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 two cylinder 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.
