REVISED, REWORKED AND READY TO RACE: THE 2023 KTM RC 8C IS FIRED-UP
The KTM RC 8C has only one goal: to stamp its orange authority on the starting grid. Designed to dominate the racetrack, the 2023 KTM RC 8C combines the ultra-high output LC8c engine with an ultra-lightweight frame and WP APEX PRO suspension for incredible performance without compromise.
The second generation KTM RC 8C was more than just a fresh coat of paint and a tweaked aero package. Motorcyclists and racers quickly embraced the concept, and KTM became enthusiastic about raising the performance threshold once again.
As a result, the 2023 model features an LC 8c engine molded specifically for the track, upgraded electronics, further weight reduction, and a host of high-end components that ensure the bike's competitive edge.
The 2023 KTM RC 8C has been optimized to a dry weight of only 142 kg and has the feel of a prototype that can attack the inside line against any superbike, thanks to the superior agility of its CrMo4 steel frame. Aside from the slimmer design, including a newly developed titanium Akrapovic exhaust system, the latest configuration of WP PRO COMPONENTS settings give the bike an even sharper feel. The WP APEX PRO forks and shocks are softer for improved comfort, ground contact, and reliability.
