Slipper clutch helps downshifting smoothly. Heat from liquid cooled engine is noticeable in traffic jams. Good for weekend rides, average for daily work.

Stiff Setup For Rough Roads

Cornering grip on tubeless tyres is solid. Riding over potholes is unpleasant due to firm WP front USD fork suspension tuning on uneven roads.

Average Highway Cruiser

Wind fairing offers good protection against wind blast. Engine gets noisy past 8000 rpm. LCD cluster display is simple but clearly readable under daylight.

Balanced Commuter Bike

KTM RC 160 gives acceptable mileage of 36 kmpl. Trellis frame handling is precise. Seat padding could have been a bit softer for longer highway rides.

Good Bike For Youngsters

Performance of 18.7 bhp motor is punchy for speed lovers. Pillion comfort is very limited. Build quality and LED headlights illumination are good.

Sport Stance Needs Time

Aggressive riding posture requires getting used to initially. Brake bite from 320mm front disc is strong. Overall styling gets decent attention on roads.

Okay Value Sport Machine

Performance is decent for 164.2cc motor. Missing TFT console at this price segment feels like a compromise. Quality of plastics used is decent.

Moderate City Utility

Bike feels light at 155kg kerb weight. Engine power delivery is smooth. Fuel efficiency stays around 34 kmpl in busy city traffic conditions.

Sharp Design Tall Stance

KTM RC 160 looks very sporty in Electronic Orange. Clip on handlebars cause wrist pain in heavy traffic congestion. ABS braking setup is reassuring.

Overpriced For 160cc

On road price crosses 2 Lakhs which feels overpriced for 164cc displacement. No TFT display provided. Riding position causes severe shoulder pain during long commutes.
