RC8 R POWER PLANT75° V-twin EFI 1195ccBore/ Stroke – 105x69mm170 Hp, 90.7 lb-ft Only 136.9 lbs
Steady power delivery - extremely controllable, even under extreme acceleration
New mapping noticeably improves on/off throttle behavior and thus rideability & controllability
1190RC8R
RC8 R ENGINE DETAILSThe bore is increased to 105 mm (+2mm from RC8)
Superlight pistons with modified connecting rods in a trapeziod shape to minimize oscillating masses. It also increases the size of load bearing area of the piston pin which improves durability under increased compression
Titanium intake valves 42 mm, exhaust 34 mm (steel)
1190RC8R
RC8 R ENGINE DETAILSCompact 4-valve cylinder head – reworked flat combustion chamber layout – very small valve angle
Camshafts with adjustable valve timing for racing modifications and tuning potential– longer valve duration
1190RC8R
RC8 R ENGINE DETAILSState-of-the-art cylinder head and valve train design featuring DLC coated
finger followers (DLC=Diamond Like Coating)
1190RC8R
RC8 R ENGINE DETAILSWater pump wheel 3D-shaped for increased efficiency
Integrated heat exchanger with increased capacity for cooling the RC8 R engine (oil and water)
1190RC8R
TRANSMISSIONTotally reworked gearbox for significantly faster, smoother and easier gear changes
Radially mounted clutch master cylinder with stiffer clutch springs to withstand the increased power and torque for improved durability of the clutch under most extreme race track conditions
1190RC8R
1190RC8R
TRANSMISSIONImproved gear shifting through a new gear selector design combined with new softer springs on the selector shaft and detent lever
New shift drum with modified tracks with a new contour for smoother feel while shifting under load.
Reduced dog height and width improves gear engagement.
Old design New design
RC8 R CHASSIS DETAILSWP TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) coated inner tubes and piston rod
TiAlN-coating remarkably reduces stiction and friction and improves response characteristics
Sensitivity of the suspension elements rises significantly which improves the grip level and leads to a faster, smoother ride
TiAlN coating is 2.5 times more resistant than a chromium coating hardness rises from 1000 HV of a chromium surface to 2500 HV. (HV=Vickers Hardness Scale)
1190RC8R
RC8 R CHASSIS DETAILSWP 4354 – 43mm - 120mm travel – 9.5N/mm spring rate
Stiffer hydraulic setting compared to the 1190 RC8 increased damping settings for race track conditions
Fully CNC machined top triple clamp saves weight and underlines quality and top level appearance
Reduced triple clamp offset from 34mm to 28 mm. This increases trail from 91 to 97 mm
1190RC8R
Increased trail
Offset-------
RC8 R CHASSIS DETAILSWP 4014 race shock – 120 mm travel
Stiffer setting compared to the 1190 RC8 with increased damping settings for race track conditions
Reduced spring rate from 110 to 95 N/mm, provides an improved setting for track usage improves daily riding comfort
New rear linkage eccentric with a bigger range of adjustment - minimal to maximal rear height varies by 12 mm (7 mm at the 1190 RC8) - 1190 RC8 R is delivered in medium eccentric status (+/- 6 mm) same geometry as the 1190 RC8 (delivered with low eccentric position) – this allows a wider range of variation for easier adjustment to fit a larger choice of race tires.
1190RC8R
RC8 R BRAKE DETAILSFront: 2 x Brembo Monobloc 4-piston radially bolted fixed-caliper, 320 mm floating brake disc. Radially mounted master cylinder with Front/ Rear steel braided brake lines
Rear: Brembo 2-piston fixed caliper, 220 mm brake disc
Thickness of the front brake discs increased by 11% (+0.5 mm from RC8) for more stable temperatures under race conditions and extremely constant modulation and feeling
A one piece, monobloc caliper offers a more precise and steady brake performance without any deflection
1190RC8R
RC8 R WHEEL DETAILSForged Marchesini aluminum wheels
Compared to cast rims, forged aluminum rims are lighter (front: - 740 grams, rear: -330 grams), and reduce rotating and unsprung masses significantly. Provides for improved suspension response and reduced rotating inertia for better handling, acceleration and deceleration
Revised stiffness of the forged rear wheel eliminates squealing sound in the 1190 RC8 under excessive use of the rear brake
1190RC8R
RC8 R TIRE DETAILSReady to Race tires are standard
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP fulfill the 1190 RC8 R‘s “Ready to Race“ philosophy
Lightweight (front tire: 100 gram; rear tire: 100 gram), the tires further reduce weight and rotating inertia of the ultra- light wheels
Perfect for track day usage
1190RC8R
RC8 R DETAILSWind tunnel tested top speed package
Racing bubble windshield integrates the rider better into the 1190 RC8 R for track use and optimizes top speed and riding stability for even better lap times.
Carbon front fender weighs just 300 grams (-150 grams compared to the 1190 RC8) reducing unsprung mass around the front wheel. Mounted with 4 screws (1190 RC8: 6 screws) for an even quicker front wheel change under race conditions
1190RC8R
RC8 R DETAILS RIDER ADJUSTABILITYTwo different handlebar & foot peg settings
20 mm adjustable rear subframe allows seat height adjustments – 805mm > 825mm
12mm of rear shock linkage adjustments (ride height)
Clutch, brake, rear brake pedal and shifter lever and linkage adjustability
EasyClick passenger seat fixing
1190RC8R
RC8 R DETAILS WP adjustable steering damper
Electronically coded key to deter theft
Multi-function meter with Race and Road mode
1190RC8R
RC8 R DETAILS Rear wheel axle clamps and sprocket design for fast wheel & gearing changes. Rear stand spools are standard
Quick change license plate and turn signal assembly, mirrors, passenger seat and adjustable footpegs and clip- ons for street to track conversion
Weight – 401.2 lbs (w/ out fuel)
