2022 KTM RC 200 | First Ride Review | Sagar Sheldekar Official
The all new KTM RC200 finally gets a proper upgrade with a new aerodynamic design, bigger airbox and lighter components to help it go faster. And despite the updates, the price has stayed the same at Rs. 2.08L Exshowroom to help it take the fight to the Yamaha R15V4 head on! Sarge takes it for a quick spin in this first ride review to see what it's got!

Hey man... Idk about you but I'll definitely take the functional design over an asthetic one for this motorcycle... I respect your preference... but in my opinion a sports bike can always use more downforce and grip... especially while the brakes and the frame is so good.

And as far as competitors like Honda & Yamaha don't give a damn about a quarter litre performance bike for India, KTM s are gonna Thrive regardless of all the disputes.

Hands down Metzler M7, used to come with the first gen BS3 RC390, KTM wasn't that much aware of Indian riding conditions back then so they literally used to put some track tyres on it, I owned a BS3 RC390 from 2015 and trust me the grip on these tyres are unmatched, they heats up quick and doesn't lose traction on corners even if you're breaking, the only con is that they last short, 15k km was the best I got. Later KTM replaced them with M5s and now it comes with MRF C1s, those you'll get on this exact bike.
Design looks good only downside is absence of belly pan... otherwise it would be perfect 🔥
Does the new front section look in the metal?

Hello, I have just learned how to ride a bike. Now i am looking for a sports bike which has around 200 cc. I won't drive it faster than 80kmph so i don't care much about the top speed. But i want a sporty feel in it. But i am confused. Can you pls suggest me which bike would be a good option, which has a great handling and is comfortable for city rides?
It's still amazing how KTM went from an obscure maker of dirt bikes, to a mainstream motorcycle company in such a short time. Then getting into the Indian market really worked out well. Now there turning out great looking, modern bikes for dirt cheap.

To transplant the front wheel, you would at least have to change the fork tubes as well but if they are not compatible with the older model outer tubes then you need to change the complete front shock absorbers. Look at the new axle. It is of a larger diameter and hollow. That means the wheel uses larger bearings too. I estimate a cost of about 20k for the fork, 6k for the wheel, 2.5k for the disc and axle. So you should be able to manage the front transplant in about 30k. For the rear, you need the wheel, disc, rear sprocket and the coupling assembly. Should be manageable under 10k.
SARSH sir! RC 200, R15M, Apache RTR 200 4V, latest gen Pulsar or any similar one, which is d best all rounder (incl. Track) that enhances EXPERIENCE/drives passion?
