This press release has: 27 Images 2 Documents
The race-derived potential of the KTM 990 RC R has already been felt on the road, but this thrilling chameleon has changed its form: the 2026 KTM 990 RC R TRACK has arrived and is a stripped-back, souped-up adrenaline monster primed for circuit use. This machine is desperate for speed and hungry for a target.
Almost everything about the new KTM 990 RC R TRACK can be determined by numbers.
 
0: compromises for a pure-bred non-street legal supersport motorcycle. Lights, mirrors, side-stand and other street requirements are gone, replaced by a high value – but also entry-level friendly – race-ready configuration. Low maintenance, easy to repair and detailed dealer support are other characteristics. More examples? The fairing is made from injected plastic for personal decals and graphics. The windscreen is a bit higher for a full tuck position. There is a wet weather taillight and paddock stand supplied as standard, while the controls and dash have been simplified for the track.
 
2: Michelin Power Slick tires in sizes 120/70-R17 and 190/55-R17 for the track. As well as fully adjustable, state-of-the-art WP APEX suspension carrying settings that have been honed through countless testing laps around some of the most prominent motorsport circuits in the world.
 
3: Track Modes. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK shaves over four pounds through a more compact electronics system. Racers can set-up their bike to harness the most of their tires, power and fuel and for the demands of a session through three easily customizable Track Modes. There are possibilities for Throttle Response, Motorcycle Traction Control, Slip adjustment, Anti Wheelie Mode, Launch Control and Engine Brake. Also count on a Pit limiter, Quickshifter+ and all the lap information needed through a sharp 4.2” full color TFT.
 
(RC)16: KTM’s MotoGP™ top speed record holder was the inspiration and the foil for the KTM 990 RC R TRACK’s aerodynamic profile. Wings and edges have been sculpted for the best downforce and corner performance for entry, grip and stability on acceleration. The 4.14 gallon (15.7 liter) fuel tank and reworked seat (33.7 in/857 mm height) are key areas of the sporty ergonomics with six useful contact points to allow the rider to glide around the motorcycle with ease, but also with attacking purpose.
 
320: mm of the Brembo HyPure front disc with next generation of the 4-piston engineering, meaning a more linear feel, a constant pressure point, less lever pull, and better modulation. A 240 mm rear disc complements the system that is also sports-orientated and upgraded for performance compared to the ABS-modulated outfit for the KTM 990 RC R.
 
947: cc of torque-filled blast. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK increases the horsepower and RPM limits. It all comes from a parallel twin DOHC LC8c engine that already makes the KTM 990 RC R one of the most compact packages on the market and one of the best for power-to-weight. The Akrapovič Evolution line exhaust system, made from stainless steel and weighing just 7.2 lb (3 kg), hones the 98.2 dB output further as riders thunder through the racing gearbox (with longer first and shorter sixth).
 
The KTM 990 RC R TRACK was unveiled at the 2025 launch of its sister model, the same time that KTM announced the KTM 990 RC R CUP – a cost-controlled, professionally organized six-round European race series for real riders (not pros!). Participants have the extra bonus of receiving their KTM 990 RC R TRACK motorcycles first! Find out more information HERE. The KTM 990 RC R TRACK is the ultimate refined – but still unfiltered – motorcycle for circuit thrills and for abuse of the stopwatches.
 
“The beauty of the KTM 990 RC R was the ease with which we could make only a few adjustments and have the KTM 990 RC R TRACK ready to go,” says KTM Head of Global Marketing, Riaan Neveling. “Our history and achievements on the asphalt informed a lot of the KTM 990 RC R TRACK and the KTM 990 RC R range. We took on this project knowing that we wanted to send our customers’ heart rates racing as well! That was the goal and the KTM 990 RC R TRACK is our best definition of a sportbike yet. We hope to see as many of them as possible through apexes of the KTM 990 RC R CUP!”
 
What’s left to measure? Look in the mirror.
 
The KTM 990 RC R TRACK will ship to customers and to authorized KTM dealers from Spring of 2026 onward.
