KTM India has introduced two new colour options for the RC 160. The new colours join the existing Black option and are available at the same price as before.
- Gets two new colours: Electronic Orange Matte and Ceramic White Matte
- Bike remains mechanically unchanged
- 164.2cc single makes 19hp and 15.5Nm
KTM RC 160 new colours
The RC 160 was launched earlier this year
The Electronic Orange Matte features a bright shade of orange, typical of KTM, as the base colour, paired with all-black graphics and blacked-out alloy wheels. The Ceramic White Matte, on the other hand, uses white as the base colour, along with black and orange graphics. This variant also gets orange-finished alloy wheels, giving it a more distinctive look.
Mechanically, the entry-level RC remains unchanged, powered by a 164.2cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 19hp and 15.5Nm.
The RC 160 gets all-LED lighting, including the headlamp, tail-lamp and indicators, along with an LCD instrument cluster. The 160 Duke was recently updated with a TFT screen, but that has not yet been announced as an option for the RC.
At Rs 1.85 lakh, the RC 160 is Rs 15,000 more expensive than the 160 Duke and nearly Rs 19,000 pricier than the Yamaha R15 (Rs 1.66 lakh), its most direct rival.
