Five horses and half a mkg of torque more, more aggressive colors, the KTM RC8 R emerges from the weight room with new arguments to make. Must say that her title of German SBK champion gave her new desires.
Katoche went back to the heart of the 1190 cm3 to get more watts out of it. A new crankshaft takes place as well as a double ignition. Double advantage: the twin is not only more powerful but also more economical and less polluting. The suspension has been completely revised, with greater comfort for the pilot and more efficiency on the track. The gearbox control has also been improved and a new LED headlight gives the beast a more striking look. The price of the RC8-R is drastically reduced. However, KTM does not seem to offer a lower quality machine, quite the contrary. But we’re not going to start complaining that a bike is cheaper, especially since it fell by 4,000 euros in the operation. Enough to afford tires and fairings for the entire season. It is only at the level of the wheels that it annoys a little – the new cast aluminum rims are heavier, which partly explains the weight gain of 3 kilos of the Katoche..
Its chassis was already formidable, allowing dazzling cornering speeds. With this additional potato, the Mattighofen superbike comes dangerously close (for Ducati) to the 1198. For those only interested in the track, there is also in the catalog a Track version, more powerful, lighter, exclusively intended for the circuit and ready to go. to run. The standard, less convincing RC8 disappears from the catalog.
