The motorcycle is housed around a bespoke steel tubular chassis and draws power from the 890 Duke R sourced engine. It is an 889cc, liquid-cooled, eight-valve, parallel-twin engine that is responsible for developing 126bhp of power.

Needless to say, the new KTM 8C will be a very close reflection of the company's race bike and the icing on the top - the company claims that it doesn't need a specialist race team to maintain the motorcycle. The bike is completely hand-built and is powered by a high-torque production engine.
