A cornering ABS system considers the bike’s lean angle to make for the safest and most efficient braking while in the twisties. ABS is standard and has a handful of uses integrated into the bike. Now that we know this bike can get up to speed and stay there, KTM has fitted the RC with a 4-piston calliper on a 320mm disc in the front and a single piston, 230mm setup in the rear, to take this bike to a halt. The RC sits with a seat height of 32.4 inches, making it an excellent bike for riders of all heights. Thanks to innovations made by KTM’s racing pedigree, we have no doubt that this bike comes dialled in to perfection and “Ready To Race”. ![]() The RC uses a lightweight Trellis-style frame, paired to an adjustable 43mm upside-down front fork setup and an adjustable rear shock. While the power numbers aren’t too shabby, the RC’S true charm comes out in its extremely refined handling and maneuverability. ![]() This little rocket features a single-cylinder thumper, pushing a claimed 43hp and 27 lb-ft of torque – not life-changing numbers, but with a dry weight of just 342 lbs, this thing has more than enough go for some smiles and/or lap records. This year’s bike doesn’t have any changes, but the mini supersport has received a plethora of updates over the last nine years, and the resulting package is impressive, to say the least. Sitting near the bottom of the 2023 KTM lineup is the RC 390 (and its naked sibling, the Duke 390), but don’t let its little looks fool you, the RC is a force to be reckoned with and has been ever since its debut in 2014.
