DescriptionThe whole story

Born on the circuit and built for the road, the GBRacing clutch cover protector for the KTM RC8 and RC8R 1190 carries genuine motorsport heritage in every detail — a purpose-engineered guard that defends one of the most expensive components on your engine without compromising the bike's aggressive aesthetic.

Key Features

  • Designed specifically for the KTM RC8 and RC8R 1190 (2008–2016) — precise OEM-matched fitment with no modifications required
  • Constructed from a next-generation high-impact composite of 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon, delivering exceptional impact resistance at minimal weight
  • Fully bolted installation — no adhesive, no compromise; hardware is included in the box
  • Shields the clutch cover from costly crash damage on track days, spirited road riding and even low-speed tip-overs
  • Clean, purposeful motorsport finish that complements the RC8's angular bodywork rather than detracting from it
  • Mounting hardware included — everything needed for a straightforward installation is supplied

Design, Finish and Heritage

GBRacing's reputation was forged in British Superbike and international endurance racing, where engine protection is not optional — it is mandatory. That uncompromising philosophy is expressed in this clutch cover protector: the high-impact glass-fibre reinforced nylon composite is not simply a low-cost plastic shield but a material developed specifically to absorb and deflect impact energy while resisting cracking or shattering on contact with tarmac. The result is a component that looks at home on a machine as purposeful as the KTM RC8R — no crude edges, no afterthought aesthetic, just a well-resolved guard that belongs on the bike.

Performance and Protection

A dropped KTM at track speed or even at a standstill can crack the factory clutch cover and leave you with an oil leak, a stranded machine and a significant repair bill. The GBRacing protector absorbs that energy before it reaches the casting. The bolted-on mounting method is critical here: adhesive-backed guards peel away or creep under heat and vibration; this cover is secured mechanically, so it stays in position regardless of conditions. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools, with all mounting hardware supplied.
