KTM India has added a fresh color option for the highly popular RC 200 motorcycle and has labeled it Metallic Gray. The motorcycle will now be available in Black, Blue, and the newly added Metallic Gray color. The ex-showroom prices of all three colors have been set at approximately Rs 2.5 lakh. No change has been made in the bike's mechanics and features besides this fresh color option.

The same powerful engine of the RC 200 gives this bike a sporty performance. It features a 199.5cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and produces 24.65 bhp at the rate of 10,000 rpm and 19.2 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. The engine comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox, making the ride both smooth and controlled.

The RC 200 now features full LED lighting, i.e., from the headlamp right through to the taillamp, all the lights are now LED. Aside from this, it also features an LCD screen which displays all necessary information, including speed, gear position, and trip meter.

The company has given a split trellis tubular frame in the RC 200, which makes it light and strong. It comes with a bolt-on subframe. The front suspension has a 43mm upside-down fork of WP APEX, and the rear has a WP APEX monoshock, which can be adjusted up to 10 steps. This gives the bike good balance even on sharp turns or bad roads.

For braking, KTM has given a powerful setup. There is a 320 mm disc brake in the front, which has a radially mounted caliper. And there is a 230 mm disc brake in the rear, which has a floating caliper. For safety, it also has dual-channel ABS, and the special thing is that it also has a Supermoto mode. You can turn off ABS for the rear wheel. This is very useful for stunt or track use enthusiasts.

The RC 200 has a 13.7-liter fuel tank, which will make it easier for you to cover long distances. The seat height of the bike is 835mm, which is manageable even for mid-height riders. Its curb weight is 160 kg, which makes the bike feel light and agile in handling.
