KTM RC 8C 2022

KTM RC 8C 2022

The KTM RC 8C was designed purely as a race track bike. You can see that at every turn. Whether you look at the replaceable crash pads on the frame, rear and swingarm or take a closer look at the many ergonomic adjustment options - there is no question that the RC 8C is 100% purpose-built! No road approval also means no unnecessary ballast, which is not needed on the racetrack anyway. This is also clearly noticeable when driving. Extremely manageable with super stable and confidence-inspiring handling characteristics, it puts a smile on the rider's face. Happy the one who gets to drive it! With only 100 units worldwide, it will be a rather rare sight in the paddock.

Those who had legitimate concerns about the lack of power on the various 250 cubic machines now have no more excuses. Ninja 400, it's good to have you!
