KTM RC 390R Homologated Limited Edition

.  

KTM have announced the RC 390R – a homologated, limited edition, that’s just a race kit away from Supersport 300 competition. Limited to just 500 units worldwide, the RC 390R has had a multitude of hardware upgrades to make it more suitable for track use.

The RC 390R will be coming from the factory equipped with a collection of hardware upgrades. These include fully adjustable WP front and rear suspension, CNC machined foldable clutch and brake levers, a specially tuned power-plant, an all-new graphics kit, and new handlebars that allow for an even more aggressive riding position. The new RC 390R carries a MSRP of $10,500 (or 8,500 euros).

In addition to the new bike itself, KTM is also releasing just 50 SSP300 kits to take the RC-R’s performance to the next level. The 390R and the aforementioned kit are both race-legal in the SSP 300 FIM class. The limited edition kits consist of 230 individual parts designed to make the RC 390R a bona fide SSP300 contender.

The 50 kits each include full titanium Akrapovic SSP300EVO02 exhaust system, full race ECU, STM slipper clutch, quick-shifter, wiring harness, an extra set of wheels, an advanced FEBUR cooling system, full bodywork made from unspecified lightweight materials, and a multiple different gearing options. The pro-grade, out-of-the-box racer  race kit will cost $13,675 (or 11,000 euros), and that’s on top of the bike’s five-figure price tag.

Unfortunately, the new kit is only compatible on the new R-spec 390 and can’t be fitted to older RC 390 models.
