R and G protection for the KTM RC8

E-mail Print PDF

randg_protector.jpgBritish-based crash protection specialists, R&G Racing, have revealed a full range of parts to help protect the awesome new KTM RC8 and also sharpen the styling. The crash protectors have been carefully constructed in order to defend as much of the machine as possible without upsetting the Austrian superbike’s unique design and blending in where possible.

The R&G Tail Tidy goes the opposite way, allowing owners to alter the styling by revealing the sharp lines of the compact seat unit exactly how the KTM designers intended. The R&G RC8 range includes protectors for the frame, engine cases and fairing panels, forks, swingarm and bars, one of the areas most likely to be affected by a spill. Much more than plastic held on by bolts, the high-density Polyethylene (HDPE) bungs are designed to wear and not shatter. The particular grade of steel bolts used also helps to absorb impact by bending, rather than snap or twist their mounting points on the bike.The main protectors, available in modern “Aero” style, are clamped to the chassis in the optimum by a beautiful anodised aluminium block and clamp arrangement, designed to complement that of the black steel trellis frame, despite ultimately being covered by the fairing panels.

Protecting the RC8’s compact, 150bhp V-twin engine are R&G’s heavy duty engine case sliders. These are also constructed from HDPE and bolt directly on top of the original items for maximum peace of mind. R&G’s designers have also left a space on the protectors for the engine’s name on the original covers to continue being proudly displayed.

The lithe aluminium Tail Tidy unit replaces the original numberplate hanger and indicators. It comes complete with all fittings and an ultra-bright LED numberplate light. Micro indicators are also available as an option with the unit.
