High Tech With A Successful IDM-Racer Look
KTM first entered the IDM superbike class with its
long-term partner Red Bull in 2009 – and had
a great first season! After eight events and sixteen
races Stefan Nebel had finished in the points fifteen
times, achieved four podium positions and collected
184 points to become runner up in the IDM championship.
The RC8 R riders Didier van Keymeulen, Kai-Borre Andersen
and Jeremy McWilliams also achieved great
results. A good enough reason for KTM to develop the
refined 1190 RC8 R Red Bull Edition – in the
style of the IDM bikes with the high-tech qualities
expected of an RC8 R. The dynamic two-cylinder generates
a
power output of no less than 170 HP in the road-homologated
version, which can be further increased by another
10 HP with the club race kit. The adjustable vehicle
and seat geometry, premium-quality, fully
adjustable WP chassis components, forged Marchesini
light alloy wheels, Brembo highperformance
brakes, milled triple clamps and carbon mudguard make
one thing clear: the 1190 RC8 R Red Bull Edition is
purely 'Ready to Race'.
