I’m Anton Bezshlyaga and this is KTM RC 390 review
RC 390 - is a sport bike, which is perfect for moto racing
It allows to train all skills for beginners and to keep in shape for professionals
You can train and progress with minimal risks for relatively little money
For compact tracks with many sharp turns this bike is much better than 600cc or 1000cc
The pilot gets tired slower and can train much longer
It is possible to use throttle aggressively and learn principles of cornering faster
Pilot has to switch gears and use clutch
The bike is much more cheaper to maintain
RC 390 is the most powerful in the class
Engine provides 44hp and the bike weighs 147kg
Base and controls are adapted for sport position
Bike is well adjusted and balanced
Here is good brakes by Bybre, Bybre is a part of Brembo group
The bike is equipped with ABS, it’s very useful for street riding
Inverted fork and shock WP have no adjustments, but they are tuned well for track racing
OEM Metzeler tire warms up quickly and has good grip
Clip-on and controls are comfortable with all necessary functionality
Dash board has shift light, which helps pilot to switch gear in time
RC 390 is good for track racing in OEM option, without any modifications
We installed only racing fairing on our bikes, because of the competition rules
Also, I installed adjustable rear sets to simulate position, which I used to, when I was a profession pilot
You can learn and train all skills and have good results without spending extra money on RC 390
Our moto school is based on «Leader» track
Leader has many interesting and complicated turns, so it’s good for training
KTM RC 390 is perfect for such tracks
600cc or 1000cc are much more heavier and don’t allow to train gear shifting
Also, because of the big weigh, 600cc and 1000cc level errors of control
This was a review of KTM RC390
