För några veckor sedan kunde vi presentera en av världens första provkörningar av nya KTM 1290 Super Duke R, och tidigare har du redan kunnat se och läsa en del om KTM:s nyheter RC125, RC200 och RC390 som officiellt presenterades på EICMA under tisdagen.

RC125, RC200 och RC390 är alla baserade på samma motor, och följer i "däckspåren" från deras syskonmodeller 125/200 och 390 Duke.

Med en helt ny ram, ny chassigeometri och en racingorienterad design representerar RC125, RC200 och RC390 en prisvärd produktionsversion av Moto3-VM-cykeln.

RC125

RC125 uppges erbjuda 15 hästkrafter och 12 Newtonmeter vridmoment på topp och lär ha en körklart vikt på 135 kilogram, visserligen då den 10 liter stora bensintanken är tom. Såväl fram som bak finner vi WP-fjädring (USD-framgaffel). Fram finner vi ett fyrkolvsok medan ett enkolvsok hejdar bak tillsammans med ABS.

KTM RC200

I

det här fallet uppges den encylindriga motorn producera 25 hästkrafter på topp. Även här finner vi ABS-assisterade fyrkolvsok fram och enkolvsok bak samt WP-fjädring fram och bak, med en upp-och-ner-vänd framgaffeln. Vikten uppges till 137,5 kilogram.

KTM RC390

Här erbjuder motorn 43 hästkrafter på topp och vågen stoppar på 147 kilogram. Liksom sina syskonmodeller är modellen med WP-fjädring fram och bak, där USD-framgaffeln är pricken över i. ABS är standard liksom fyrkolvsok fram och enkolvsok bak.

Mer fakta för KTM RC390 2014:

TELESCOPIC FORK
The KTM RC 390 high-quality upside-down fork from WP Suspension has the same 43 mm outer tube diameter as the RC8 R – in other words, real racing equipment that guarantees highest levels of stability and precision.

FRAME
Visually similar to the lightweight and approved Duke steel trellis frame, the orange painted frame has been modified to better fit the supersport ergonomics and dynamics. The increase of the steering head angle to 66,5 degrees results in a shorter trail, shorter wheelbase and increased ground clearance. All these modifications release the complete racing potential of the RC and guarantee quick, agile and playful handling.

INSTRUMENT
The 100% digital LCD display has everything you could expect from a state of the art KTM motorcycle, including engaged gear, fuel gauge and service reminder information. Just like supersport racing machines an RPM alert indicates when is the best moment for shifting up.

SWING ARM
The light alloy swingarm with directly linked WP shock absorber excels by providing extreme torsional stiffness and outstanding tracking stability.

WIND SHIELD
The advanced design wind shield in combination with the aerodynamic optimized motorcycle front ensure incredible wind protection for rider's chest and arms.

SEAT
The two-part seat offers first class supersport ergonomics with perfect support for rider and pillion. With a seat height of 820mm it enables the rider to have a secure stance whilst also being high enough for sporty use and real big-bike feeling.

FUEL TANK
A brand new steel fuel tank with 9,5l capacity (including 1,5l reserve) has been developed for the RC, perfectly matching the supersport style and vehicle design, together with rider ergonomics. Thanks to the economic engine the RC achieves impressive efficiency even when ridden hard for a considerable distance.

HANDLE BAR
Brand new clip on handlebars and switches contribe to a sporty and aggressive riding position combined with advanced control.

WHEELS
Equally lightweight as stable, the 17in orange painted cast light alloy wheels are fitted with grippy Metzeler tyres - 110 mm wide at the front and an impressive 150 mm at the rear. The tyres impress with tremendous grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability.

STANDARD ABS
ABS is equipped as standard on every RC 390, ensuring maximum safe on any road condition. When taking the RC to the racetrack ABS is of course disengageable.

SILENCER
The compact underbelly, three-chamber silencer is positioned close to the bike's overall centre of gravity. This aids the centralisation of mass and prevents accidental contact with the rider's and passenger's legs.

A2 LICENSE
With a power/weight ratio of 0.2kW/kg RC390 is right at the limit of the new A2 driver´s license, making the new KTM RC390 the sportiest option for A2 riders.

THIN TAIL
Fitting perfectly into the pure racing look the number plate holder rounds KTM's high performance bike off.

BODYWORK
The brand new bodywork, footrests and pedals not only provide a unique supersport look but also help the RC to master extreme cornering by allowing a greater leaning angle.

INTEGRATED BLINKERS
As a special feature the RC incorporates blinkers into mirrors structure, which not just looks very sporty but also contributes to the perfect aerodynamics.

HEADLIGHT
Brand new twin headlight opens a new direction for KTM style and perfectly matches with the racing supersport look of the RC.

ENGINE
The state-of-the-art, liquid cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke 375ccm engine with twin overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic fuel injection, already equipped in the Duke 390 provides outstanding power and thanks to the balancer shaft, delivers the highest level of smoothness. Because of the KTM-typical compact design with stacked transmission shafts the engine has an unbelievable low weight of 36kg. Combine that with technical details like a forged piston, Nikasil-cylinder-coating and forced feed lubrication with power-promoting body-evacuation and you get an engine which provides a remarkable 44hp. The engine is equipped with an electric starter powered by a 12V/6Ah battery.

TRIPLE CLAMPS
The brand new forged aluminum triple clamps are eye-catchers and together with the clip on handlebars guarantee a pure supersport racing feeling.

PILLION RIDE SEAT
In order to make no compromises in terms of supersport look the KTM engineers integrated the pillion seat into the bodywork lines so that it looks like a real racing bike tail, but ensuring excellent comfort for the passenger.

BRAKES
KTM developed in cooperation with Brembo a powerful and easy to control brake-system which allows the rider to be always in control of the RC. A four piston radially bolted caliper in combination with a single brake disk (300mm diameter) in the front and a single piston floating caliper with a single brake disk (230mm diameter) for the rear wheel guarantee excellent braking response even under the most extreme conditions.
