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.

This bike is a true READY TO RACE prototype designed to shatter lap records.

With only 200 units available, Triple D Motosport are delighted to receive bike number 178 for a limited time. With a base price of £34,999, these bikes have now all been pre-ordered, but you can still join the waiting list in case of cancellations.

The KTM RC 8C is a purpose-built, lightweight racing prototype with an updated LC8c engine. Delivering a punchy 135 HP, the 889cc engine is one of the lightest and most compact parallel twins, making it a perfect match for this precision-built race-tuned chassis.

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.

A swingarm scoop also aids in downforce, as well as providing a significant amount of cooling to the rear tire.

This bike is now on display until March at Triple D Motosport in Kendal, with KTM now taking pre-orders for this incredible race pedigree machine.

Call in to see it for yourself, meet our experienced team and checkout out the rest of the KTM Street and off-road ranges.
