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.

Built for the Track, Refined for the Road

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.

 

Racing DNA Meets Everyday Versatility

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:

• 320 mm Brembo HyPure brakes
  
  
• WP APEX suspension
  
  
• 8.8” TFT display with RAIN, STREET, SPORT and CUSTOM ride modes
  
  
• Optional TRACK mode and two extra CUSTOM modes
  
  
• Four ABS settings: STREET, SPORT, SUPERMOTO+ and SUPERMOTO
  
  

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.

 

Track Version Now Available

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:

• Direct brake lines
  
  
• Removed ABS modulator
  
  
• Track-tuned gearbox
  
  
• Reduced dash and race-spec electronics
  
  

It’s a purpose-built race bike, developed at KTM’s Mattighofen factory to get you closer to the limit from the first lap.

Order From AMS Now

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.

When the terrain gets tougher, the KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO gets better. Backed by years of success at the top level of Enduro competition, and already a firm favourite in the KTM line-up since its debut in 2024, the 2026 model builds on its formidable foundations with suspension upgrades, improved cooling and refined styling. 

Whether it’s Red Bull Romaniacs, Erzbergrodeo or your own local challenge, this is the bike engineered to handle it all.

Built on Championship-Proven Success

With Manuel Lettenbichler closing in on his fifth Enduro World Championship, his machine of choice needs no introduction. The KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO brings Factory Racing performance straight to you, combining KTM’s READY TO RACE DNA with proven podium pedigree.

The rear remains balanced thanks to an updated WP XPLOR PDS shock, fine-tuned for even better traction and control in extreme conditions.

Upgraded Cooling and Fuel Protection

To ensure top performance across long stages and hard climbs, the cooling system has had a makeover with a new radiator cap featuring a standard thread for faster access. A radiator fan is now fitted as standard, maintaining temperatures when airflow is limited.

On the fuel side, a new CPC fuel connector protection cap adds toughness while preventing water and dirt getting in.

Factory Looks with a Purpose

The 2026 KTM 300 EXC HARDENDURO arrives with a fresh graphics package, highlighted by KTM’s trademark orange frame, gloss finishes and a white and black colour palette. Finished with signature orange anodised PowerParts, the new look is aggressive and unmistakably factory.

HARDENDURO Equipment, Straight from the Start

GASGAS is going all-in for 2026 with an offroad range that’s sharper, stronger and even more fun to ride. 

From motocross to enduro, cross country to kids’ bikes, every model gets a fresh new look, performance-focused updates and that unmistakable GASGAS attitude. 

Whether you’re chasing lap times, picking lines through the woods or simply looking to get on the gas, there’s now even more to enjoy across the full range.

Bold New Look, Durable New Parts

Every model in the 2026 line-up receives a set of cosmetic and technical enhancements designed to boost performance and longevity while reinforcing the unmistakable red-hot GASGAS identity.

For 2026, all bikes now feature black rims, black NEKEN handlebars, and a matching black gripper seat cover, all tied together with new model-wide graphics and a reworked bar pad design. 

These aesthetic updates bring a clean, modern finish while staying true to the brand’s bold and playful character.

Beyond the visuals, durability has been improved. Every bike now comes with an updated fuel line protection cap and all 2-strokes receive improved wiring harness routing for better long-term reliability.

Motocross Gets More Grip, More Comfort

For motocross fans, the 2026 MC 125, MC 250, MC 250F and MC 450F return with their trademark agility and punch, now featuring MAXXIS MX-ST tyres, a WP XACT rear shock with 300 mm of travel and the much-loved WP XACT front fork with AER technology. 

The forks feature a hydrostop to soften hard landings and all suspension settings are now tool-free and rider adjustable.

2-stroke riders can also count on Throttle Body Injection with premix, while 4-stroke fans get the same explosive delivery and refined ride feel that made these bikes standouts in previous years.

Ready for the Next Generation

The GASGAS youth range is as strong as ever, with the MC 50, MC 65 and MC 85 offering options for all sizes and stages. For 2026, the smaller bikes get revised triple clamps, an updated cooling system and in the case of the MC 50 and MC 65, improved forks for a more planted feel and better control on track.

Enduro Models Built to Go Further

The EC 300, EC 350F and EC 500F headline the 2026 enduro line-up, each built to perform on everything from tight trails to brutal climbs. For 2026, the WP XPLOR open cartridge forks receive new settings, offering a smoother, more controlled ride across varied terrain.

At the back, updated valving inside the WP XACT shock improves performance and overall comfort. 

All enduro models are now fitted with radiator fans as standard, and MAXXIS MaxxEnduro tyres in a softer compound boost traction from the very first outing.

Cross Country Refined

The EX 300 remains the sole cross country model for 2026, offering a best-of-both-worlds package. It features a PANKL 6-speed transmission, a larger nine-litre fuel tank, and WP XACT Closed Cartridge forks borrowed from the motocross range. With DUNLOP GEOMAX AT82 tyres and an 18" rear wheel, the EX 300 blends long-range capability with sprint race speed and control.

Find Your 2026 Model

The new GASGAS 2026 offroad range will be arriving at AMS later this year. Please contact our team for full pricing and availability and prepare to ride full gas into the new season.

KTM has unveiled the 2026 EXC 6Days line-up – special edition Enduro machines built to mark the annual FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), which takes place in Bergamo, Italy this August.

Husqvarna has announced its 2026 Enduro line-up, with updates across all seven models to improve performance, handling and durability.

The wait is over. KTM has pulled the covers off the 2026 KTM Enduro range, bringing a full refresh of its class-leading offroad collection. With seven race-bred models updated for the year ahead, including both 2-stroke and 4-stroke machinery, this latest generation delivers sharper handling, improved durability, and a brand-new look. 

Whether you're climbing rocky trails, tackling Hard Enduro courses or just looking for the most capable dirt bike in the field, the 2026 range is READY TO RACE.

New Names, Same Winning DNA

The most immediate change for 2026 is the introduction of a new naming structure. The KTM 125 XC-W and KTM 250 XC-W replace the former EXC 2-strokes for off-road competition use. The KTM 300 EXC retains its name, serving as the sole EURO5+ compliant 2-stroke model in the line-up and the ideal choice for riders who want race-ready performance with road-legal credentials.

The full line-up includes:

2-stroke models: KTM 125 XC-W, KTM 250 XC-W, KTM 300 EXC
4-stroke models: KTM 250 EXC-F, KTM 350 EXC-F, KTM 450 EXC-F, KTM 500 EXC-F

Engineered for Every Condition

Each bike in the 2026 KTM Enduro line-up has been updated with KTM’s latest refinements in performance, handling and rider control. Built to excel in everything from tight woods to extreme terrain, the spec sheet delivers real-world advantages where they matter most:

• TBI fuel injection system (2-stroke models)
• Compact and responsive engines
• Hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded frames
• Lightweight aluminium subframes
• High-strength swingarms
• Forged triple clamps
• Brembo hydraulic brakes and clutch
• Neken handlebars
• Keihin throttle bodies
• ODI lock-on grips
• LED headlight
• Offroad Control Unit
• GIANT high-strength alloy rims
  
  

This combination of components brings race-grade capability to every ride, whether you're battling for position or carving your own trail.

Every bike in the 2026 range has been fine-tuned with KTM’s latest thinking on chassis dynamics, engine performance, and rider control. From the TBI fuel injection system in the 2-strokes to the compact, lightweight and responsive engines across the board, these are machines that thrive in the toughest enduro conditions.

KTM's hydro-formed, laser-cut, robot-welded frames are matched with aluminium subframes and high-strength swingarms for a perfect balance of flex and feedback. The component list reads like a race team wish list: forged triple clamps, Brembo brakes, Neken bars, Keihin throttle bodies, ODI lock-on grips, and a potent LED headlight all come as standard. The Offroad Control Unit and GIANT alloy rims bring further precision and durability to every ride.

Suspension Upgrades Lead the Charge

One of the biggest updates for 2026 comes in the form of a reworked 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork. New damping settings, lighter and shorter springs, and an updated pressure reservoir combine with a new hydro stop to improve both performance and rider confidence. KTM has also shaved 200 grams from the fork's overall weight—meaning better feedback and reduced fatigue.

At the rear, the signature WP XPLOR PDS shock gets the same attention, with revised internals focused on traction and stability. With no external linkages, maintenance remains quick and simple.

Cooling, Protection and Fine Details

A new CPC fuel connector protection cap has been added to all models to defend against water and dirt intrusion. The cooling system has also been enhanced, with a new radiator cap using a standard thread for easier access. Radiator fans are now fitted as standard on the KTM 300 EXC and all EXC-F models, improving heat management in low-speed or high-demand situations.

New Look, Same Ambition

Visually, the 2026 range is unmistakably KTM, but with added intensity. A more vibrant orange base, combined with red fork guards, black high-grip seat covers, and remodelled tank spoilers, creates a look that’s aggressive and functional. Airflow around the radiators has been improved and in-mould graphics keep the finish sharp under pressure. A new MaxxEnduro rear tyre compound from Maxxis rounds off the package with improved traction and feel.

Born from Competition, Ready for Every Ride

With countless hours of development in world-level enduro racing, the 2026 KTM Enduro range combines championship-winning DNA with practical refinements that benefit riders of every ability. These bikes are not just built to perform, they are designed to win.

PowerParts and PowerWear: Customise Your Ride

As always, the new Enduro range is backed by a full catalogue of KTM PowerParts and PowerWear, giving riders everything they need to personalise their bike, enhance performance or gear up for their next event.

Availability from September 2025

The 2026 KTM Enduro models will be available from AMS starting September 2025, with the KTM 300 EXC arriving in October. 

Please contact our team for more information.

The next generation of KTM motocross bikes has arrived. With the launch of the 2026 KTM SX range, riders of all ages and skill levels can now experience the most refined, competitive and READY TO RACE line-up to date. Featuring 10 models across the 2-stroke, 4-stroke and Sportminicycle categories, this updated collection is sharper, faster and tougher than ever.

From the KTM 50 SX for young racers to the KTM 450 SX-F, which has crushed the competition in MXGP and AMA Supercross, the latest range is built to push the boundaries on every lap. Available from August 2025, these bikes feature updated chassis components, refined suspension and bold new styling that mark a fresh chapter in KTM’s offroad progression.

 

Championship-Built Power and Precision

At the core of the full-size SX and SX-F models is the championship-winning formula of agile handling, explosive engine performance and class-leading electronics. Riders now have the option to enhance their setup with the Connectivity Unit Offroad, which when paired with the KTMconnect app, allows detailed tuning of engine maps, traction control and suspension settings to suit any track or rider preference.

These enhancements are more than skin-deep. A revitalised orange colour scheme is complemented by purple tank spoilers, purple fork guards, a black seat and powder-coated black frame, making the 2026 range instantly recognisable. Under the plastics, KTM has standardised the radiator closure for easier maintenance and access across the range and introduced a fuel injection unit protector cap on applicable models to improve durability.

Refined Durability Across the 2-Stroke Line-Up

In the 2-stroke line-up, the KTM 125 SX, 250 SX and 300 SX benefit from updated wiring harness routing, with refined fixing points to improve weather resistance and reliability over time.

 

Racing Starts Early: Sportminicycles Reimagined

At the other end of the spectrum, KTM continues to lead the field with its Sportminicycle range. The KTM 50 SX, 50 SX FACTORY EDITION, 65 SX and 85 SX are purpose-built to help young riders progress from their first laps to national-level racing. For 2026, these bikes feature several important updates that align them more closely with the full-size machines, giving youngsters the best possible bikes to develop their skills.

New Suspension and Stronger Components for Youth Models

The KTM 50 SX and KTM 65 SX are now equipped with a new WP XACT AER front fork, offering improved damping and a redesigned air cartridge and sealing system for better ride quality and adjustability. The triple clamps on all Sportminicycles now match the full-size range, using a 17 mm wrench size and a closed screw nut format to improve protection against water and dirt.

KTM has also improved resistance across the board. A new throttle cable stabilisation cap prevents kinking, while the KTM 65 SX gains a reinforced clutch fixation system with higher torque resistance and pre-coating for improved long-term performance. All Sportminicycles now feature a laser-cut exhaust flange gasket, enhancing reliability and a redesigned exhaust valve ventilation system developed in Austria for greater durability.

 

Fit and Flexibility for Growing Racers

For growing racers, the KTM 85 SX offers additional flexibility thanks to a new rear brake lever with two adjustable length settings, helping riders fine-tune the ergonomics during the transition from smaller machines.

 

Factory-Level Flair for Future Champions

Meanwhile, the KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION gives young talent a boost of factory flair with READY TO RACE PowerParts, race replica graphics and enhanced components to help close the gap between junior aspirations and podium reality.

 

Ready to Race from Autumn 2025

Across the range, the 2026 KTM SX range reflects KTM’s commitment to delivering race-winning performance, championship-ready hardware and the most complete platform for every stage of a rider’s journey. Whether it’s their first ride or their fiftieth gate drop, KTM’s latest motocross machines are engineered to inspire confidence, progression and podiums.

Available from AMS in Autumn 2025, the new SX range offers an unrivalled blend of performance, technology and durability. From minis to full-size machines, KTM continues to raise the bar in motocross.

Welcome aboard. We’re here to keep you riding.

 

For riders determined to tackle the toughest terrain on Earth, the arrival of the 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA sets a new benchmark in elite offroad engineering.

With just 150 units worldwide, this is KTM’s most impressive customer race bike yet. Born from Dakar victories and refined through years of competition, it is READY TO RACE straight out of the crate.

Built on a Legacy of Dakar Dominance

Drawing on the experience of KTM’s most decorated champions including Marc Coma, Matthias Walkner, Toby Price, Kevin Benavides and Daniel Sanders, the 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is a product of relentless development at the highest level of rally raid.

After a complete overhaul ahead of this year’s Dakar, where Sanders claimed a dominant win and Edgar Canet topped the Rally2 class, the latest model delivers unrivalled performance and durability.

Further sealing its reputation, Emanuel Gyenes rode the RALLY REPLICA to victory in the unsupported Original by Motul class. This completed an all-KTM class podium in one of the most demanding events on the planet.

Proven Power, Purpose-Built Performance

At its heart is a 450 cc fuel-injected SOHC engine, paired with a six-speed gearbox and KTM’s premium hydraulic clutch. Engineered for reliability and control, it is supported by dual radiators that keep temperatures stable through extreme stages.

The hand-welded chassis, crafted at the official KTM Motorsports facility, uses laser-cut, hydro-formed sections for exceptional rider feedback and durability. Combined with a die-cast aluminium swingarm, the result is straight-line stability and agile handling over varied terrain.

Fuel autonomy is covered by three integrated tanks, two at the front and one at the rear, offering a combined 34.5 litres for long stages without compromise.

Factory-Level Suspension and Cockpit Ergonomics

When it comes to comfort, control and adaptability, KTM has gone all in. The 2026 model features:

• WP XACT PRO 7548 Closed Cartridge Cone Valve Forks (48 mm)
  
  
• CNC-machined triple clamps with 23 mm offset
  
  
• PHDS system and SCOTTS steering damper
  
  
• WP XACT PRO 7750 adjustable rear shock
  
  

The carbon fibre navigation tower, rally dashboard, and aerodynamically optimised fairing have been refined over a decade to reduce fatigue and improve airflow. Long days in the saddle are made manageable by details that put rider comfort first.

Other standout features include a powerful LED headlight, integrated safety tools, and a low overall weight that ensures nimble handling through dunes, rocks and ravines.

Developed, Assembled and Delivered by KTM Motorsports

The 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is built entirely by the official KTM Motorsports facility in Austria. This is not a mass-market trail bike. It is a purpose-built rally machine, fine-tuned for cross-country stages and desert dominance.

Whether you’re chasing the dream of Dakar or tackling your own rally ambitions, this is the bike that makes no compromises.

Order Now Before It’s Gone

Pre-orders are now available from AMS motorcycles with collection scheduled for September / October 2026. With availability for this new model strictly limited, be sure to secure your 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA before it's gone.

Manuel Lettenbichler has claimed his fourth straight victory at the 2025 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, once again proving his dominance in hard enduro. The brutal 35 km course at Austria’s ‘Iron Giant’ saw 500 riders take to the start, but only 14 made it to the finish after 4 hours of intense racing. 

Lettenbichler powered through the extreme terrain in 2 hours, 49 minutes, leading the field with confident pace across all 27 checkpoints and sealing yet another statement win for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing TeamAMS.

Engineered to Perform

The 2025 EXC Champions Edition is READY TO RACE from every angle. The gloss orange frame is not only eye-catching, but specifically designed for longitudinal rigidity and high-speed stability. Its ultra-light subframe blends polyamide and reinforced aluminium, flexing in a crash to reduce damage while housing the Offroad Control Unit under the seat for easy fault detection. No fuses, no hassle – just trail-ready simplicity.

Air intake is managed by a smartly designed air filter box fitted with a Twin Air filter, splash protector and fail-proof mounting system, allowing tool-free access for quick changes. A transparent 9-litre XPE fuel tank, complete with a new fuel tank roll and simplified fuel pump layout, provides dependable range and easy servicing.

Riders also benefit from a Red Bull graphic kit, Factory seat, frame protection set, orange front axle puller, skid plate, and CNC-machined triple clamps.
