If the current KTM RC 390 doesn’t appeal you, then the upcoming updated version will surely. Many hoped to see a Duke-like change but got disappointed. However, the Austrian bike manufacturer is readying a refreshed model that will certainly soothe your mind. Yes, the 2020 KTM RC 390 is being tested in Europe and the test mule has been already spied.
The current KTM Duke 390 came with a host of updates including new design, features, and technology as well. But, its faired sibling received only ride-by-wire throttle and a belly pan.

It will feature an all-new LED headlamp, a full-colour TFT display, just like the outgoing KTM 390 Duke. There will be a clear visor ahead of the instrument cluster.
