KTM has now also equipped the RC 390 with two-way 10mm height adjustable clip-on bars, and has also stated that they have improved the ergonomics of the bike, especially in the knee area to allow for more fluid rider movement.

Powered by the same 373cc liquid-cooled single cylinder engine developing 43.5PS and 37Nm, the updated bike gets a 40% bigger airbox, with a new exhaust which claims to help improve torque delivery. The new RC 390 also gets revised engine mapping. The power and torque figures remain the same as the outgoing model, and so does the slipper clutch.
