Planning to purchase a KTM RC390

The KTM RC 390 has caught my attention and I am planning to purchase the naked streetbike. I recently learnt that KTM plans to aid the RC 390’s clutch with a safer slipper clutch system. Is this true? If so, when will this retail in India?

AAA Yes, the slipper clutch feature will make its way onto the KTM RC 390, although this could take a while. While there isn’t clarity on exactly when this will happen, you could say earliest by mid-2015, although this could be delayed until later as well.
