Premium TFT Display Now Standard
For the first time, the RC 200 gets a full-colour 5-inch TFT display, replacing the basic LCD unit from the earlier model. This digital upgrade aligns the RC 200 with more advanced offerings in KTM'S lineup, including the Duke series.
The new screen is crafted with bonded glass to reduce glare and improve durability, making it scratch-resistant and better suited for real-world riding conditions. Information is displayed with crisp clarity, with vibrant colours enhancing visibility during day and night rides alike.
Smarter Controls with New Switchgear
To complement the digital dashboard, KTM has introduced a new four-way navigation switch mounted on the handlebar. This intuitive control module, often referred to as the "switch cube" makes it easier for riders to navigate through different menus, access phone functions, and toggle settings - all while keeping their attention on the road.
The layout is user-friendly, with tactile buttons that respond well even with gloved hands. It's a clear signal that KTM wants the RC 200 to feel more engaging and upmarket without altering its core identity as a focused entry-level supersport machine.
Bluetooth-Enabled Convenience
Through KTM's official app, the TFT unit now offers Bluetooth connectivity, unlocking features like call alerts, music controls, and turn-by-turn navigation directly on the dash. While earlier models required aftermarket solutions for smartphone integration, this 2025 update brings everything built-in - an important move in a segment where connected tech is becoming increasingly relevant.
Competitive Edge Strengthened
With these upgrades, the RC 200 now holds its ground more firmly against feature-rich competitors. For instance, the Yamaha R15 V4 only offers a colour TFT screen in its top-end M trim, while the Hero Karizma XMR boasts extensive digital capabilities. KTM, by equipping the RC 200 with similar tech at a competitive price, ensures it doesn't fall behind in the tech race.
Notably, bikes like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200 still rely on traditional LCD displays, making the RC 200's TFT an instant standout.
Engine and Hardware
Despite the tech overhaul, KTM has retained the same 199.5cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 25 PS of power and 19.2 Nm of torque. The 6-speed transmission remains untouched, which is good news for purists who love the RC's sharp power delivery and aggressive riding dynamics.
The chassis, suspension, and braking setup also carry forward, meaning the RC 200 retains its sharp handling and race-bred feel. It's still very much a track-inspired bike at heart - just smarter now.
Price and Variants
The updated KTM RC 200 is now priced at Rs. 2.54 lakh (ex-showroom). Buyers can choose from three striking shades: Black, Blue, and the newly introduced Metallic Grey. Despite the tech enhancements, KTM has managed to keep pricing consistent across all variants, further sweetening the deal.

Verdict

For those seeking a blend of performance, style, and modern connectivity - without moving into a higher displacement bracket - the RC 200 just became a much more compelling option.
