KTM RC 8C 2022 Experiences and Expert Review
Mex
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.
