The suspension of the 2024 KTM RC 8C has been tailored for track use, with a 43 mm WP APEX PRO 7543 closed cartridge fork in the front and a WP APEX PRO 7746 with a remote preload adjuster at the rear. The bike features Brembo 19RCS Corsa Corta radial master brake cylinders and Brembo Stylema front brake calipers, ensuring excellent braking performance. The frame is a purpose-built 25CrMo4 steel tubular frame, providing stability and precision on the track.
