The wait is over. The 2026 KTM 990 RC R has landed and it’s everything Supersport fans have been asking for. Built for sharp handling, fast track days and real-world road riding, this new machine blends performance and practicality in a way only KTM can.
With aggressive styling, smart tech and punchy power, the 990 RC R takes its place at the front of KTM’s street line-up. Whether you’re chasing apexes or just want a bike that looks like it belongs on the MotoGP grid, this one ticks all the right boxes.
At the heart of the 990 RC R is KTM’s trusted LC8c engine, delivering 130 PS and 103 Nm of torque. It’s EURO5+ compliant and feels quick, responsive and confident at any speed. The chassis is purpose-built too, combining a steel frame, die-cast aluminium subframe and adjustable ergonomics to give you the best of both agility and comfort.

The riding position is READY TO RACE but still practical for everyday use, with a supportive six-point contact patch at the tank, pegs, seat and bars. Adjustable footrests and a 16-litre fuel tank add further comfort and convenience.
The styling leaves no doubt about the bike’s track inspiration. Aerodynamically tested and shaped using KTM’s own racing data, the wind-tunnel-developed fairing, striking orange or black colour options and sharp angles deliver real presence on the road.
Underneath the bodywork, you’ll find a spec sheet that’s all business:
With added telemetry like lean angle and throttle position tracking, the 990 RC R gives riders detailed feedback to keep them in control, on the road or on the circuit.
For riders focused purely on racing, the KTM 990 RC R TRACK version is also now available. This track-only machine skips road components in favour of race-focused upgrades, including:
It’s a purpose-built race bike, developed at KTM’s Mattighofen factory to get you closer to the limit from the first lap.

The KTM 990 RC R and 990 RC R TRACK are now available at AMS motorcycles. With real racing pedigree, advanced electronics and rider-focused ergonomics, this is Supersport done the KTM way.
