KTM’s forgotten superbike? 🟧

The RC8 was KTM’s first true superbike and one of the boldest designs the sportbike world has ever seen.

No rider aids.
No compromises.
Just raw performance.

Years later it still feels completely different from anything else on the road.

Was the RC8 ahead of its time?

Three generations of KTM sportbikes 🟧

From the lightweight RC390 race build, to the legendary RC8, and now the new 990RCR.

Each bike represents a different part of KTM’s racing DNA — lightweight performance, raw superbike character, and the next evolution of KTM sport machines.

Excited to keep building, riding, and sharing the journey with these incredible bikes.
