KTM SUPERBIKE RC8 R 1190

This 2013 KTM 1190 RC8 R is a true piece of engineering art. The motorcycle has all it needs to be considered one of the most capable super sports in its segment and is also powered by one of the most powerful V2 engines. The engine is a 2-cylinder. 4-stroke. spark-ignition. liquid-cooled unit with a displacement of 1. 95 cc. Fire it up and will reward you with a maximum output of 129 kW (173 hp). The engine is kept in leash by a 6-speed. claw shifted gear box. Very smooth shifting. The bike rides on a front high-quality upside-down fork from WP Suspension which can be adjusted separately for preload as well as for compression and rebound damping. Out back there is a modern WP shock absorber which completely isolates the rebound damping from the compression stage. so that they can each be adjusted independently of one another. The RC8 R’s brake system with the highest quality Brembo® components functions perfectly. sensitively and steadily. At the front. for example. two radially-mounted. four-piston brake callipers and two 320 mm diameter and 5 mm thick semi-floating brake discs provide massive stopping power. The electronic Keihin engine management with twin throttle valves regulates the modern electronic fuel injection system on the 2013 KTM RC8 R. focussing on maximum power with predictable power development and spontaneous responsiveness with precisely controllable throttle responseEngine Design2-cylinder. 4-stroke. spark-ignition engine. 75° V arrangement. liquid-cooledDisplacement1. 95 cm³Bore105 mmStroke69 mmPerformance129 kW (173 hp)Starting aidElectric starterTransmission6-speed. claw shiftedEngine lubricationDry-sump lubrication with 3 rotor pumpsPrimary gear ratio40:76Secondary gear ratio17:37Cooling systemLiquid cooling system. continuous circulation of cooling liquid with water pumpClutchPASC™ Anti-hopping clutch / hydraulically operatedIgnition systemContactless. controlled. fully electronic ignition system with digital ignition timing adjustmentFrameTubular space frame made from chrome molybdenum steel. powder-coatedForksWP Suspension Up Side DownShock absorberWP Suspension MonoshockSuspension travel front120 mmSuspension travel rear120 mmBrake system frontTwin-disc brake with radially mounted four-piston brake calipers; floating brake discsBrake system rearSingle-disc brake with two-piston brake caliper; fixed brake discBrake discs - diameter front320 mmBrake discs - diameter rear220 mmChain5/8 x 5/16” X‑RingSteering head angle66. 7°Wheelbase1. 25 mmGround clearance (unloaded)110 mmSeat height (unloaded) lower subframe position805 mmSeat height (unloaded) upper subframe position825 mmTotal fuel tank capacity approx. 16. 5 l Unleaded premium fuel (95 RON)Weight without fuel approx. 406 lbs
