2023 KTM RC 8C revealed

KTM has revealed the 2023 RC 8C bike for the global markets. It flaunts cosmetic updates and offers upgraded electronics. It is backed by a tweaked 889cc, liquid-cooled engine.

Design

The 2023 version of KTM RC 8C has a muscular fuel tank, a raised windscreen, a rider-only saddle, a 5.0-inch TFT dashboard with a GPS data logger, and rides on 17-inch forged aluminum wheels.

Engine

KTM RC 8C draws power from an 889cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, parallel-twin engine that generates a maximum power of 132.7hp and a peak torque of 98Nm. The mill is linked to a 6-speed gearbox.

Safety

To ensure the safety of the rider, the 2023 KTM RC 8C is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with traction control, and engine braking for better handling.

Price

Only 200 units of the 2023 KTM RC 8C track-only supersport bike will be up for grabs. In the US, it should carry a premium over the outgoing model priced at $38,999 (around Rs. 32.1 lakh).
