Overview

• A faired twin-cylinder KTM RC test bike has been photographed with a much more finished look than earlier KTM twin Adventure and Duke prototypes.
• Key visual cues point to the CFMoto 450 SR S platform, including a single-sided swingarm, similar chassis sections, and exhaust downpipes.
• Despite the suspected CFMoto base, the mule carries clear KTM design elements such as sharp bodywork, WP-branded adjustable suspension, and familiar switchgear.
• Reporters suggest this model is unrelated to the recently spotted raw KTM twin mules and could ultimately be positioned as an RC 490.
• Speculation points to a potential successor to the RC 390, while timing, pricing, and the likelihood of Indian sales or local assembly remain unknown.
