To control the speed of this beast KTM equipped a massive 320 mm single disc on front and 230 mm disc at the rear. Additionally for safety and more breaking efficiency, KTM also attached a dual-channel ABS system. Those who are short they definitely feel a bit uncomfortable on 2020 RC 390 because the seat height is 820 mm.
