Bellevision Media Network

Mangalore, 12 Oct 2014: Termed as the best bike stunt team of the country Throttlerz’ performed KTM stunt show at Milagres School ground, here on Saturday October 11.

 
As the entry was free, the stunt lovers had their entry in large numbers which really encouraged the riders to increase their performance levels.

 
The stunts were performed by riders on new KTM 390 Duke and KTM 200 Dukes.

 
The Wheelies’ and the Stoppy’s really raised the eyebrows while the 360 and the other stunts created a whole new environment for the present.

 

 
The KTM RC 390 was officially unveiled at Milagres School ground here.

 
Arjun Rao, managing director of Supreme Auto Dealers and Sudarshan Bhat, DGM-sales and marketing, were present during the event.

 
The event was organized by Vision Event Management and Mangalore KTM Team.

 
Prakar Muktibodh, area manager KTM, Supreme Auto Dealers chief Aroor Sanjay Rao, Shaikh Dawood of Vision Event Management among others wase present on the occasion.

 
The RC’s engine is exactly that from the DUKE; the block, gearing, exhaust, cooling system – all the same.  It has 44hp and 35Nm of torque. But a sports bike needs a chassis to match its intentions and that’s what KTM gave it.

 
Sure, the RC’s orange steel tubular trellis frame looks just the same as the DUKE’s orange steel tubular trellis frame, but the sports bike gets a steeper steering angle, reduced trail and shorter wheelbase. The weight bias of the bike – with and without the rider – also places more emphasis on the front end, compared with its counterpart, helped with the wide-set clip-ons.

 
The WP Suspension front and back is also altered; with 25mm reduced travel on the front matched to firmer damping and springs both ends. Despite the compact chassis, ground clearance has been increased – perfect when slamming the RC on the side of those fat tyres, mounted on familiar orange cast wheels.
