01. Engine & Exhaust

Cylinder head
Exactly like on our LC8 engines, the four valves in the cylinder head of the KTM RC 200 are actuated by two overhead camshafts and ultra-hard, carbon coated cam followers, providing reliability and longevity despite the engine's high power output.


Injection
The intricate engine design, state-of-the-art injection electronics and the close-ratio, 6-speed transmission not only help the KTM RC 200 to achieve impressive performance, but also extremely low fuel consumption. At the same time, thanks to the regulated catalytic converter, it produces minimal emissions.


Engine
The state-of-the-art, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with twin overhead camshafts and electronic fuel injection, provides outstanding power on the open road and thanks to the balancer shaft, delivers the highest levels of smoothness around city streets. The engine is equipped with an electric starter and achieves its peak power of 19 kW (26 hp) with incredibly punchy torque. Perfect for riders who like to leave traffic in their wake.


Exhaust
The compact underbelly, three-chamber silencer is positioned close to the bike's overall center of gravity. This helps keep the bike's balance centered and eliminates any chance of accidental contact between the exhaust and both the rider's and passenger's legs.
