The KTM RC 200 is a very good sports bike for learning track basics. Its dedicated riding posture and agile handling make it a very fast bike around the corners. Also, the top-end performance of the engine is delightful. However, the lack of some features, less comfort, and higher price make it less value-for-money in its segment.

Pros & Cons of KTM RC 200

  • Features we admire in this bike

    • Design looks very aggressive & youthful
    • Engine performance is punch-packed
    • Fuel efficiency is delightful if ridden sedately
    • Loaded with latest features
    • Perfect tool for learning track riding basics
  • Features that could have been better

    • Riding posture is very dedicated & uncomfortable for long rides
    • Pricey in comparison to the rivals
    • Suspension is too stiff for bad roads

Should I buy the RC 200?

The KTM RC 200 is a true mini sports bike. The design & outlook of it completely justifies the styling aesthetics of the RC series bikes. Also, its dedicated riding position gives a very commanding & thrilling ride experience. However, it is not a very comfortable bike to use for long rides. Also, the engine is punch-packed but it jitters are low revs. Lastly, it is priced at a premium when compared to its rivals. We suggest the RC 200 to those who want a track ride learning tool & a dedicated sports bike experience at a friendly budget.

Performance, Mileage, & Brakes 9
  • The 199.5-cc liquid-cooled engine of the RC 200 is a pure gem. It is the most powerful in the segment, and the amount of punch it offers is outstanding. The bike does hesitate at the lower revs, but past 3,000 rpm, it transforms into a bigger sports bike. Also, one can easily ride it in higher gears at low speeds without any snatching of the engine. The engine also doesn’t overheat in traffic. But we wish this power delivery was more linear, as the current tuning of the engine is more aggressive for everyday city riding.
  • The engine of the RC 200 is surprisingly fuel-efficient as well. In our tests, we could easily achieve 40+ km/h in moderate city traffic. If ridden sedately, it can deliver even higher fuel economy figures.
  • It can easily cruise at 110–120 kmph on the highway. But after 120 kmph, the engine feels like it is running out of breath. Also, there are minor vibrations in the mid-range, especially between 4,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm.
  • The brakes of the RC 200 are more than adequate. Being a sports bike, the major use of the front disc brake is evident during riding, and it does its job very well. During the case of an emergency stop, one can mix the use of rev-matching & brakes to stop it easily. 
Ride & Handling 8
  • The front suspension of the RC 200 is non-adjustable USD forks, while the rear gets a preload adjustable monoshock setup. KTM has deliberately set up the suspension towards the stiffer side. It is a sports bike, and the need for stiff suspension is a must. We like how the suspension works flawlessly on smooth roads, but on bad roads, it makes the ride very unsettling. We wish the riding position was a bit more relaxed and the suspension was a bit softer at both ends.
  • Thanks to the stiff suspension, the handling of the RC 200 is among the best. It feels very agile, and around the corners, you can easily carry it at higher speeds. The handling of a RC 200 boosts a lot of confidence inside the rider, even on unknown roads. The only con is the low set-up of the clip-on handlebar. It becomes uncomfortable to ride it for long durations.
Design & Comfort 7
  • The design & styling of the RC 200 is inspired by the new RC 390. It uses similar design elements the LED headlight is the same, and the front cowl & fairing is also the same. In fact, the rear design also looks almost the same as the RC 390. It is only the smaller size that differentiates the RC 200 & the RC 390. Also, the colour combo & graphics of the RC 200 are brighter & youthful. Design-wise, it is one of the best bikes in its segment.
  • Comfort is something that you should not prioritize while looking to buy the RC 200. The riding position is very aggressive & dedicated like a true sports bike. Also, the seat has less cushioning and thus riding it for long hours is a tough task. The rear-set front footpegs also lead to early fatigue during long rides.
Features & Safety 8
  • KTM has loaded the RC 200 with a lot of the latest features. It gets Bluetooth connectivity, a TFT console, a multi-info display, call/SMS alerts, etc. Also, the LED lights offer very good illumination during the night. Meanwhile, the 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels and adjustable rear suspension aid in fast performance.
  • For rider safety, KTM also offers dual-channel ABS & SuperMoto ABS (switchable rear ABS) on the RC 200. However, it misses out on the slipper-assist clutch that its rivals offer. Also, the bigger front disc brake helps in stopping the bike easily during emergency stops.

    The second prime rival to the RC 200 is the Bajaj Pulsar RS200. The Pulsar RS200 is essentially a sport-tourer bike. Hence, it offers a more comfortable riding position & a softer suspension compared to the R200. But, the RS200 is now getting old in terms of design & features. The R200 on the other hand has been recently updated with a new design & features. Out of the two, we recommend buying the RC200 due to its latest design & better performance. However, the RC200 is priced at a premium.

    The Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is another indirect rival of the KTM RC 200. While the engine size & power output of Gixxer is more, both bikes are in a similar price range. The Gixxer is a sports-tourer bike with a relaxed riding posture & smoother performance. Also, the Gixxer is more easy to ride due to linear power delivery. The KTM RC 200 is more aggressive & not suitable for long rides while the SF 250 can be used for long-distance touring. Out of the two, we recommend buying the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 for a better riding experience.

    The Yamaha R15 M is the prime rival of the RC 200. While the R15 has a smaller engine, it offers a similar performance at low budget. Also, the R15 has proven to be more reliable in the long term. Additionally, Yamaha offers the R15 M with loads of features that the RC 200 doesn’t get. Meanwhile, the RC 200 has good top-end performance & higher top speed. We suggest buying the R15 M out of the two due to its user-friendly nature & low cost of ownership.
