2024 KTM RC8c First Ride - Cycle News

The term “exclusive” gets thrown around way too much these days. It’s a catch-all phrase designed to excite your vanity and separate you from your hard-earned cash, but occasionally, very occasionally, it’s a term that has some meaning. This is especially the case when talking about a KTM RC8c.
The RC8c is not a new motorcycle. It’s been around for three years and has served as KTM’s toe in the water as it returns to building full-on sportbikes for the first time in a decade thanks to the incoming 2025 990 RCR supersport machine. But the RCR won’t be exclusive. Not like a RC8c. We attended the epic Portimäo circuit in Portugal for the official send off.
