Gear up and get READY TO RACE, because this is a rare chance to own a piece of two-wheel history! As displayed on location at the recent Sydney Motorsport Park round of the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK), KTM Australia has secured an extremely limited number of KTM RC 8C track machines – the model that quickly sells out worldwide – available to order in Australian and New Zealand immediately.
With only 200 of the ultra-exclusive KTM RC 8C track-day weapons produced globally in the matt black colour variant, 10 of these are now available for Australia or New Zealand riders looking to tear up the tarmac on one of the most sought-after, purposeful models on the market.
The KTM RC 8C has been co-engineered in a close partnership with Krämer Motorcycles, boasting high-end racing componentry and paired with an enhanced LC8c production engine for easier maintenance and parts availability, combined with a brand new titanium Akrapovic exhaust system. It’s a razor-sharp, purpose-built bike that’s been developed for the racetrack with absolute intent. And performance can be measured through a revamped dashboard with GPS data-logger as you challenge yourself to your very own lap record attempts!
This second generation of the KTM RC 8C has advanced aerodynamics, an additional 7hp for maximum power of 135 hp at 11,000 RPM (with 98 Nm of torque at 8,250 RPM), upgraded electronics including multiple settings of traction control, mapping, engine braking and the reverse QUICKSHIFTER+, as well as even more weight-saving solutions meaning it tops the scales at 142 kg (dry) to increase its edge on-track.
In addition, riders will benefit from WP PRO COMPONENTS with the WP APEX PRO fork and shock dialled in to elevate comfort and confidence, while combined with the ever-agile and refined CrMo4 steel frame. Its adjustability is immense, including an adjustable steering head to the offset of the CNC-machine triple clamps, and the braking department is handled by unbeatable Brembo Stylema calipers and a RCS19 Corsa Corta master cylinder.
