Why the Evotech Performance Radiator Guard Should Be the First Upgrade on Your KTM 990 RC R

If you just bought a KTM 990 RC R, there’s one upgrade that makes more sense than anything else you could do first: radiator protection. Not a flashy mod. Not a power part. A radiator guard.

Why? Because the radiator is one of the most exposed and easiest-to-damage components on a modern sportbike, and it only takes one unlucky hit from a stone or road debris to turn your ride into an expensive problem. Evotech Performance puts it plainly: the thin aluminum cooling fins bend easily (and bent fins can restrict airflow and contribute to overheating), and the radiator core itself can be holed by stones kicked up by the front tire or surrounding traffic. That’s exactly the kind of failure that ruins a weekend and drains a wallet.

The fix is simple and smart: install a purpose-built guard designed to stop impacts while keeping airflow moving. That’s what the Evotech Performance Radiator Guard (Black) for the KTM 990 RC R (2026+) was made to do.

This is Evotech Performance’s radiator guard kit for the KTM 990 RC R, product reference PRN019874 (also shown as PRN019874-01). It’s designed to protect your radiator from stones, debris, and other junk that can damage fins or puncture the core, while still allowing cooling air to pass through efficiently.

The radiator is mission-critical. Protecting it early is one of those rare upgrades that can literally prevent a ride-ending failure. As far as “first upgrades” go, this is as practical and high-ROI as it gets.
