The RC 600C is the 1992 road-oriented version of Gilera's single-cylinder trail bike, with restyled bodywork and a revised cylinder head, plus Japanese-made forks according to the road test. It added electric starting and a higher compression ratio over the earlier Enduro, trading some off-road ability for road manners.
