2021 KTM RC 200 review - RC what KTM did there | First Ride | Autocar India 

The Old RC's design was more aggressive and eye-catching than this one

Am I the only one who loves the new look too?

I think the new headlamp makes it more apparent that this is just a Duke with a fairing clipped on. In my opinion the older headlamp design did give the RC range some individuality of its own.

No matter what others say ktm genuinely did major improvements although the older ktm rc 200 was aggressive while the new one some might hate it I feel looks dashing and bulky and the rear seating comfort adds to its charm Well Done ktm ❤️

Any fans of old design

0.46 The older design looks so much better.

Honestly, I don't like this design previous one was better

I still like the aggressive look of the old RC series.

R15 sales will go brrrr.. front end looks absolutely disgusting on the rc.. I prefer the older look which was more striking and it was waay sharper

The Front design was better in older versions. Disappointed with the front of the 2021 version.

New Still looks Good to me, for now as I have seen for quite a time

looks like Bajaj NS 200 graphic team designed it. 🤣🤣

Damn this looks like a tiny, toy bike with Rishaad standing next to it. 🤣

No definitely not better looking than the old one

R15 is improving but… rc series are getting dumbfounded

Atleast the alloys should've been better designed. If Yamaha can bring R1 style to it's R15, the RC should've got styling updates from the RC16.

The front looks more bulky and slightly better. I was not a fan of the RCs earlier front 'beak' look. Lots of good subtle changes.

The pillion seat looks so much comfortable than the previous one... ❤️

In real its totally different 😍

Honestly this feels better.. Looks like a tamed down version of the RC8!

This design is eventually growing in my mind. I guess they tried to setup MotoGP design aspect Yes, we do miss the old RC touch though but I feel the improved dynamics overall.

I still didn't like the front look despite seeing it in front of me. I think if you're someone who goes for performance and don't care much about the looks which is subjected and depends on personal taste then this would be a better choice to buy. I was expecting KTM would make the RC even more angrier and sharper but they totally pull a stunt by not doing that.

Front fairing is designed by bajaj😂😂

The rear looks great....but the front look of the RC 200 is subjective....

Bajaj rs 200 & ns 200 needs a strong cosmetic update

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="345">5:45</a> that’s how any typical we check the suspension 😜

In the photos the front looked really bad... But in reality it is looking good in comparison 😉

Old one is good ❤️

One question to KTM , cornering ABS on this but not on 250 duke ( console needs to be updated on 250 duke )or 250 ADV (LED headlights missing here also ) .

I just now rode along the KTM showroom watching my RX-135,5-Speed's reflection in the Glass Panels! I didn't look at the KTM 's.

In 2019 and 20 I was impressed by the design of rc 390 and had a thought in mind to purchase it ..but trust me looking at this model I will only have it if somebody give it to me for freee....not worth at all

The way they redesign the headlamp is for cost cutting fo sure. The older RC still got the looks but changes on the other end is quite subtle.

Old is Gold 🙃

Me smiling through watching the whole video of new version R15 and here I'm just thinking, ayyyy what a disaster 😳 Front, side fairing, pillion seat...seems like they've added different parts and panels from different bikes. Why this bike doesn't have a single flow design like V4 or Old RC?? I think HERO designers designed this bike.

morning with Ktm and AutoCAR 🔥

Please KTM, Redesign the front! Its not what we wanted.😭

Well the big question by me is can I replace the wheels and brakes of my Dominar with the RC? Can anyone suggest something.

Most people get these bikes for their looks and charm not for racing and outright performance( like RC 125) so bikes like r15m sales will be sky rockated now for sure.... I was thinking to get Rc 200 but now R15 M is the go to choice.

Front headlight looks similar to ktm duke behind the transparent visor. KTM played smart on production cost cutting too 😜👍🏻

This bike will definitely grow on us by going time for sure.....!!!

I prefer and love the old model to this😫😫

Are they still using that same engine layout for circulating coolant around the engine?

Looks Gorgeous....nice review by Rishaad 👍👍

Finally autocar motorcycle review without rain pouring

I love this new one due to seats which were horrible before now family will agree to buy it for me😂

I think that you should also specify that about New exhaust system Of every bike and review of its Exhaust Sound that will make some Idea 💡 About Exhaust

Missing those angel eyes

Super exited for this review..

Looks more premium and better and not like aftermarket customised bike like previous one

I know I'm nitpicking but some segments of the video have totally washed out colors where as some of them have good punchy colors. I've noticed this in some past videos as well but the Orange color of KTM makes the difference more noticeable.

Nacked version of this one ...will come.soon ??any guess ??

To be honest i rather have a black wheel rim instead of the orange as it looks much better as the motorcycle aged

Old is gold ❤️

Does it have assist and slipper clucht? And quick shifter?

What's the height of the anchor? This bike looks miniature infront of him!

Well summed up Rishad!👍

Old is gold 🙂 ❤️❤️🔥

Bruh the looks have massively improved lmfao

Your reviews are better 👍Some RU-vid reviewers have no idea what they are talking about.

Same stupid back light , morever the front looks dope❤️

Old is gold

Badly waiting for d new rc 390 n its face off with d new rr310. Need a detailed comparison video of dese 2

The front section is either a hit or miss. Would differ from person to person!

Old one was more aggressive in terms of look ! And color combination was better in old one

Let me tell you ! This is hell improved bike than the outgoing one in the frame department.

I was also planing for rc 200 But now purchased r15m I was big fan of that old rc Massssy look but new.............

Is handle bar height and pillion seat height changed

I am owner of the older sharper RC200 and also Yamaha R15 V2 and being a fan of sportsbikes am trying to get myself to like this new model but it's kinda hard... My height : 174cms (5 ft 9inch) My weight : 63_65 kgs I possess the exact average physique of a MotoGP rider so the agressive riding positions of any sportsbikes feels natural to me so i have no problems with my KTM RC200 ergonomics. 1.The HID projector headlights of the older spec model is the best in class and lights up the road, don't know how well this model can match up. 2. Absolutely love the front visor and sharp nose fairing of the older model, the new model seems to offer more aerodynamic drag resistance but that wouldn't be of much use in a 200cc engine, would make more scene if they had given this design to the RC390 alone where 150+kmph speeds can be comfortably reached and wind protection is a necessity. 3. My older model RC200 has a 9.5 l tank capacity but i never ride with more than 4 litres in the tank in city cause the weight is pretty prominent on a full tank of fuel due to the battery also placed right on top of the fuel tank so personally I don't see the need for bigger 13.7 fuel tank in a sportsbike, makes sense on tourers, cruisers, adventure bikes. 4. The new lighter rims are one of positives of the new model, it will definitely improve unsprung mass, but owners of older RC model can just get the rims alone than upgrade to the new bike complete. 5.The new tail and rear seat are very good but the old design of the intergreted seat and holders is an absolute masterpiece. 6.The new instrument cluster is definitely an upgrade from the outdated display on the older spec model, but personally the display is the least of my preferences when I'm riding, i need sharp handling performance rather than a smartphone display. Overall it's okay, it's definitely nice can't say it's bad but personally will stick to the older spec and will wait for the new RC390 to show up, with it's adjustable suspension and other perks in the international market let's see what the Indian model gets.

looks like the duke and RC got a baby

Love it it's ever this is better in terms of look also😍

My dream bike is here other ktm is not so good but tis is awesome.... Want to buy tis

Everything is fine. But there is just one thing that it badly needs. It's exposed under belly parts doesn't look so good. There should be a covering like old bs3 & bs4 RCs.

Bro is this good for touring

The Last point makes me thinking after 7 yrs is this the update we r looking for?

She is just way too beautiful ❤️

I have a question.... Will theey stop old rc publishing

Old bs6 Rc 390 vs RR 310 best looking Bike kon se he

Bajaj staring at us right in the face. 😂🤣

the old design is love

Why KTM is not giving us RC 250 , the 250 cc engine of KTM are the best , enough power for fast pace , smooth enough to tour on

Front is blunt Old gen looks more sharper and aggressive ..

I'm happy with my RC390 2018

How come your intro music was half cut?

Ok the black and orange one looks much better than the other colour option

Rishad..you can openly say about the design 🤣🤣..when you put the old RC with the new one.. everybody have known that which looks better!

Why every vlogger is saying 1.1 kg lighter on wheels actually it's 1.7 kg lighter per wheel atleast what they mentioned in their official launch video of ktm rc range

I absolutely hate that lamp The older one has more "ready to race" look

The new one is an solid upgrade in every sense

Old is gold 2020

Going to buy duke 250 2nd hand . Mods to it : Rc200 alloy wheels which are lighter. Also replace the disc because old will not fit . Replace to new information meter if its plug and play . Replace the tyres with Road 5 in both end . Replace the master cylinder and brake pad. Replace rare sprocket ⚙️ with 2 or 4 more teeth i am more of a tourer with love for twistiest. Replace seat with hard cushion.

It,s time to do some extra aftermarket modifications

But I still love the old generation KTM RC200 . It's sharp, agile, fun to ride.

When we can expect review of ola electric scooter

I like how hidden the exhaust is

How many people canceled to buy this

Oiiie just loved it 😍😍😍 waiting for rc 390 to release in India ASAP

Old is gold 🥇❤️

Why did the design went back 10 yrs ago??
