KTM RC 160

KTM RC 160 Overview

The RC 160 pairs a sport-bike format with useful information for everyday rides and longer trips. Its 5-inch LCD includes Bluetooth, turn-by-turn navigation and distance-to-empty, while the six-speed gearbox is matched to an assist-and-slipper clutch. Dual-channel ABS works on both disc brakes, helping prevent either wheel from locking during hard braking. The split seat has pillion footrests and a grab rail, but its 830 mm height may be a stretch for shorter riders.

At 155 kg, it is 6 kg lighter than the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. Its 18.73 bhp is below that Suzuki’s 26.13 bhp, so buyers prioritising power have a stronger figure to consider there. The RC 160’s seat is 20 mm taller than the Hero Karizma XMR’s, and it is priced above the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200. Its braking equipment and connected display are useful strengths to weigh against those trade-offs.

• Dual-channel ABS helps prevent either wheel from locking during hard braking.
• The 5-inch LCD brings navigation, Bluetooth alerts and distance-to-empty information together.

Best for: It suits riders seeking a sport-focused bike with dual-channel ABS and connected display features who are comfortable with its tall seat.
