KTM will deploy a third officially-supported motorcycle in the IDM (International German Superbike Championship) together with Akrapovic, which participated in the development of the first KTM RC8R IDM Superbike right from the beginning of the project. A unique Akrapovic design has been created for the third KTM Superbike which demonstrates the very special relationship between the two companies. To crown this unique cooperation, KTM is offering for sale in autumn just 100 units of a “Limited Edition” replica of the Jeremy McWilliams IDM Superbike. Thanks to its special Club Race Kit that includes the Akrapovic EVO4 exhaust system and the machine’s 180 hp performance, this is a race replica that is both licensed for use on the road and a potent Superbike on the racetrack.
