KTM RC 160 New Colours 2026 – Launched in Electronic Orange Matte and Ceramic White Matte

KTM RC 160 – The game of colors in the sports bike segment also sometimes plays a roll as big as power. And with this in mind, KTM has introduced its entry-level fully-fired machine RC 160 in the new avatar. This time the engine or features did not change, but two new great color options have given the bike’s personality a completely new touch. So let’s know its details.

New color options

KTM India has updated the color palette of RC 160. The company has launched two new shades Electronic Orange Matte and Ceramic White Matte.

The Electronic Orange Matte has previously been seen in the RC 200 and 390, so this shed is not new to KTM fans but is extremely popular. This color gives the bike a racing DNA feel.

At the same time Ceramic White Matte is a fresh shed. Black and orange graphics with white base give it a bold and aggressive look. This color draws attention from a distance while walking on the road.

The best thing is no change in price. RC 160 is still available for Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom). That is, a new look, without additional burden.

Design

RC 160 is KTM’s entry-level sports bike, but has exactly the same design as its older brothers RC 200 and RC 390. At first glance no one would say that it is just a 160cc bike.

Its large and sharp front facia, muscular side fairings and upswept tail sections give it the look of a full-fledged supersport. Full LED lighting gives the bike a modern touch, while clip-on handlebars make riding more sporty.

Trellis Frame and Suspension

Let me tell you that the RC 160 is built on a trellis frame, which has become the hallmark of KTM. This frame makes the bike both strong and light.

The same is given 37mm inverted forks in its front and monoshock suspension on the back. The advantage is that the bike remains more stable during cornering. The city traffic or high speed on the highway, control seems reliable.

Technology and Features

RC 160 does not disappoint in terms of technology. It offers Supermoto mode with dual-channel ABS, allowing rear ABS to be controlled. This is a fun feature for riders who like a little adventure or track-style riding.

Assist and Slipper Clutch smooths gear shifting and prevents wheel lock during sudden downshift. TA variants also provide navigation support, which is very useful in everyday riding.

Engine
