For all motorsport enthusiasts and lovers of exclusive racing machines, KTM presents the latest edition of the RC 8C. Limited to just 100 units worldwide, this motorcycle once again underlines KTM's motto "Ready to Race" with an impressive combination of performance, design and exclusivity.
At the heart of the KTM RC 8C 2024 beats a powerful 889cc LC8c parallel twin engine, which promises impressive performance on the race track with its 135 hp (99 kW, 133 hp) at 11,000 rpm and a torque of 98 Nm at 8,250 rpm. This power is packed into a dry weight of just 142 kg, making this motorcycle a true lightweight. Thanks to the exclusive partnership with Krämer Motorcycles, known for its expertise in the racing sector, the RC 8C has racing equipment that leaves nothing to be desired. From carbon Kevlar fairings inspired by the KTM RC16 to high-quality Dymag wheels and Pirelli racing slicks, the RC 8C is designed to meet the highest demands.
The suspension comes from WP, an established name in motorsport, with a 43mm WP Apex Pro 7543 fork at the front and a WP Apex Pro 7746 shock absorber at the rear, both fully adjustable for optimum racetrack performance. The braking system, equipped with MotoGP-proven Brembo components, offers precise braking behavior and is adapted to the low mass of the machine.
Exclusive pre-order and experience offers
Interested parties can pay a deposit of 1,000 euros from March 20, 2024 to reserve one of the limited models. In addition, KTM is offering an unforgettable takeover experience in Portimão, Portugal. Here, buyers can have their new RC 8C optimally set up under the guidance of KTM racing legends and take part in an exclusive track day. This package also includes participation in a private dinner event and the opportunity to take a spin in a KTM X-BOW race car, along with the presentation of a world first from KTM.
An expensive pleasure
With a price tag of 42,000 euros, KTM has priced the RC 8C 2024 even higher than its predecessors, although not much has really changed on the bike. Despite the high price and limited availability, history shows that demand for this exclusive racing machine is high and units will sell out quickly.
