JAKARTA - Carrying the spirit of 'Ready To Race', KTM is again launching a motorcycle that can excite motorists to try it on the track, namely 990 RC R.

According to this company from Austria, this motor combines extraordinary engineering and DNA racing advantages that result in unmatched performance. More uniquely, this motor fulfills homologation for the use of the highway.

"KTM 990 RC R is an innovative innovation for motorists who like the cornering sensation," said Head of KTM Global Marketing Rian Neveling, quoted from the brand's official website, Thursday, May 9.

The 990 RC R model is built with a steel frame designed to drive dynamically, which also accommodates motorists in positioning angles to 25 degrees to improve the pleasant driving experience.

The enhanced stiffness provides the right taste and stability when accelerating on a bumpy road or on a race track while maintaining agility, especially at low speeds.

To increase the dynamic driving style, a suspension of open WP Apex cartridges can also be fully regulated, supported by light aluminum rims wrapped in Michelin tires.

In terms of performance, this motorbike is supported by an LC8c engine with a standard Euro5+ that can pump up to 128 ps of power and 103 Nm of torque. This force is channeled to a stainless steel exhaust and a shiftr that accommodates prime driving.

This racing-style motorbike will be produced at the Mattighofen factory, Austria, owned by KTM and will start the assembly phase in 2025. KTM 990 RC R will make its debut on track in the European Supersport racing series by becoming a wildcard participant.
