A Homage To The Racing Spirit
KTM presented the first of 100 RC8 R Akrapovic Race
Replicas within the scope of the 2009 IDM finale in
Hockenheim. Once optimised with the supplied club
race kit containing an Akrapovic exhaust system, a
modified cylinder head gasket and modified mapping,
the eye-catching machine generates 180 HP, making
it one of the world's most powerful superbikes.
Of course, the impressive Race Replica is also fully
road homologated with the original exhaust system.
After all, the high-tech twocylinder motorcycle that
was successful at the IDM - the racing machine was
ridden by
famous Jeremy McWilliams - already comes as standard
as a state-of-the-art superbike that already impresses
through its highly refined fittings, racing-adapted
WP suspension chassis components and exquisite
Brembo brake technology. The Race Replica now tops
off the design. In evidence of the successful cooperation
with Akrapovic, the leading manufacturer of high-end
exhaust systems, each of the 100 numbered motorcycles
are extraordinary collector's items which are as rare
as they are fast.
