PurposeBuilt primarily for track days and aggressive sport riding, with razor-sharp cornering ability as its core purpose.
Rider FitThe committed sportbike riding position, high footpegs, and tall, firm seat demand good flexibility and strength, especially on longer rides.
CharacterA visceral, high-revving V-twin superbike with race-derived chassis geometry that rewards precise, committed inputs.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up riding.

2010 KTM 1190 RC8 R Red Bull 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 Red Bull 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.
