground clearance, KTM engineers are looking to remove the silencer protector that sits just below the crankcase. This is likely to result in a 20 mm increase in ground clearance.

The report also states that KTM would also have to make some preload adjustments to the rear monoshock to avoid the bikes from bottoming out when riding with a pillion.
