The previous dual-beam headlamps have been replaced with a larger RC8 inspired single-beam LED headlamp. The fairing integrated LED turn indicators add more appeal to the bike. As the bikemaker has unveiled the new RC 390, it comes with sharper and more sculpted looking fairing increasing the sportiness.

The bikemaker claims the KTM RC 390 will offer a light, adjustable handlebar made of aluminium with adjustable clutch and brake levers.

The instrument cluster receives a new TFT display replacing the current one. It also gets a taller handlebar, updated seat. The riding ergonomics of this new generation RC 390 has been improved. Expect the suspension set up too to be updated for improved riding experience.
