Getting a surprise unveil at EICMA 2026 is the 2028 KTM 450 RC, a new twin-cylinder supersport motorcycle targeting the entry and mid-capacity sportbike segment. Listed as a 2028 model, the 450 RC is expected to enter production in late 2027.
Developed with KTM-specific chassis engineering, suspension calibration and riding dynamics, the 450 RC is intended to bring the Austrian brand’s performance-focused approach to a smaller-capacity sportbike. Suspension is handled by fully adjustable WP APEX components at both ends.
