The rival-in-chief for both the KTM RC 125 as well as the RC 200 is the recently-launched Yamaha R15 V4.0, which undercuts both bikes, with prices starting at Rs 1.68 lakh. The KTM RC 125’s single-cylinder, 124.7 cc unit puts out 15 hp and 12 Nm of torque, while the RC 200’s 199.5 cc single-cylinder engine makes 26 hp and 19.5 Nm of torque figures that are almost identical to those of the outgoing bikes.
With optimisations made to the airbox and radiator, KTM claims the RC 125 and RC 200 also offer punchier performance than before. Little is known about the unexpected new machine beyond what is shown in a teaser video published to its social media accounts, other than the fact this will be a track-only model limited to 100 units. Thanks to the weight savings, the 2022 KTM RC 125 weighs in at 150 kg while the 2022 KTM RC 200 weighs in at 151 kg (dry). KTM has teased it will launch a brand-new sportsbike based on its Moto2 racer later this month. Other vital changes include a new WP Apex fork, a larger airbox, lighter alloy wheels, lightened brakes (320 mm front disc brake and 230 mm rear disc brake with ‘Supermoto’ dual-channel ABS on both bikes), a curved radiator, stiffer front axle, a laser-textured wind screen and an aluminium pillion grab handle.

Both the 2022 KTM RC 125 and RC 200 feature new headlights and Supermoto ABS.
