So, KTM has recently launched two motorcycles, the new 2021 KTM RC 125 & 200. Both the bikes are looking stunning and have wow power and torque delivery but I will talk about only RC 200 in this blog post.

It have all those things which a bike of this price should have but bluetooth connectivity is still missing and that features nowadays is not a big deal, it could have been better if phone connectivity should be there.
The fuel efficiency of this bike is nit yet revealed by the maker but the fuel tank capacity is 13.7L which is pretty good. I'm wondering that they(brand) can't increase the size of the tank to fit 0.3L.
The best thing is that it comes with dual channel ABS. Runs on 110/70 17 tyre at front with 320mm of disc and at rear it get 150/60 17 along with 230mm of disc brake.

Front, the major change KTM has made is at the front, now it won't have those old two small rounded headlamps, leaving that design behind KTM adopted the normal simple looking headlamp and in my opinion the old one were more stylish this one is kinda simple. On the both sides of the headlight it get DRLs which also works as blinkers. It comes with a clear visor to tackle wind blast but you have to dug for that. RVMs are nicely finished and really like the design of the mirrors. 110 front tyre section giving great look and grip as well.

Side, the real sporty lines shines the most from side. The graphics are enhancing the appearance of the bike, being a sports bike fairing is covering some portion of the bike, engine is still visible which is a scene in its own. The orange chassis is coming out as predecessor no change on that.
Ground clearance is not that great on very harsh conditions you have to care, seat height is very high might create some problems to short riders and there is no space for pillion, grab rails are not there although KTM has give space beneath the seat to hold but that's super uncomfortable. Get mono shock suspension at for rear and rim of the wheels are orange in colour. The fuel tank get dual tone finish.

Rear, from back side it got a sharp tail that compliments the whole momentum of design bike has created. The tail light is also looking fabulous, won't get any tyre hugger and rear tyre profile is going with the personality.
Instrument cluster, KTM is giving one of the best cluster, full TFT colourful display which has bunch of things to show which cool graphics and animation and colours as well. One thing which I'm missing is bluetooth connectivity.
At the end, this is a bike for speed lovers and college dudes. Great looks, awesome power and dual channel ABS make it more mature. I hate the new headlight, it won't have any character but the good thing is that LED stuffed in.
Let it roar, let it lean, let it vanish let it be new 2021 KTM RC 200............
