Since then the journey to a next-gen, track focused, performance-orientated Supersport motorcycle for the street has led to this: the KTM 990 RC R. Primed to lay rubber on any apex thanks to precision and specific high-grade parts but also shift that sporty character to the practicality of the public road, the KTM 990 RC R is the definitive KTM expression of intent and engineering. Born, bred and built in Austria: do they come any more READY TO RACE?

Bodywork

The KTM 990 RC R design language is singular and unmistakable. Turn on the TV during 22 weekends of the year and the aerodynamic and performance-thinking profiles of the KTM RC16s on the MotoGP grid will hit a chord. Mask shape, belly wings, and the wings on the front: they all look striking but also help with cooling and downforce, and therefore stability and braking performance. In terms of looks, is there a more razor-focused option on two wheels? Breathe it in. And would you like it in Electronic Orange or Black Metallic?

Adjustablity

Be what you want it to be, be what you want to be. A pure-bred Supersport motorcycle like the KTM 990 RC R is a rare piece of high-tech clay, waiting to be shaped and customized for road or race. From the fully adjustable WP APEX front suspension to the movable footpegs and to the myriad of Ride Modes and settings as well as a gallery of KTM PowerParts accessories and additions, the choice is vast when it comes to dialing in the ideal sport-focused set-up. Commitment is the final ingredient to power ahead of the pack.

TFT Display

The new 8.8" landscape TFT dashboard has established a benchmark in the industry. Clarity and functionality are now premium attributes of this control 'hub' and window for the modes, settings, maintenance and connection with the KTM 990 RC R. The redesign for the new TFT prioritized intuitive use. With improved readability and optimization, it is absolutely READY TO RACE, especially for track purposes with the information racers would expect. Full information is available in the KTM TECH GUIDE.

poise & purpose

Engine

The 947 cc, parallel twin LC8c has been harnessed even further thanks to a tweaked engine map and 100% full throttle opening position to suit the needs of the KTM 990 RC R and the most compact twin in the segment. The impressive engine breathes through a new stainless steel, centralized exhaust muffler, which also helps to urge the whole show to gobble straights and slice corners.

Ride Modes

The KTM 990 RC R stands on the cutting edge of electronic possibilities: mold the bike as you want it for any given lap or ride-out. A new Ride Mode concept affords detailed customization. Four standard modes - Rain, Street, Sport and the Custom option - offer next-level personalization, while the additional trio of performance-based Track and Custom configurations are available as technical accessories.

Track Mode

The KTM 990 RC R punches hard above its weight with optional Track Mode. Take what you need, drop what you do not. Launch Control takes centerstage away the starting line. Then, also in Track Mode, the Anti-wheelie can be set to five levels, from very low to very high and turned off. The same for throttle response and four options for ABS: Road is the standard option while riders have the option to choose Sport (intervenes later, less rear wheel lift and less cornering intevension), Supermoto+ (lock the rear wheel for a limited amount of time) and Supermoto. A telemetry screen is thrown in for good measure for those who wish to review even more data on the go.

performance & edge

Ergonomics

The KTM 990 RC R's ergonomics are standout. To ensure that the rider is integrated in a way to grapple the Supersport DNA of the bike without compromising day-to-day comfort and practicality, KTM has fashioned a tank shape with 6 contact points. The form of the product will suit a wide range of heights and permits the rider to 'glide' around the motorcycle while still being able to exert control through legs, knees and arms. The KTM 990 RC R has aluminum clip-on handlebars, adjustable levers and adjustable footpegs: the standard 'street' setting can be moved 25 mm back and 17 mm higher for a more racing 'track' poise and more influence for full lean angles.

Seat

More MotoGP genes can be spotted through the KTM 990 RC R seat and the formation on top of the fairing and Supersport aesthetic. The seat height is 33.2 in (845 mm), with ground clearance at 163 mm with a 1,481 mm wheelbase so the KTM 990 RC R can get cranked over with no concerns. Click a pillion seat cover into place through the KTM PowerParts catalogue for the full racing style.

Controls

Swift reactions for fast and thrilling saddle time also requires instinctive and easy operation. For this reason the KTM 990 RC R benefits from a new handlebar layout and switchcube system to cycle through the options and choices illustrated by the TFT. Better ergonomics, quality hardware with less friction, 6-way interaction, improved haptics. The KTM 990 RC R's 'cockpit' is simpler than its MotoGP cousin but just as thorough when it comes to crafting the right ride for the right moment.

the best line

Brakes

The KTM 990 RC R will take you to the brink of your abilities. Part of the adrenaline surge is bringing the whole show to a stop: or at least the best speed for any corner! For this the latest premium tech from industry leaders Brembo is the sole resource. HyPure calipers is the next generation of the 4-piston engineering, meaning a more linear feel, a constant pressure point, less lever pull, and better modulation. The system surrounds two highly resilient 320 mm Brembo discs and a single piston unit will grab a 240 mm Galfer rear disc. Dependable, effective and exciting.

Chassis

The KTM 990 RC R has two strong characteristics: it's a saliva-inducing track tool as well as an acute expression of sports performance for the street with all the criteria necessary. To these ends the chassis geometry is weighted and fixed accordingly with an emphasis of 52.5% to 47.5% front/rear. The offset is measured at 33 mm with a steering angle at 25 degrees (per side) for improved steering sensation and a planted front end. The aluminum diecast swingarm with a linkage construction brings increased flex for better stability, and manageability for bumpy track and street surfaces, of this 405.6 lb/184 kg (dry weight) rocket.

FORKS

Confidence and belief in the front end of the KTM 990 RC R is the basis for the commitment to any curve regardless of the route or the layout. Rising to the task is a WP Suspension 48 mm WP APEX Open Cartridge upside-down fork that has 130 mm of travel. The settings have been developed on the track with full sensibility for the street and each fork is surrounded by freshly designed 33 mm black anodized triple clamps for high-performance maneuvers. The forks are fully adjustable, with 30 clicks for both compression and rebound and 6 mm of preload. The equipment will assist precise riding but at the same time is simple to dial-in and inspires confidence from the first time you drop into a turn, whether dragging a knee or exploring the road ahead.
