KTM RC4 : More on the bike

We had told you about the KTM RC4 last year KTM RC4, and here are some more details on the bike then

The RC4 is not the top priority no doubt, but still, it is a big project for KTM. The RC4 is not just about putting low bars and a fairing on the 690 Duke.

On the track, the bike is just 2 seconds a lap slower than 600cc supersports bikes. It has a 230km/h (142mph) top speed and a new version of the engine pumping out 78bhp. The prototype weighs 132kg only, so that means it will be easy to ride! yes, the power at 78bhp is less, but a low weigh of just 132kg means the power to weight ratio will be good.

What is probably bothering KTM is if people will be willing to shell out high money for such a bike...

We will keep you updated on this then
