Braking & Handling:
RC 200 handles even better than Duke 200 it’s based on. Better steering angle, sharper rakes ensure you are always in control. Lower clip on transmit everything that is going on at front wheel & allow you attack corners with a zeal. Due to the aggressive sitting stance however, it is difficult to ride long on RC 200. RC 200 rides on MRF Rev-Z 110/70 17’ tyre in front & 150/60 17’ tyre same as Duke 200.MRFs offer good grip & you feel always in control over the bike.
- The seat on RC 200 is much better than Duke 200.
- The seat is softer & accommodates short as well as taller riders easily with a lot of room to manoeuvre around
- RC 200 gets a 300mm disc brake in front & a single 230mm disc at the rear.
- The bike misses out on ABS.
What Insurance cover to opt for:
RC 200 is a fully faired bike which means its covered in plastic. One slide can means expense of thousands of rupees. Proper insurance cover will ensure you have peace of mind while thrashing it around.
- Value of plastics depreciates a lot. 0% depreciation insurance goes a long way in keeping the repair bills down in case of a fall.
- Always have a cover for falls, accidents, and vandalisms as this bike is an attention magnet.
- RC 200 being a light bike is prone to theft. That is why it is a good idea to have an insurance that gives you complete cover from theft.
- Opt for cashless insurance cover to have a hassle free experience.
