The 2024 KTM RC 8C has been launched and interested parties can pre-order online from Wednesday, 20th March.

Although the spec sheets point to a bike that is similar to the 2023 model, the 2024 models will be £2,000 (MYR12,003.16) dearer. However, KTM will build only 100 of the 2024 model, compared to 200 of the previous.

So what do you get for £36,999 (MYR222,057.57)? As before, the bike is built in collaboration with Krämer:

• The same 889cc LC8c engine from the 890 Duke R, albeit tuned to 135hp at 12,000 RPM.
• Top spec WP APEX PRO 7543 forks and WP APEX PRO 7746 shock.
• MotoGP-esque carbon aero wings.
• Race-spec Brembo 19RCS Corsa Corta radial master brake cylinder, Brembo Stylema calipers, and brake discs with aluminium rotors and titanium screws.
• Lightweight aluminium Dymag wheels.
• AIM MXS 1.2 RACE dashboard and data logger with built-in GPS functionality, displayed on a 5″ TFT screen with continuous data recording.

Customers who secure a 2024 KTM RC 8C with a £900 (MYR5,401.59) deposit on the day will get an invite to a handover event at Portugal’s Portimao race track which includes a track setup session, dinner, meet and greet, and an exclusive track day experience with ‘KTM Race Royalty’.

So, remember to place your orders, okay? Make Malaysia proud.
