KTM RC8R 1190 (2013)

The KTM RC8R 1190 is a marvel of engineering, boasting a potent 75-degree V-twin engine that produces a whopping 175bhp and 93.6lb-ft of torque.

This powerhouse is tamed by a revised crankshaft, refined fuel injection, and new dual-plug ignition, ensuring a more linear power delivery and addressing the previous model’s notorious surge of power.

The suspension has been thoroughly revised, offering a wider range of adjustment than before, while the eccentric linkage for the rear shock provides unparalleled stability and control.

The RC8R’s aggressive styling is matched only by its performance capabilities, with a menacing reputation that precedes it on the track and the road.

Its extraordinary ergonomics and multitude of adjustability options make it a joy to ride, and with its completely street-legal status, there’s no excuse not to unleash its fury on the open road. The KTM RC8R 1190 is the ultimate super bike for those who crave raw power and unbridled excitement.
