The "" relates to the engine displacement as mandated by Moto3 technical regulations.
"GP" is short for Grand Prix, specifying the model to usage in Grand Prix racing, as opposed to its derivative models.
Technical Description
All components of the motorcycle frame and engine are developed in-house by KTM. The frame is a steel tubetrellis design, while the swingarm is of aluminium construction.
The cc four-strokesingle-cylinder engine is equipped by regulation with a limiter at 13, rpm (earlier 14, rpm, before Moto3 regulation changes), with maximum torque output beginning at around 10, rpm.[1] The engine feeds a 6-gear transmission according to regulations. Suspension components are developed and produced by KTM subsidiary WP Suspension.
The Slovenian manufacturer Akrapovič supplies the exhaust system. The braking system is supplied by Brembo and consists of two steel discs controlled by twin-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single disc on the rear wheel. The elliptical shaped air intake is placed on the front fairing, while the duct that connects it to the airbox passes under the steering head.

Derivative Models
RCR
Also known as the "Production Racer", KTM build a limited production of track-only bikes between and based on the RCGP known as the RCR.
It was intended to be a cheaper "entry level" model for private racers. The bike was subsequently entered as a number of one-off wildcard entries by various teams in the season. The RCR features a number of differences compared to the RCGP,[2][4] including
- slightly down-tuned engine producing 37kW (50bhp) 13, rpm and maximum torque of 28 Nm 11, rpm
- maximum engine speed is limited to 13, rpm
- simplified 2-into-1 titanium exhaust from Akrapovič (as opposed to the RCGP's twin-pipe system with one exhaust pipe per exhaust valve/port) with additional dB-killer
- triple clamps from milled aluminium (as opposed to magnesium on the RCGP)
- wheels changed to forged aluminium
- front brakes changed to a single Ø mm disc with Brembo 4-piston radial caliper
- rear brake changed to a caliper and master cylinder from the manufacturer Formula
- suspension changed to WP Suspension series-production components: Ø35 USD fork RCMA , rear monoshock BAVP
- ECU changed to an Athena GET unit (as opposed to the Moto3 series spec unit from Dellorto on the RCGP)
RCRBR
For the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, KTM prepares identical, sealed motorcycles for each rider.
The RCRBR is essentially an RCR featuring a few upgrades, such as an Akrapovič twin-pipe megaphone exhaust system without dB-killer, similar to the exhaust of the original RCGP.[2] Previously the engine rev limit was reduced to 13, rpm to aid in extending the service life of the engine,[2] but has since been raised to the 13, limit of the base RCR.
Husqvarna FRGP
KTM purchased Husqvarna Motorcycles from BMW Motorrad in early As a marketing move by KTM to promote its new brand, Husqvarna entered the Moto3 paddock as a unique manufacturer in the and seasons with its FRGP motorcycle. The FRGP is however simply a badge-engineered RCGP.[6] The "FR" designation comes from Husqvarna's series product naming conventions with the "F" signifying a four-stroke model and the "R" likely meaning "race".
Husqvarna re-entered Moto3 beginning in with Max Biaggi's team Max Racing.[7]
