Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a track-focused superbike best suited to experienced, skilled riders who can manage its razor-sharp responses and high power-to-weight ratio.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed cornering and track riding, with a limited-edition Akrapovic exhaust reinforcing its performance-oriented, sporting character.
Rider FitThe low, aggressive riding position and high, firm seat demand a fit, flexible rider comfortable with committed forward-leaning ergonomics.
CharacterA sharp, race-bred V-twin superbike that rewards precise inputs with explosive acceleration and razor-edge handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed, upright touring experience.

2010 KTM 1190 RC8 R Akrapovic Limited Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 KTM 1190 RC8 R Akrapovic Limited Edition, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
