2022 KTM RC 8C

The KTM RC 8C is an ultra-lightweight, bespoke track weapon designed with one simple purpose - to decimate lap times and stamp orange authority on the starting grid. With only 100 of these rare weapons going into production, the KTM RC 8C is a highly limited, unique motorcycle aimed at a special type of rider who knows how to get his, or her, elbow down.

• No compromise

The KTM RC 8C is developed and built in partnership with Krämer Motorcycles, around a no-compromise, hand-built racing chassis with a 100% track-focused objective. With one eye on all out performance and the other on usability, this 140 kg machine is truly without equal.

• Race Proven Parts

The KTM RC 8C is hand-built and boasts factory racing-levels of premium componentry, from Dymag forged wheels, Pirelli Diablo rubber and to the very best items from the Brembo brakes parts bin.

• The LC8c

Rocketing the KTM RC 8C off the line is a ultra-potent, lightweight and compact 128 hp 889 cc LC8c engine. If that sounds familiar, it’s the same, celebrated powerplant found in the KTM 890 DUKE R, but with more focus on more and drive out of corners. The benefit of using a production engine is easy maintenance and parts availability, without sacrificing on performance.

• Mission Control

On the track, data equals speed. The KTM RC 8C makes use of a race-focused, easy to use dashboard with data logging technology which records multiple aspects of your lap. All data is logged into the AIM RaceStudio for easy and concise studying later.

• Function and Form

The KTM RC 8C is designed and aerodynamically optimized by the same team who designed the KTM RC16 MotoGP racer. 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.
