Mengizinkan pasukan dan penunggang kami bersaing dalam acara MotoGP adalah lompatan besar dan saya tahu peminat MotoGP akan terkejut dan teruja dengan apa yang mereka lihat di COTA.”

Rainey meluaskan rasa terima kasih kepada MotoGP atas kerjasama mereka, serta kepada penaja Mission Foods and Parts Unlimited, dan pengeluar yang terlibat. Dia dengan penuh harapan menantikan reaksi padang MotoGP dan peminat untuk menyaksikan Baggers beraksi sepenuhnya.

Ia akan menjadi satu pemandangan yang menakjubkan untuk menyaksikan jentera V-Twin besar dan berat berlumba pada hujung minggu yang sama dan di litar yang sama dengan jentera perlumbaan MotoGP yang canggih.

Anda boleh menonton perlumbaan Mission King of The Baggers yang disampaikan oleh Drag Specialties secara langsung di Saluran YouTube MotoGP™, MotoAmerica Live+, MAVTV, dan saluran YouTube MotoAmerica.

Tahun Baru, Warna Baru – Rangkaian KTM RC Menerima Warna Dan Desain Baru!

KTM telah mendedahkan skema warna segar dan kemaskini grafik di seluruh rangkaian RC Supersportnya, mengambil inspirasi daripada prototaip masa lalu dan gabungan warna KTM Factory Racing.

Walaupun rangkaian itu kekal tidak berubah untuk tahun 2024, ia memperkenalkan pilihan warna premium baru yang terinspirasi daripada KTM RC 8C, KTM 1390 Super Duke R, dan livery pasukan perlumbaan Grand Prix yang ikonik.

Di puncak rangkaian, KTM RC 390 2024 memperkenalkan dua skema warna yang memikat: varian oren-ke-biru dan oren-ke-hitam. Kedua-duanya mempunyai rangka oren yang berbeza, dengan model oren-ke-hitam mempamerkan rim oren untuk kesan visual tambahan.

KTM RC 200 juga memperkenalkan dua corak warna baru, yang menggabungkan tema biru/oren yang sama bersama dengan reka bentuk hitam dan putih yang senyap yang mengingatkan kepada livery KTM RC 8C. Edisi ini lengkap dengan rangka hitam dan subrangka oren.

Pada tahap permulaan, KTM RC 125 2024 mempamerkan palet warna hitam-oren dan biru-oren yang baru, menawarkan titik permulaan dinamik untuk penunggang. Kedua-dua pilihan membanggakan roda dan rangka hitam bersinar, dan juga skrin berwarna gelap untuk menonjolkan sorotan berwarna.

Kemaskini ini lebih kepada latihan estetika, sebagai sedemikian tiada penambahbaikan yang telah dibuat kepada enjin, suspension atau sistem elektronik.

KTM Refreshes RC Supersport Range With New Colours And Graphics

KTM has unveiled fresh colour schemes and graphic updates throughout its RC Supersport range, drawing inspiration from past prototypes and the current Factory Racing colour combinations.

The KTM RC range epitomises the quintessential Supersport model within the KTM family, boasting new sports bike aesthetics, agile handling, and formidable performance both on the road and the racetrack.

While the range remains unaltered for 2024, it introduces new premium colour options inspired by the ultra-focused KTM RC 8C, KTM 1390 Super Duke R, and the iconic Grand Prix racing team liveries.

At the pinnacle of the line-up, the 2024 KTM RC 390 debuts two captivating colour schemes: orange-on-blue and orange-on-black variants. Both feature distinctive orange frames, with the orange-on-black model showcasing orange rims for added visual impact.

The market-specific KTM RC 200 also introduces two fresh colourways, incorporating a similar blue/orange theme alongside a stealthy black and white design reminiscent of the KTM RC 8C liveries. These editions come complete with black frames and orange subframes.

At the entry-level, the 2024 KTM RC 125 showcases all-new black-and-orange and blue-and-orange colour palettes, offering a dynamic starting point for riders. Both options boast gloss black wheels and frames, complemented by dark-tinted screens to accentuate the vivid colour highlights.

The 2024 KTM RC range remains deeply rooted in its racing heritage, boasting undeniable pedigree and featuring sharp, attention-grabbing Ready To Race colours to match.

Since this update is more of an aesthetics exercise, as such no improvements have been made to the powertrain, suspension or the electronics.
