KTM 990 RC R Track Version Unveiled With Race-Spec Parts And Lower Weight

The KTM 990 RC R Track has made its global debut as the circuit-only version of the upcoming 990 RC R supersport. The most important change is focused on shedding maximum weight with the help of racing bodywork and removing all road components. For Indian customers, this is less about the product and more about KTM planning to offer a large-capacity RC range above the RC 390. The Track variant demonstrates the performance potential and racing capability available in the 990 RC R range. It also confirms that the standard 990 RC R is the only road-going variant with any hope of relevance in the Indian market if KTM launches its high-end sportbike range in the country.

The engine base is the same 990 cc LC8c parallel twin found in the base model 990 RC R. However, the power output has gone up to 135 hp (about 5 hp increase), while the torque now stands at 105 Nm.

KTM’s focus is not on maximum power gain but on enhanced power-to-weight ratio through weight reduction and racing components. The electronics package is set up for track use, with sophisticated rider aid system adjustment appropriate for the circuit conditions.
