Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
Had a 300 kms ride on the RC yesterday in the rains with a kilometer or so of offroading. The metz are bliss in the rains and so is the frame. Was doing 110-120 in strong rains and head on winds. Bike stuck to its line, felt great good grip on the tires and stopping power was good with the combo of abs and metz.
These tires or bike are not meant for offroads. Navigated a km stretch of slush and mud and the metz had no grip. The huge power that is sent down to the wheels also is a big problem making the wheel spin multiple times of you do twist the throttle! The foot pegs are not wide enough for you to stand on.
Bigger section tires with a higher profile and some crazy treads are needed for offroads.
But am glad with the metz performance in the wet.. At 4K on the odo, the engine keeps getting better and better.
