KTM RC 200 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 200cc single producing 24.6 bhp and 19.2 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 160 kg the power-to-weight figure is 154 bhp per tonne, which ranks 28 of 73 in its class here.
Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.

Dimensions in practice
The RC 200 weighs 160 kg with fluids, has an 835 mm seat, 158 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1341 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 13.7 litres, good for about 473 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 110/70-17 front and 150/60-17 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Equipment against R2, Pulsar RS 200 and Apache RR 310
What it lacks: traction control, usd front forks, slipper clutch and projector headlamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 4 colours: GP Edition, Metallic Grey, Black and Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
