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?
Shree Pangarkar, via email

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.

41 degrees; that’s a cool day in Chennai.

Tyres take a hammering in just two laps.

Rajini getting suited up to take the RC200 out for a few hot laps of the track.

We often passed under the DJI Inspire 1, used for video footage.

We use more than a dozen cameras in all to bring you the action.

Tyres get 4psi more each for the track.

Checking ‘the lap’ on the V-box software to check if we have all data.

GoPro gets attached to the hood of the Audi R8. You need to get a firm fix, else it can fly off quite easily at upwards of 180kph.

This prototype is based on a 350cc Royal Enfield Electra Twinspark.

Gabriel interacted with traffic police officers to understand their needs before starting work on this prototype.

This is a dual purpose siren and speaker system.

The switches let the rider access the siren or speaker system and the LED lights.

The fire extinguisher has been attached to the right side of the leg guard.

There are additional charging points so that cops can recharge their mobile phones and walkie talkies.

The front fairing houses a night-vision enabled high-definition CCTV camera.

The removable first aid box is positioned under the rider's seat, where the original battery box used to be located.

The rear also gets a night-vision enabled high-definition CCTV camera and LED blinkers.

Traffic cops can issue a challan to offenders on the spot.
