SAFETY

• SILENCER: The compact underbelly, three-chamber silencer is positioned close to the bikes overall centre of gravity. This aids the centralisation of mass and prevents accidental contact with the riders and passengers legs.

OUTSTANDING STYLE

• INTEGRATED BLINKERS: As a special feature the RC incorporates blinkers into the mirror structure, which not only looks very sporty but also contributes to the perfect aerodynamics.
• BODYWORK: The brand new bodywork, footrests and pedals dont just provide a unique supersport look but also help the RC to master extreme cornering by allowaing a greater leaning angle.
• HEADLIGHT: Brand new twin headlight, opening a new direction for KTM style and perfectly matching the racing supersport look of the RC.
• THIN TAIL: Fitting perfectly into the pure racing look the number plate holder rounds KTM’s high performance bike off.

ERGONOMICS

• HANDLE BAR: Brand new clip on handlebars and switches are contributing to a a sporty and aggressive riding position combined with advanced control
• FUEL TANK: A brand new steel fuel tank with 9,5l capacity (including 1,5l reserve) has been developed for the RC, perfectly matching the supersport style and vehicle design, together with rider ergonomics.

• SEAT: The two-part seat offers first class supersport ergonomics with perfect support for rider and pillion. With a seat height of 820mm, it enables the rider to have a secure stance whilst also being high enough for sporty use and real big-bike feeling.
• WIND SHIELD: The advanced design wind shield in combination with the aerodynamic optimized motorcycle front ensure incredible wind protection for rider’s chest and arms.

SOLID TECHNOLOGY

• TELESCOPIC FORK: The KTM RC 200 high-quality upside-down fork from WP Suspension has the same 43 mm outer tube diameter as the RC8 R – in other words, real racing equipment that guarantees the highest levels of stability and precision.
• SWING ARM: The light alloy swingarm with directly linked WP shock absorber excels with extreme torsional stiffness and outstanding tracking stability.
• INSTRUMENT: The 100% digital LCD display has everything you could expect from a state of the art KTM motorcycle, including engaged gear, fuel gauge and service reminder information. Just like supersport racing machines an RPM alert indicates when is the best moment for shifting up.
• FRAME: Visually similar to the lightweight and approved Duke steel trellis frame, the orange painted frame has been modified to better fit the supersport ergonomics and dynamics. The increase of the steering head angle to 66,5 degrees resulted in a shorter trail, shorter wheelbase and increasing ground clearance. All these modifications release the complete racing potential of the RC and guarantee a quick, agile and playful handling.

RACING DNA

• TRIPLE CLAMPS: The brand new forged aluminum triple clamps are eye-catchers and together with the clip on handlebars guarantee a pure supersport racing feeling.

• PILLION RIDE SEAT: In order to make no compromises in terms of supersport look the KTM engineers integrated the pillion seat into the bodywork lines so that it looks like a real racing bike tail, but ensuring excellent comfort for the passenger.
• BRAKES: KTM developed in cooperation with Brembo a powerful and easy to control brake-system which allows the rider to be always in control of the RC.
