Looks a little more premium than the black colour variant but more subtle than the blue shade

It remains mechanically unchanged
KTM has launched a new colour scheme for the RC 200 in India. It is still priced the same at Rs 2,32,585 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is offered in a single variant. The new colour scheme is called ‘Metallic Grey’ and it complements the two other already existing shades: Black, and Blue. The bike had received a price hike of Rs 4,992 a few days ago. In the new colour scheme, half of the fuel tank is finished in a lighter shade of grey whereas the other half is a bit darker. The lighter shade extends to the fairing as well, with the outer panel finished in orange. It also gets an orange subframe and blacked out alloy wheels. Other than the colour scheme, there are no changes.
More About The KTM RC 200:
The KTM RC 200 is one of the best entry-level supersports in the country and gets an aggressive design with sharp body lines. The design might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it does have a certain appeal to it, especially among the younger buyers.
The bike is powered by an OBD-2B compliant, 199.5cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 25PS and 19.2Nm. It is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Also, the bike comes equipped with a dual-channel ABS, with a supermoto mode too.
BikeDekho Says:
We think that the new colour scheme is a nice middleground when compared to the more subtle black colour variant and the more flashy blue coloured one. But, we wish KTM had also updated the bike with a slipper clutch and perhaps an optional quickshifter in the 2025 model. That would’ve made it a bit more wholesome than before. Also, while its LCD console shows essential information it is quite dated now, and KTM should’ve also updated that as well. For reference, its naked sibling, the Duke 200 gets the updated 5-inch TFT display.
