KTM RELEASES 2017 RC CUP RACEBIKE DETAILS
KTM Motorsports is pleased to announce important details about the KTM RC CUP RACEBIKE that is now available for purchase for participants of the KTM RC Cup, held in conjunction with the 2017 MotoAmerica Racing Series.
The KTM RC Cup Series showcases riders between the ages of 14 and 22-years-old holding an AMA Superstock Limited license. All riders must race aboard KTM RC CUP bikes. These motorcycles are designed as racing competition bikes (not street-legal) and have been prepared by KTM with over 40 PowerParts and other enhancements to increase racing performance. Some of the features include:
Fully adjustable WP Racing Fork
Fully adjustable WP Racing Rear Shock with high/low speed compression and rebound damping, adjustable preload and adjustable shock length
Akrapovic Exhaust
Racing Windshield, Tail Fairing and Belly Pan
RC8 R-style Throttle Assembly

To maintain competitive parity, the engine is sealed and may only be serviced by KTM’s trackside partner HMC Racing. Modified street-legal KTM RC 390 bikes will not qualify for participation in the MotoAmerica KTM RC Cup Series but will be allowed in regional racing. KTM’s partnership with HMC Racing will add a benefit to all riders during the racing weekend, as HMC will provide the following services to race participants:
KTM HMC semi-truck will be present at each event to provide a relaxing hospitality area for participants
The KTM HMC technicians will provide technical assistance and have parts available for purchase if needed as part of the trackside service program
KTM HMC technicians will provide a motorcycle safety check on motorcycles prior to the race and will help MotoAmerica regulate the validity of all race units to maintain motorcycle parity throughout the race series
