The KTM RC 8 R 1190 ABS 2015 is a potent and mesmerizing piece of engineering. At the heart of this monster lies a 2-cylinder, 4-stroke, spark-ignition engine, designed in a V shape at 75 degrees. The engine has a displacement of 1195 cc, with a bore of 105 mm and a stroke of 69 mm. Power is transmitted through a 6-speed, claw shifted transmission, allowing for smooth and effortless shifts.

The model features an electric starter which ensures easy starts every time. Its liquid cooling system ensures that the engine remains at an optimal temperature during all conditions. Its fuel is managed by a Keihin EMS with DBW, which includes a twin ignition system.

The KTM RC 8 R carries a dry weight of 184 kg within a tubular space frame made from chrome molybdenum steel, powder-coated to enhance durability. The bike runs on a 5/8 x 5/16” X‑Ring chain drive that delivers power efficiently. The fitted wet multi-disc clutch is hydraulically operated, contributing to the bike’s seamless performance.

Safety features include Bosch 9M+ two-channel ABS (disengageable), a twin-disc front brake with radially mounted four-piston brake calipers, and a single-disc rear brake with two-piston brake caliper. The front and rear suspension come from WP, with 120 mm of travel at both ends, ensuring a plush and comfortable ride.

The KTM RC 8 R sits at a height of 805 mm from the ground, which gives a commanding view of the road. Despite its performance-oriented nature, it still manages to offer a tank capacity of 16.5 liters which means that your exhilarating rides are going to last longer. Final details like its steering-head angle at 66.7 degrees ensure complete control during high speeds.

The KTM RC 8 R 1190 ABS 2015 truly bridges the gap between high performance and a street-legal ride, offering the best features of both domains.
