2008 KTM 1190 RC8


KTM has officially introduced their new KTM RC8 superbike. Power comes from a 155 horsepower, 1148cc 75 degree V-Twin. The 414 pound RC8 has a powder coated Chromoly trellis frame rolling on 17 inch wheels with Brembo brakes.



At the very heart of the 1190 RC8 is the completely newly developed super sporty two-cylinder based on the well known LC8 range of engines, which, with a top performance of 155 hp and a maximum amount of torque of 120 Nm delivers an overwhelming amount of power to the rider.

This is KTM’s entry in the high power superbike market and it looks like a worthy contender. The 1190 RC8 will be offered in KTM's trademark orange and black scheme, as well as a white and black version. According to KTM PR the new model will be available March 2008, "just in time for the start of the new motorcycle season."
