@@olliegodfrey3308 really appreciate that Ollie. Not an exaggeration but these exchanges and comments really help motivate me to keep sharing! Thank YOU!
thank you! :D Dymag's website says they are pausing production of the carbon wheels (they're moving their factories for carbon production??) but they are continuing production of the forged wheels. So I think we will be able to get the orange forged magnesium wheels, but carbon might not be an option.
I’m debating…my understanding is there’s not much effect, the bike isn’t a superbike so the speeds aren’t all that high (like 155-60ish). It’s a supersport at the end of the day. But maybe just do it for the looks?!
@@rikardbirgersson8578 thanks so much! hi Rikard, its around $2900 USD + shipping, in North America around $400-500, in Europe around $100. Feel free to send me a message on Facebook if you'd like to get a set!
Thank you! I knowww T.T hallett is *really* far with the giant trailer/towing. We just got back from Barber though…so I don’t really have a good excuse 😅😅😂

@@andymac403 that is awesome Andy! The RC8C is a *awesome* especially for tracks like Barber. I'm planning on doing 3-day event there next year in Spring, come by, we'll get a bunch of RC8Cs out there as well!
howdy! a friend of mine in EU makes it. I could get the OEM fairings from KTM, but I was interested in trying something different. I've always loved winter liveries, like the WSBK ZX10R Jonathan Rea Winter liveries so I felt this was an opportune time to try it out! :D
Thanks! They just sold out the 2023 batch of 200 units. From time to time you’ll see one go on sale as not all buyers will ride them. Worth the money in my opinion!
The orange was so clean, but the new bodywork is beautiful in its own right as well. Keep us updated on the orange Dymags! Awesome video. Really glad I found your channel.
Thanks Alex, appreciate it man. I think the Orange is very classic and it stands out on the grid which is awesome. The carbon is menacing 😈 glad you found the channel, more to come!
Good news! There have been spy shots of a sport style 890. It’ll be a different chassis/suspension since it’ll be for street riding mainly but it should still kickass! The spy shots suggest that the bodywork is very close to the RC8C as well!
I was just looking at my 890 and thinking that if I were to redesign it, I would lower the shock, go with a low exhaust, move the gas down to the center and put the airbox in the ‘fuel tank’ area. Turns out that is basically a naked RC-8C!
I've probably watched more than 20 of your videos, and this one just made me feel guilty for not subscribing🤭.... It looks wonderful! I'm curious, what ECU does the RC8C run ?
Omg… 😢 Hahah jk! I hope you’ve subscribed NOW! 😅 The ECU is the same as the KTM Duke but mapped with a different tune to accommodate for the increased airflow and super bad ass exhaust system :D
I have a friend in Europe that manufactures carbon so I had him make me a set, he’s got extra sets that he can sell so let me know if you’d like the contact. They fit both 2022 and 2023 RC8Cs 👊
I’d never think less of you Dukie! Haha, yes actually Dirk at 212 suggested that option to try and see how it looks so we might go that route for short term/see how it looks. I also reached out to Dymag for carbon wheels but apparently they’re pausing production on carbon wheels for motorcycles 🥲
If someone smeared a Pedrosa signature off my bike they'd have to pay for my next 4 trackdays, no questions asked. What a bike you're putting together though! KTM has to start paying you, you're making me want to buy a RC 390 😂
haha thanks man, KTM make great bikes. but dude, hold off if you can. Kawasaki just confirmed they are bring the ZX-4R to the States. If I were in the market for a small displacement, wicked fast track bike, I would 100% get the ZX-4R. It's going to be lighter and more nimble than a Ninja 400, but with significantly more power and better electronics.
definitely an option! Dymag haven't gotten back to me yet about carbon wheels or colored forged wheels, so I think a decal wheelkit might be the ticket.
Fookin' Hell!! You have nailed it bro! Factory race team winter testing look is awesome. Is there a 'tank extender' available for this, like what racing folk tend to fit to keep you further back from the sloping tank, if you know what I mean. It'll look so damned good on the track. Hope you enjoy riding this beauty lots. Cos I would!
Thanks Gio!!! I really really liked how it turned out! No tank extender right now, but I haven’t found a huge issue with the ergonomics. I might add some stomp grips as it can get a little slippery mid corner lol 😂
7:55 I think I just learned I've been putting on dzus backets wrong my whole life. I always put the bodywork between the 'U' and then never seemed to get the bodywork lined up right...
Bro I’m absolutely jellybeans jealous! It’s beautiful and I wasn’t sure it could get any better! Wish we could meet up with you at Barber, but unfortunately we are at Road Atlanta this weekend and will be tapped for that month afterwards lol. Keep it up right and safe bro! Looks amazing!
Thanks man!!! Have a great time at Road Atlanta, I have a feeling I’ll be back at Barber. Also lmk if you make it out for any COTA trackdays this fall/winter!
@@vtranmoto Barber is one of the best tracks in this country! It’s like a small beautiful well kept compound and the atmosphere is intoxicating. Not to mention the track itself it’s smooth and very technical! COTA is a ways away for us, but I would love that so we might! I’ll let you know! I bet it’s an expensive track?
@@ryanlowe2808 that's consistent with everything I've heard about Barber. I'm BEYOND excited to experience it myself. Unfortunately, COTA is definitely way ovepriced. $500-600 PER day. Its absurd. But for me, its also the only track in the region that is "World class". So its definitely a special experience. Is it worth it to go regularly? Absolutely not. Is it worth it to go once..maybe twice a year? Maybe...lol.
@@vtranmoto I’ll say this, after riding a real MotoGP track at Mugello last month, I am shocked at the difference between a “world class” track as you say, and all the other American tracks. They make the rest look like go kart tracks, the long sweeping (high speed) corners are no joke and they made me feel like my first time on track again. So fast, so beautiful, so much different than 99% of our tracks. If COTA is the same, then I agree it’s worth going as often as possible!
@@ryanlowe2808 Whoo!!!! That’s so awesome! Sounds like y’all had a great time at Mugello 😁 COTA is indeed a “world class” circuit, its truly a F1 track so it’s got room for days which is pretty confidence inspiring. Definitely do it some day!
