For the RC8, KTM brought their riders to the design table as well as the best
technicians and designers. Aim: The ultimate weapon for am-bitious
street-fighters. That means: A radical concentration of its mass around the
compact 75° V2. Innovative details are everywhere: The seat is the tank, keeping
fuel at the machine’s centre of gravity. Dry sump lubrication allows the entire
exhaust system to sit precisely where it has the least influence on dynamics.
Directly under the engine. The fairing is designed to produce: The least
possible crosswind drag. The result: No crosswind oscillation, spell-binding
agility, and aggres-sive steering ability.
