Overview
- Probiking chief Manik Nangia confirmed a next-gen RC range for late 2027 and said design sketches show new LED headlights and winglets.
- Nangia said the platform is not final, while reports point to a new sub-500cc parallel twin in development and spy shots show an ADV test bike using that motor.
- Sumeet Narang said the current RC 390 will remain on sale and will keep its 373cc single-cylinder engine for now.
- Industry analysis tied to India’s revised GST shows Bajaj-group brands planning sub-350cc models to qualify for a lower tax rate, creating a two-track lineup with the existing 390 platform.
- Autocar India reported that the next-gen RC is separate from the CF Moto 450-based RC spotted overseas, which is considered unlikely for the Indian market.
