Amateur track riders that will be fortunate enough to have a go at this, will be able to feel unprecedented levels of excitement.Īnd KTM promises all that and more, without you having to employ an army of engineers and mechanics for maintenance. KTM developed this "highly focused track weapon" in partnership with Krämer Motorcycles. So the fairings aren't just visually reminiscent of the KTM RC16 racer with their high-speed stability winglets, they're also made out of lightweight GRP and carbon-Kevlar. And as with any racing motorcycle, the manufacturer emphasizes the efforts that were made to keep the weight down to just 308 lbs (140 kg). Built around the LC8c engine, a version of which can be found on the KTM 890 Duke R, the RC 8C is a racing prototype. If like me, you're already drooling over the official pictures provided by KTM, you might be saddened by the fact that this is not going to be a road-going motorcycle. KTM has named it the RC 8C, and that's a good hint as to what kind of engine this is based on. So their newest bike just goes to show that they've been paying attention. KTM has been learning a lot from their World Championship venture, even though they've only been at it since 2017. Naturally, being that heavily involved in MotoGP wasn't going to render brand recognition alone. He's 7th at the moment, and he's not far behind Maverick Viñales, who's riding a Yamaha. But their fastest rider this year hails from Portugal, and his name is Miguel Oliveira.
