Awesome Product by KTM, this time they understand the Indian market very well.
If you are buying this motorcycle directly and have not driven a 390cc before, then this 350cc engine will give you the best performance. All the features are the same. Only the engine has a little less power, but that 4-5 bhp is not noticeable. However, the torque is a little noticeable, but as I said, if you have not driven a 390, you will not be able to understand the difference.

Power rocket
To be honest, I was confused between this and the the Triumph speed 400 but the 390 is just a different vibe. It's got an aggressive look that stands out in the college parking, plus in mumbai u need that instant power to gap vehicles. Nothing in this budget gives you this much performance , power , feel and technology its a beast!!.The acceleration is very unreal , but the enginge gets quite hot when you're stuck at a signal for too long. Suspension is a bit stiff, so you'll feel the mumbai potholes , but on highsway its very stable. Handling is very light yess but keep in mind its not a family bike. its for people who love speed and beginners pls stay away cuz power delivery is very sharppp. Best 400cc . Best for long rides and joyriding. Crazy beast for real

A bike which is only judged by its looks and but not by its power the mighty 39T
A bike with good looks and with a good power with a semi fairing the initial speed is best in the segment and the leading class bike but lack in proper updates made its sales very slow and it caused the marketing a criteria of this bike section is of the leading one and its competitors like rr310 ninja 300 and many other are less powerful and less confidental infront of this machine

Best performance bike in its segment.
Im using RC 390 since the past 8 months I got a better experience while riding the vehicle. It gives a better mileage while comparing to its power and performance. I got around 22 to 27 kmpl mileage. But the riding comfort is not good we can't take it to a long ride. Overall it's a beast in its segment.
