The biggest pleasant surprise from this video from my perspective - The TVS Eurogrip tyres on Aprilia RS457 have done better on the racetrack than the Metzeler M5 (H rated) on KTM RC 390. This is a huge achievement for the India based tyre manufacturer! There used to be a time when we nicknamed Eurogrip tyres as Euroslip tyres as they performed very badly on the early editions of Pulsar 200NS. From that, if TVS has reached a phase where it is beating Metzeler tyres on track, then that is a big deal, no doubt!

Yep can relate to it 😅 people used to call it Euroslip. Btw, I have Gixxer SF 250 with the stock MRF Revz C1. Could you please suggest a good replacement? I was thinking of Michelin Road 5. Should I go for something else incase of availability issues.

The Aprilia is just better in every way, looks way way better, faster, better handling, componentry and electronics. 2 years ago I was in the market for a sports bike in this segment and I had to buy something else cause apart from RC and Apache there were no options (neither appealed to me), such a pity as I want the aprilia now 😢

imo, if you are on tight budget & want affordable/predictable aftersales experience then Rc390 is the one to go for but if one has extra ~1.2L of budget upfront, and is equipped to deal with expensive/nonpredictable aftersales experience then that Rs457 is the bomb! :* for me -- both are still a dream :')

I just wanted to hear that "worth the extra bucks for that exhaust alone" cause I was in love with the sound once the rev reaches 4k 5k rpm and the pull with it feels like a proper superbike at that moment

If KTM didn't shelve it's 500cc project, it would have a very strong contender to the RS 457.

Was the brake fade bad?

Haven't heard the 457's exhaust in flesh- but if someone says that it sounds the same as the RS660, then you'd be sold on the exhaust note. The RS660 despite being a twin sounds veryyyyy similar to its elder V4 sibling. A good aftermarket exhaust on the 457 could further elevate that sound and give you the feel of an RSV4. That alone is worth its price- everything else is a bonus and it wins absolutely at everything. I love KTMs, but the quirky design is not to my liking (next to an Aprilia I can call it straight ugly) and so is the inconsistent fueling at the bottom end and the engine/ exhaust sound. Biking enthusiasts are in for a real treat.

Awesome info and understandable ❤👌👍

Hi Autocar India, I'd just like to confirm if you're sure about the groud clearance of the RS being 150? Some KZreadr mentioned it being 120, source being the sales rep of the showroom in his city. Have you measured tue ground clearance yourself?

Hey Rishaad, while I really like your reviews, the backdrop track that is playing in this video takes the cake this time round, googled from Avicii to what not, mate, would be thankful if can call out the track on this review. Thanks much and have a good one. Cheers.

Did I hear it correct that the Indian made TVS tyres are better than the Metzelers…. If yes, India is on the right path….

Autocar if we zoom in your videos the text banners got cut, if we don't zoom then the display seems very small🤦‍♂️

Make a video comparison between Ninja 500 and Aprilia 457

Please also test the CFmoto 450 SR-S on that very track 🙏🏿

Aprilia has the 160 section tyre in rear but you mentioned it is 150 ??

Remember how the styling of ktm rc series was criticised during launch.. now its aesthetics are more desirable than vehicles a class above. Simply shows how futuristic ktms design language is..🧡🧡🧡

The video we all were waiting for but for the road not the track

Finally… the video that I was waiting for

Its real competitor is KAWASAKI NINJA 400 🙌🏻Check out the detailed comparison video on our KZread channel 😎

What is the track name ? Please

One question though... doesn't Bajaj also use the Perimeter frame on the newer pulsar NS series bikes?? I don't think Aprilia is the only one making it locally...

Love the Aprilia! One of the best bikes you can get for that price imo! If the quick shifter was standard oh man it'd be insane!

Firstly!! Gotta appreciate you guys putting a track comparo already. Secondly, I know it isn’t valid but new RCs are bad. Previous gen RCs were something else only. High level of admiration for Aprillia. Their first attempt is so good. Just like it’s elder sibling it has got everything.

Waiting from the launch 🙂🙂 thank you Autocar 😊

Aprilia look stunning and performance is beast.I'm not saying that RC 390 is bad but I love old onel.Specially I liked RC 390 2017 model🔥.In 2024 I'll go with Aprilia RS 457❤

the rs457's beauty gets even more highlighted in front of the ktm ...looks so much better than the ktm it looks fast while standing still .....design and sound alone should be deciding factors to get the aprilia ... only gripe with the aprilia is the skinny front tyre which doesnt go well with the big front end ... rest its a baby rsv4

The Aprilia will be more refined and balanced machine particularly with that frame and power plant they stuffed inside, However you get what you pay for i guess. Bang for buck the KTM with a few mods is decent enough for a trackday. I just wish they had a twin cylinder a posed to a single thumper.

I was convinced when you said aprila has parallel twin. No more need to know anything more. It wins because of that.

Both are Made in India 🎉 Doesn’t matter who wins

As a Gen2 RC 390 owner. I'm saying this, the Aprilia is a one up on the RC in EVERY WAY except brakes and tyres. But once those are upgraded. The Aprilia is just a better bike. But I still wouldn't trade my RC for it cause it's just that. An amazing machine.

Bro u forget something r15, r3, r6, r1m are the top league bikes that hold best best record..... But becoz of yamahas internals we are getting this overprice products from yamahas... And even if you go full on racing on tracks r3 is still shining in front of these two bikes.... But here is where price come.... So now its better to buy a rc 390 now... 🙂🙂

Rishad the missile Mody..

Better comparison is Ninja 400 vs Aprilia RS 457

People saying R3 and Ninjas surely are blind enough not to read that this comparison is only for Made in India products

Aprillia just made a beginner bike which will last long in the coming years and will cater to many bike ethusiats. Hope they keep bike services, pricing and customer support in check and continuosly fine tune this motorcycle in the coming years

That bigger 399cc engine on the Duke must come soon on the RC. Gap will be closer🎉🎉

Aprilla look dope🔥

KTM is a wonderful bike, a true pocket rocket but its reputation has taken a lot of damage in India. Aprilla entering the market with a price just a lac above the RC will definitely take over this segment

And significantly better looking bike.

This is like a click bait . It would have been better had Autocar waited out a little for the new generation KTM and then made the comparison.

Try old RC 390 now, bs3 variant best

The question still remains,, what will be the after sales service will be of Aprilia 😅

Powerdrift To Autocar

Aprilia surely has hit it out of the park with this one 👍

Ktm RC 390 is value for money bike here. Aprillia major drawback is back after sales service. Also parts availability is a big question mark meanwhile KTM has all the setted up service centers

do you know the rs457 has the same front disc which aprillia used in their 2015 pre year RSV4 BIKE.CRAZY.AND EVEN MORE CRAZY IS THAT IT HAS THE SAME ECU AS THE RSV4.MAD BRO.

Aprilia is a bit overpriced for what it is considering its made in India but the look and sound of it just temp you enough..

The handlebar on RS457 is quite straight so it looks worst...
