🔧 KTM LC8 75° V-Twin 1,301cc
The KTM LC8 (Liquid Cooled 8-valve) V-twin is the core of KTM's performance adventure and naked models. Its 75° bank angle creates a firing order that gives a characteristic sound and feel — more linear than a 90° V-twin but more characterful than a parallel twin. The 1,301cc version produces 173 hp and powers the 1290 Super Duke R and 1290 Adventure.
