KTM has unveiled the second-gen version of its track-only supersport, the RC 8C.

Inspired by the RC16 MotoGP bike, the '23 RC 8C will be limited to just 200 units.
It comes painted in a new matte black colour with minimal orange accents.
Is more beastly with a 7PS increase in power, now producing 135PS and 98Nm from its 889cc parallel twin engine.
Gets a new Akrapovic titanium racing exhaust system and weighs only 142kg!
Features the same fully adjustable WP Apex Pro USDs and monoshock but with softer tuning for better riding confidence.
Apart from other subtle updates, the new bike remains mostly unchanged from the first gen RC 8C and will go on sale globally on October 27.
Sadly, this track tamer won't come cheap in India. If you're looking for a performance packed supersport that's at home on the highway as well as at the racetrack, you can take a look at the KTM RC390.
