2024 KTM RC 8C

The KTM RC 8C exists to fulfill one simple purpose - to stamp orange authority on the starting grid. Engineered to be a bespoke, no-compromise track weapon, the KTM RC 8C is aimed at a special type of rider who lives with his - or her - elbow on the deck. Limited to only 100 units, this is a true READY TO RACE prototype designed to shatter lap records.

Features may include:

IN THE PITS

100% READY TO RACE
  • Race Prepared

In the truest embodiment of our famous slogan, the KTM RC 8C is 100% READY TO RACE. Boasting the ultimate top-shelf components from race-spec braking systems and suspension, it is truly race-prepped right out of the box. This includes thoroughly engineered protection parts fitted as standard, and essential safety-wired items such as the oil drain screws, oil filter cover, and caliper bolts.

TUNED DYNAMICS
  • Ultra-fine adjustment

Refined down to the millimeter, the KTM RC 8C can be adjusted to suit any rider or riding style. Both the handlebars and footpegs can be adjusted to fit individual rider preferences and body sizes, while the steering head and triple clamp offset can also be tuned to allow for faster turn-in or high-speed stability.

MISSION CONTROL
  • Data logging

On the track, data equals speed. The KTM RC 8C makes use of a full factory AIM MXS 1.2 RACE dashboard and data logger. This is controlled by a 5" TFT display with integrated data recording functionality and GPS function. All data is logged into the AIM Race Studio for easy and concise studying later. Once logged, the data can be analyzed in the AIM RaceStudio, at no additional cost. Here, riders and pit crews can track speed, position on the track, lap times, throttle position, and critical engine stats in real time.

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT

3, 2, 1 ... LAUNCH!
  • Fine-tuned Performance

Rocketing the KTM RC 8C off the line is an ultra-potent, lightweight, and compact 889 cc LC8c engine. Tuned to deliver more power and reach a higher rev limit of 12,000 RPM, the engine has been given a thorough makeover internally. These include new titanium intake and exhaust valves, titanium connecting rods, machined cylinder head ports, a 48 mm throttle body, and a machined combustion chamber to mention a few. The addition of an extra oil cooler also ensures this machine keeps its cool while on the charge.

DEEP BREATH
  • Air intake

The KTM RC 8C has a decent set of lungs. Featuring a completely unique air filter box with a Twin Air filter, it maximizes air intake and throttle response. This, together with precision engine management system and a new fuel pump to meet the demands of the ram air intake system. A channeled body panel design also means air is forced right into the heart of the machine. And with air comes explosive off-the-line power.

BREAKNECK BARK
  • Exhaust

Providing the bark to the KTM RC 8C's bite is a lightweight full Akrapovic racing exhaust with a carbon silencer cap. Not only does this give the KTM RC 8C a unique tone, it also perfectly complements the READY TO RACE nature of the machine.

DOWN THE STRAIGHT

BEAT THE WIND
  • Aerodynamics

The KTM RC 8C is designed and aerodynamically optimized by the same team who brought you the KTM RC16. Making use of ultra-strong but lightweight GRP with carbon Kevlar reinforced fairings, it is the closest you can get to an out-and-out GP racer - complete with stability winglets! Not only do these keep things steady at high speeds, but they also act to provide downforce when it's needed most.
