2026 KTM 990 RC R – BUILT TO DOMINATE THE STREET AND THE CIRCUIT

The 2026 KTM 990 RC R is a modern interpretation of KTM’s legendary RC bloodline—engineered for riders who demand razor-sharp handling, explosive midrange power, and uncompromising race-bred design. Powered by a 947cc parallel-twin producing 127.84 PS and 103 Nm of torque, the RC R delivers the kind of acceleration that feels immediate, mechanical, and relentless.

At its core is a Chromium-Molybdenum steel frame using the engine as a stressed member, keeping weight centralized while maximizing rigidity and feedback. With a fully adjustable WP APEX suspension package and aggressive sport geometry, the 990 RC R is designed to carve canyon roads, dominate track days, and reward riders who demand surgical precision from their machine.

From its radially mounted four-piston front brakes to its compact 184 kg dry weight, every element of the 990 RC R reflects KTM’s race-first engineering mindset. This is not a softened sport bike. This is a purpose-built performance weapon—tuned for riders who live for throttle response, corner speed, and the unmistakable feel of a true KTM sport machine.
