KTM RC 125 Deliveries Begin Across India

KTM India recently introduced the RC 125 in the country. The baby KTM RC 125 is the brand's smallest full faired offering and shares its underpinnings with the KTM 125 Duke. Priced at Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom India, Introductory), deliveries for the RC 125 have begun across dealerships. The KTM Rc 125 takes on the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 at its price point, and it will be interesting to see if customers flock to the KTM dealerships instead of Yamaha's for a small capacity track tool. The RC 125 is about Rs. 17,000 more expensive than the 125 Duke and gets a number of changes including the clip-on handlebar, projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and of course, the full fairing.

    The baby RC offers a dedicated riding position and can be a great entry-level track bike for those looking at a taut handler without too much power. A lot of younger buyers will also appreciate the motorcycle for its equipment and performance, which does not come at a too expensive cost. The KTM RC 125 is available in two colours - white and orange.

    KTM AG, meanwhile, has a number of offerings lined up for the second half of the year. This includes the much awaited 390 Adventure, new RC family, updated Duke family and more. All of these models are expected to have a global unveil at EICMA in November this year, and will slowly make their way to the Indian market by early 2020. There's also the 790 Duke that has been in the works for India but rumours suggest that homologation issues have pushed the bike's launch to the end of 2019 or possibly by early next year.
