KTM enthusiasts, brace yourselves! The Austrian motorcycle manufacturer has unveiled the highly anticipated 2024 edition of its track-only beast, the RC 8C. However, there’s a catch – KTM plans to produce only 100 units of this adrenaline-pumping supersport, making it an exclusive gem for lucky owners worldwide. But before you get too excited, here’s the scoop on what makes this machine truly special.
Limited Production
With just 100 units up for grabs, the 2024 KTM RC 8C is set to be a collector’s dream. KTM will commence pre-orders for the RC 8C starting March 20, 2024. However, given the limited availability, enthusiasts are advised to act fast to secure their spot. Interested buyers from Europe, USA, Mexico, Canada, and South Africa can reserve their RC 8C by paying a pre-booking fee of 1,000 Euros.
Track Experience
For those seeking the ultimate track experience, KTM offers the option to book the delivery of their RC 8C at Portimao, Portugal. But wait, there’s more! Buyers opting for this exclusive delivery experience must also purchase the race parts package.
The handover session at Portimao includes a personalized track setup session, a thrilling track day experience with KTM racers, exhilarating hot laps in the KTM X-Bow, and access to a world-exclusive preview of a new product from KTM.

Built on a purpose-built steel tubular frame and equipped with lightweight components, the RC 8C is optimized for unparalleled performance on the track. With a dry weight of just 142 kg, this powerhouse is ready to dominate the circuit.
Premium Components
Crafted in collaboration with Kramer Motorcycles, the KTM RC 8C boasts top-notch engineering and premium components. Quick-release body and tank panels, lightweight Dymag wheels, and Pirelli racing slick tires ensure optimal performance and agility.
The bike also features high-quality suspension components, including a 43 mm WP Apex close cartridge fork and a WP Apex Pro 7746 monoshock, providing exceptional handling and stability.
