KTM has unveiled the 2024 edition of the RC 8C motorcycle for the international market. The auto giant will only manufacture 100 units of the new track-only motorcycle. KTM will commence pre-bookings for the bike on March 20, 2024. To pre-book the new model, buyers will have to pay INR 1,000 Euros. As of now, the track-only motorcycle will only be available in the USA, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South Africa.
The auto giant is hosting a handover session in Portimao, Portugal. Customers can also schedule the delivery of their RC 8C at Portimao; however, doing so will require them to purchase the race parts package. The event will incorporate a personalized track setup session, hot laps in the KTM X-Bow, a track day with KTM racers, and a preview of new KTM products.
