Now in Malaysia is the 2026 KTM 990 RC R, bringing the Austrian brand back into the road-legal, full-fairing supersport segment with a 947 cc parallel-twin engine. The motorcycle is priced at RM113,000, excluding road tax, insurance and registration.
Distributed locally by Eurotech Group (ETG), the 990 RC R is designed for both road and circuit use, combining a race-inspired chassis and aerodynamic bodywork with adjustable suspension and a comprehensive electronics package. Its arrival also marks KTM’s return to the large-capacity KTM sportbike category last represented by models such as the RC8.
Power comes from KTM’s LC8c 947 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC parallel-twin engine, producing 128 PS at 9,500 rpm and 103 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and meets Euro 5+ emissions requirements.
