KTM RC 390 (2016-2022) Seat User Reviews

I have been using RC390 2018 model from last 8 months. During this period, I have done two long rides i.e. 1- Chikmangluru trip from Hyd (2000 km) in 3days2- Bhubaneswar from Hyd (1100 km) in 17hrsI mentioned above trips because it would help in understanding mileage and comfort.Talking about the mileage: in Hyd during city rides I use to get 19 or 20 kmpl.But in long rides:Avg Speed > 110 kmph : 30 - 33 kmplAvg speed 80 - 100 kmph : 33 - 35 kmplAvg speed 70 - 80 kmph : 37 kmpl approxI have not ridden below 70 avg 😅And coming to comfort, the seat is very hard, so I felt like it is burning after 350 Kms. The shocks are stiff so if the road is not buttery smooth it will be too hectic. After my trip to Bhubaneswar, wrist and neck pain lasted around 10days. I felt Wrist pain can be avoided using cushioned gloves And neck/back pain can be avoiding by using saddle bags.Overall the bike demands a fit guy to cover such distance using a RC, I am saying it as my friends were not able to ride this for more than 30minutes even, where as I was able to cover such distance. Coming to performance, I am very happy with its power delivery. I feel continuous acceleration till 160 kmph. 320mm front disc give good bite. And the last one is the tyres. They are damn good. Whether it is a dry or wet road it does not matter too much. Whether it’s a long stretch or curvy road in hilly areas I was confident throughout my rides due to the tyres and brakes.I see it is a fair deal by KTM. I mean the sharp design, performance etc everything is top notch.Note: this is my personal opinion based on my experience so far. Someone else’s review might vary.

this bike is bang for buck in 300cc with its performance and features a ride by wire and slipper clutch and brakes and abs system it's a win but lot of us Indians love touring and this bike is not meant for it I'm pretty sure most of us bought this bike for its looks and performance as I am one of them but got disappointed at the touring aspect of this bike. but hey the idea was to make a mini supe rsport so that contoured seat and stiff suspension is best for racing. I suggest you not to buy this bike if your going for touring purpose it ain't worth it man if you still want fully faired go for a sports tourer like the ninja 300 R3 or rr310

The seating position of this bike is really very aggressive and the braking system of this bike is great. It comes with the traction control so traction control take care to the corners and the suspension of this bike is literally very comfortable and very impressive and it gives the comfort in the level of avengers. It is a powerful bike so it gives around 25 kmpl of mileage and if you are a beginner and want a powerful bike than this bike is perfect because it is also comfortable.

The fully faired middle weight sports bike gets a host of features including a fuel injected engine, new paint scheme, full fairing, orange painted frame, cushioned seat, engine cowl, led tail lamp. I do ride occasionally or maybe daily commute or rarely After u know that you will have to take your time on understanding a bike you should learn on a smaller capacity bike and move on to bigger... Also just like a coin have 2 sides these bikes have pros and cons that depends on u best of luck ! cheers.
