Buyers will also have the option to book an exclusive handover session at Portimão, Portugal, which includes a personalized track setup and a meet-and-greet with KTM racing royalty.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 09:16 AM The 2024 KTM RC 390 has received several updates, including a revised engine mapping for smoother power delivery and improved torque figures. The bike also features a larger airbox, ride-by-wire-controlled fuel injection, and optional Quickshifter+. The suspension has been refined with WP Apex components, and the braking system includes a ByBre radial-mount four-piston caliper. I believe these changes make the RC 390 even more appealing for both track and street riding.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 07:52 AM KTM has introduced new color and graphic updates across its RC Supersport range for 2024, drawing inspiration from MotoGP machines and past prototypes. The RC 390, for example, comes in new orange-on-blue and orange-on-black color schemes. These new designs add a fresh look to the already impressive performance of the RC series.

It also features a bespoke racing air box and racing air filter, along with a racing exhaust from Akrapovic. This bike is truly built for those who live and breathe track racing.

Sunday, 15 October 2023 07:51 PM KTMs RC range for 2024 includes significant ergonomic improvements, with an all-new chassis designed to enhance rider comfort and performance. The RC 8C, in particular, has a dedicated 25CrMo4 tubular steel frame and WP Apex Pro components suspension, making it a formidable track weapon. I think the focus on ergonomics will make these bikes more accessible to a wider range of riders.

Wednesday, 20 September 2023 12:51 PM The 2024 KTM RC 390 features improved airflow throughout the engine, allowing it to run cooler and maintain optimal performance temperature. This, combined with its stainless steel headers and aluminum muffler, gives the bike a distinct sound and enhanced performance. The bikes reliability and power make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced riders.

Friday, 25 August 2023 06:32 AM KTM has emphasized the READY TO RACE philosophy with the 2024 RC series, particularly the RC 8C, which is designed to deliver Moto2 levels of performance. The bikes near 1:1 power-to-weight ratio and advanced electronics make it a top choice for serious track enthusiasts. I believe this focus on performance will keep KTM at the forefront of the supersport market.

Saturday, 15 July 2023 06:35 PM The 2024 KTM RC 8C includes advanced data logging capabilities with a full factory AIM MXS 1.2 RACE dashboard and data logger. This system, controlled by a 5 TFT display, allows riders to track critical performance metrics in real time and analyze them later using the AIM RaceStudio. This technology is a game-changer for serious racers looking to optimize their performance.
