KTM RC 8C Overview
The KTM RC 8C is a limited-production, track-only supersport bike. It is not street legal. Built in very small numbers, it is a pure race weapon designed for track days and closed-course use only.
Key Specs
• Engine: 889cc Parallel Twin (LC8c) • Power: 135 hp @ 11,000 rpm • Torque: 98 Nm • Dry Weight: 142 kg (313 lb) • Seat Height: 820 mm • Fuel Tank: 16 litres • Top Speed: Approx. 245–250 km/h (152–155 mph) • Price: Around $41,500 (limited production)
Top Speed
The RC 8C is claimed to reach around 245–250 km/h (152–155 mph). Because it is a pure track bike with race gearing, slicks and no street restrictions, real track top speeds can push close to this figure under ideal conditions.
Other Important Details
• Fully adjustable WP Apex Pro suspension • Brembo Stylema brakes • Dymag forged aluminium wheels • Pirelli Diablo Superbike slicks • 10-level traction control • Extremely focused track geometry • Very limited production (around 100 units per year)
Quick Verdict
The RC 8C is not a road bike. It is a serious track tool for experienced riders who want a lightweight, high-performance parallel-twin race machine straight from the factory.
