Rumors that a model is being prepared in the rapidly growing category of sports 250 cc from KTM existed since the release of the list of motorcycles that would enter the US market for 2013.
There, when you arrived at the KTM models you found gia to 2014 one with 250 cubic and road motorcycle features. So given the presence of the company's racing motorcycle for Moto3, a "mild" variant of it for road use was the obvious answer.
The information is coming to be confirmed by the Indian side now, with the news that the production of the motorcycle starts there 2013 with a view to launching it for 2014.
However, although production is confirmed, The same is not true of the origin of the "KTM RC25" genes. It will not be a relative of the racing Moto3, not a shaped Duke but a scaled motorcycle, with obvious affinity for KTM 1190 RC8 R.
KTM's naming tactics are being reformed to make it clearer from the beginning what it's all about. The direct competitors, the Honda CBR250R, Kawasaki Ninja 250R / 300 and the upcoming Yamaha 250cc mention the whole displacement and not just a code name.
As it will be a model aimed at markets around the world - not just India- there will be several variations of it. Both in terms of the degree of "clothing", but also in terms of displacement, as he did with the Duke. They started as 125, later came out as 200 and Duke is expected by summer 390.
The new KTM RC25 will be produced in Chakan, Bajaj factory near Pune city, India. This will keep the construction cost low in order to become competitive with the securitized- Japanese opponents, in European markets and B.. Of America.
Rumors complicate the issue of engine form, as there are references to each layout. From single cylinder (the most prevalent) up to two cylinders in V arrangement but also in series. The performance will reach them 30 horses in the version of 250 κεκ. and will surpass them 45 in the later version of 390 κ.εκ.
In any case, KTM aims only at the top of the class as the RC25 will be the first motorcycle with full fairing in the small class in the history of the Austrian factory. Redeeming the sweeping course of KTM in the World Championship and Moto3.
