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 machines
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.
(Planned start of production 2007).
