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.
