== History ==
[[File:Hans_Trunkenpolz_und_Ernst_Kronreif.jpg|thumb|upright|Hans Trunkenpolz and Ernst Kronreif]]

=== Early years ===
In 1934, Austrian engineer Johann (Hans) Trunkenpolz (1909–1962)<ref>{{cite web |title=Hans Trunkenpolz |url=http://www.salzburg.com/wiki/index.php/Hans_Trunkenpolz |access-date=2013-06-23 |website=salzburg.com}}</ref> set up a fitter's and car repair shop<ref>{{cite web |title=KTM Group |url=http://www.ktmgroup.com/globalassets/media/files/financial-reports/2016/ktm-ag-gb2015-e.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205022028/http://www.ktmgroup.com/globalassets/media/files/financial-reports/2016/ktm-ag-gb2015-e.pdf |archive-date=5 February 2018 |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=ktmgroup.com}}</ref> in [[Mattighofen]]. In 1937, he started selling [[DKW]] motorcycles, and [[Opel]] cars the following year. His shop was known as ''Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen'', but the name was unregistered. During the [[Second World War]], his wife took care of the business which was thriving mainly on account of diesel engine repairs.<ref>{{cite web |title=KTM-Motorfahrzeugbau KG, Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen |url=http://www.salzburg.com/wiki/index.php/KTM#Geschichte |access-date=2013-06-23 |website=salzburg.com}}</ref>

After the war, demand for repair works fell sharply and Trunkenpolz started thinking about producing his own motorcycles. The prototype of his first motorcycle, the R100, was built in 1951.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Short Background of KTM Bicycles |url=http://www.ktm-bikes.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810165919/http://ktm-bikes.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53 |archive-date=2013-08-10 |access-date=2013-06-23 |website=ktm-bikes.co.za}}</ref> The components of the motorcycle were produced in house, except for the [[Rotax]] engines which were made by [[ZF Sachs|Fichtel & Sachs]]. Serial production of the ''R100'' started in 1953. With just 20 employees, motorcycles were built at a rate of three per day.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Look Back – Motorcycles |url=http://web.pdx.edu/~sprague2/HistKTM/index.html |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=web.pdx.edu}}</ref>

=== KTM 1953–1991 ===
In 1953, businessman Ernst Kronreif became a major shareholder of the company, which was renamed and registered as ''Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen''. In 1954, the ''R125 Tourist'' was introduced,<ref>{{cite web | url= https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear-1954-1000th-ktm-is-a-r-125-tourist/ | title= R125 Tourist | date= 25 March 2014 | access-date= 2017-05-27 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> followed by the Grand Tourist<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1955-ktm-presented-ktm-grand-tourist-at-the-vienna-international-spring-fair/ | title=Grand Tourist | date=6 March 2015 | access-date=2017-05-27 | archive-date=7 October 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007223203/https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1955-ktm-presented-ktm-grand-tourist-at-the-vienna-international-spring-fair/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> and the [[Scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] Mirabell<ref>{{cite web |date=11 December 2015 |title=Mirabell Scooter |url=https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1955-ktm-presents-the-mirabell-scooter/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907095240/https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1955-ktm-presents-the-mirabell-scooter/ |archive-date=7 September 2017 |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=ktm.com}}</ref> in 1955.

The company secured its first racing title in the 1954 Austrian 125cc national championship.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2008/02/article/ktm-motorcycle-history/ | title=KTM Motorcycle History | access-date=2017-05-27 | archive-date=21 May 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521080417/http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2008/02/article/ktm-motorcycle-history/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1956, KTM made its appearance at the [[International Six Days Enduro|International Six Days Trials]], where Egon Dornauer won a gold medal on a KTM machine.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://web.pdx.edu/~sprague2/HistKTM/index.html | title=Dornauer wins on KTM | access-date=2017-05-27}}</ref>

In 1957, KTM built its first sports motorcycle, the ''Trophy 125cc''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Trophy 125cc |url=http://web.pdx.edu/~sprague2/HistKTM/index.html |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=web.pdx.edu}}</ref> KTM's first [[moped]], named ''Mecky'', was launched in 1957, followed by ''Ponny I'' in 1960 and ''Ponny II'' in 1962 and ''Comet'' in 1963.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1964-ktm-stages-a-comeback-at-the-six-days-on-factory-bikes/ | title=KTM stages a comeback at the six days on factory bikes | date=23 April 2014 | access-date=2017-05-27 | archive-date=14 April 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414040446/https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1964-ktm-stages-a-comeback-at-the-six-days-on-factory-bikes/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> The 1960s also saw the beginning of bicycle production in Mattighofen.

Ernst Kronreif died in 1960.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.salzburg.com/wiki/index.php/Ernst_Kronreif | title=Ernst Kronreif | access-date=2017-05-27}}</ref> Two years later in 1962,<ref>{{cite web |title=Hans Trunkenpolz |url=http://www.salzburg.com/wiki/index.php/Hans_Trunkenpolz |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=salzburg.com}}</ref> Hans Trunkenpolz also died of a heart attack. His son, Erich Trunkenpolz, took charge of the company's management.

As the company continued to expand, the workforce totaled 400 in 1971, and forty years after it was founded, KTM was offering 42 different models. Additionally, KTM was able to produce motorcycles for the racing industry. During the 1970s and 80s, KTM also started to develop and produce engines and [[Radiator (engine cooling)|radiators]]. Radiators sold to European car manufacturers constituted a sizable part of the company's business in the 1980s.<ref name="KTM1">{{cite web |title=KTM Geschichte |url=http://www.ktm-ulrich.ch/index.php?id=29 |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=ktm-ulrich.ch |language=de}}</ref>

In 1978,<ref>{{cite web |title=1978 in KTM history |url=http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2008/02/article/ktm-motorcycle-history/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170521080417/http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/2008/02/article/ktm-motorcycle-history/ |archive-date=21 May 2017 |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=motorcycle-usa.com}}</ref> US subsidiary ''KTM North America Inc.'' was founded in [[Lorain, Ohio]].

In 1980, the company was renamed ''KTM Motor-Fahrzeugbau KG''.<ref name="KTM1" /> One year later, KTM had about 700 employees and a turnover of 750m. Schilling (about 54.5m. euros). International business then amounted to 76% of the company's turnover.<ref name="KTM1" />

However, scooter and moped turnover sank rapidly, and production had to be halted in 1988.<ref name="KTM1" /> Erich Trunkenpolz died in 1989. Takeover of a 51% interest in the company by the Austrian investment trust GIT Trust Holding controlled by Austrian politician Josef Taus in 1989 was followed by unsuccessful attempts to turn the indebted company around,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eToxUA1LZbsC&q=GIT+KTM+1989&pg=RA3-PA29 | title=Cycle World Magazine, April 1992 | access-date=2017-05-27}}</ref> and in 1991, management of KTM was transferred to a consortium of creditor banks.

=== Stefan Pierer Era ===
In 1991, the company was split into four new entities: KTM Sportmotorcycle GmbH (motorcycles division), KTM Fahrrad GmbH (bicycles division), KTM Kühler GmbH (radiators division) and KTM Werkzeugbau GmbH (tooling division).

Austrian Automotive entrepreneur Stefan Peirer took control of KTM Motorcycles in 1992 and later took over the sibling tooling division KTM Werkzeugbau. In the following years, while steadily increasing production and turnover, investing in new production and R&D facilities,<ref name="KTM2015">{{cite web |title=KTM Annual Report 2015 |url=http://www.ktmgroup.com/globalassets/media/files/financial-reports/2016/ktm-ag-gb2015-e.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205022028/http://www.ktmgroup.com/globalassets/media/files/financial-reports/2016/ktm-ag-gb2015-e.pdf |archive-date=5 February 2018 |access-date=2017-05-27 |website=ktmgroup.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.motofreak.de/167-motorraeder/ktm/245-die-firmengeschichte-von-ktm?showall=&start=10 | title=Die Firmengeschichte von KTM | language=de | access-date=2017-05-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.motofreak.de/167-motorraeder/ktm/245-die-firmengeschichte-von-ktm?showall=&start=11 | title=Die Firmengeschichte von KTM | language=de | access-date=2017-05-27}}</ref> introducing new models and successfully sponsoring and taking part in various sports racing events, the company underwent a series of restructurings and stakeholder changes guided by KTM's managing director Stefan Pierer.

In 1994, KTM started production of the ''Duke'' series of road motorcycles; in 1996, KTM motocross machines were first decked out in KTM's signature orange color,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1996-ktm-goes-orange/ | title=KTM goes orange | date=10 November 2016 | access-date=2017-05-27 | archive-date=4 July 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170704140110/https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear1996-ktm-goes-orange/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> and 1997 saw the introduction of liquid-cooled two-cylinder ''Supermoto'' and ''Adventure'' motorcycles. In 2007, the company debuted the KTM X-Bow sports car.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear2007-the-ktm-x-bow-makes-its-debut-at-the-geneva-international-motor-show/ | title=The KTM X-Bow makes its debut at the Geneva International Motor Show | date=7 March 2017 | access-date=2017-05-27 | archive-date=23 October 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023052559/https://blog.ktm.com/inthisyear2007-the-ktm-x-bow-makes-its-debut-at-the-geneva-international-motor-show/ | url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1995, KTM acquired Swedish motorcycle maker ''[[Husaberg|Husaberg AB]]'' and took control of the Dutch company ''[[WP Suspension]]''.

In 2007, Indian motorcycle manufacturer ''[[Bajaj Auto]]'' acquired a 14.5% stake in ''KTM''; which by 2013, increased to 47.97%.<ref>{{}}</ref>

In 2010 KTM Kühler divested their automotive radiator business to Mahle and the motorcycle radiator business to WP Suspension under WP Radiator brand.<ref>{{}}</ref>
In 2013, KTM acquired the formerly Swedish motorcycle maker ''Husqvarna Motorcycles'' from its prior owner ''BMW''.<ref name="KTM2015" /> The same year, KTM re-integrated the brand ''Husaberg'' into ''Husqvarna Motorcycles'' from which it had spun off in the 1990s when Husqvarna was sold to the Italian company [[Cagiva]].

In 2019, KTM acquired a majority stake of 60% in the Spanish enduro motorcycle brand GasGas.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-09-27 |title=KTM announces joint venture with Gas Gas |url=https://adbmag.com.au/editorial/ktm-announces-joint-venture-with-gas-gas/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250814144828/https://adbmag.com.au/editorial/ktm-announces-joint-venture-with-gas-gas/ |archive-date=2025-08-14 |access-date=2025-08-14 |website=Australasian Dirt Bike}}</ref> In 2020 GasGas became a wholly owned subsidiary of KTM.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-08-14 |title=GasGas Brand Milestones |url=https://www.gasgas.com/en-int/brand/milestones.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250814145503/https://www.gasgas.com/en-int/brand/milestones.html |archive-date=2025-08-14 |access-date=2025-08-14 |website=GasGas}}</ref>

In 2021 Bajaj Auto sold 46.5% of KTM's shares to Pierer Mobility AG in exchange for 49% shares in the latter company<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bajaj swaps shares in KTM with Pierer Group|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/bajaj-swaps-shares-in-ktm-with-pierer-group/article36748279.ece|access-date=2022-02-17|website=www.thehindubusinessline.com|date=30 September 2021 |language=en}}</ref> and thus became an indirect stakeholder in KTM.

In 2023 Pierer Mobility's financial situation became increasingly unsustainable and by 2024 they had a heavy debt to pay off.<ref>{{cite news |title=KTM: produrre in Europa costa troppo, 300 dipendenti in meno in Austria |url=https://www.dueruote.it/news/attualita/2023/12/06/ktm-produrre-in-europa-costa-troppo-300-dipendenti-in-meno-in-austria.html |access-date=15 March 2025 |agency=dueruote.it |publisher=dueruote.it |date=6 December 2023}}</ref> In 2024 KTM went into self imposed administration. Pierer Mobility was forced to sell their stake in MV Agusta back to the previous owners the Sardarov family.

In the early 2025 Stefan Pierer started exiting from executives roles in KTM and its affiliates, making way for new investors.
=== Bajaj Auto Era ===
In 2025, [[Bajaj Auto]], who were until now holding 49% stake in Pierer Mobility had offerred to take full control of KTM and its siter concerns by an 800 million Euro debt package. The deal was concluded in November 2025. Pierer Mobility is due to be rennamed as Bajaj Mobility which will hold 74.94% shares in KTM; rest of which lies in public hands.

== Operations ==

At present, KTM brand is operated by two corporate houses-

* Pierer Mobility — AG motorcycles & affiliated businesses via KTM AG

In 2005, KTM-Sportmotocycle began a partnership with [[All-terrain vehicle|ATV]] manufacturer [[Polaris Industries]] with the goal of shared research, and more importantly shared distribution networks. This partnership was a two-year trial arrangement, at the end of which both parties had the option of merging the two companies into one. In 2006, KTM announced that the partnership with Polaris had been downgraded, and would instead only supply their 450cc and 510cc RFS engines to Polaris.<ref name="Gardiner">{{cite web | url=http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/history-ktm-motorcycle.html | title=KTM Motorcycle History | publisher=motorcycle.com | access-date=2013-06-23 | author=Gardiner, Mark| date=January 2010 }}</ref>

KTM won its first championship in [[1974 FIM Motocross World Championship|1974]] when [[Gennady Moiseyev]] claimed the 250cc [[Motocross World Championship]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.memotocross.fr/maison/visite/index.php#0440929ca80bf241e |title=1974 250cc motocross world championship results |publisher=memotocross.fr |access-date=30 December 2015 }}</ref> By the end of 2016, KTM had won more than 260 world championship titles, making the company one of the most successful brands in motorsports.<ref name="KTM2015" /> KTM has claimed 96 MXGP, MX1 and MX2 world titles since 1974 and 114 E1, E2, E3 and Super Enduro [[World Enduro Championship|world titles]] since 1990. With [[Ryan Dungey]]'s 2015, 2016 and 2017 victories in the [[AMA Supercross Championship|supercross world championship]], KTM gained a successful presence in supercross racing as well. In 1994, a KTM factory team debuted at the [[Dakar Rally]]. In 1998, KTM riders won second to twelfth place. With consecutive wins from 2001 to 2019, the manufacturer has dominated the rally for 18 years now. KTM teams successfully compete in other [[rally raid]] events like the Atlas Rally or the Rallye du Maroc. KTM has won 37 [[FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship|cross country rallies]] world titles since 2003 and has won the [[FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship]] 15 times, most recently in 2015.

In 2003, KTM started sponsoring and supporting [[road racing]] in various capacities, with the most successful results stemming from their [[supermoto]] efforts. From 2003 to 2009, a KTM factory team competed in the 125&nbsp;cc class of the motorcycle [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grands Prix]], and between 2005 and 2008 in the 250&nbsp;cc class. Notable successes in the 125&nbsp;cc class were the second and third place in the overall ranking scored in [[2005 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#125cc|2005]] by KTM riders [[Mika Kallio]] and [[Gábor Talmácsi]], the second place in [[2006 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#125cc|2006]] by Mika Kallio, the third place in [[2007 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#125cc|2007]] by [[Tomoyoshi Koyama]] and the [[2005 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#125&nbsp;cc manufacturers standings|2005]] KTM victory in the 125&nbsp;cc constructor's championship. In the 250&nbsp;cc class, Mika Kallio won third place in [[2008 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#125cc|2008]]. Since the first Rookies Cup season in 2007, KTM has supplied the bike for the [[Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup]].

===Grand Prix motorcycle racing===
In 2009, KTM announced their withdrawal from Grand Prix motorcycle racing in all classes, and did not return until 2012 in the new [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing#Moto3 class|Moto3]] class.

In 2012, KTM won the [[2012 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#Manufacturers.27 championship 3|Moto3 manufacturers' championship]]. During the [[2013 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season#Riders.27 standings 3|next season]], KTM riders prevailed in every race of the Moto3 class and won the world title as well as second and third place, making KTM the obvious victor of the manufacturers' standing. KTM won the manufacturer title in the [[2014 Moto3 season#Manufacturers.27 standings|2014]] and [[2016 Moto3 season#Manufacturers.27 standings|2016]] as well as the world title in 2016 in the Moto3 class. Starting in 2017, KTM fields bikes in both MotoGP and Moto2 classes as well. The main class team features [[Jack Miller (motorcyclist)|Jack Miller]] and [[Brad Binder]] as full-season riders, [[Mika Kallio]] as wildcard rider, and [[Dani Pedrosa]] as test/development rider. The Moto2 [[Ajo Motorsport|KTM Ajo]] team features [[Pedro Acosta (motorcyclist)|Pedro Acosta]] and [[Albert Arenas]].
Steadfastly independent and confident of their company's abilities, KTM chose to use a steel trellis frame where all other manufacturers used aluminum. In addition, KTM insisted on developing their own racing suspension through their WP subsidiary (all other manufacturers used [[Öhlins]]). KTM demonstrated their prowess in doing things their own way by winning their first Moto GP premier class race on August 9, 2020, with rookie Brad Binder crossing the finish line in first place.

KTM's official company/team colours are orange, black and silver. To create a strong brand identity, all competition-ready KTMs come from the factory with bright orange plastic with "KTM" emblazoned on the side of the radiator shrouds. All KTM bikes also come from the factory with a [[Motorex]] sticker on the outside of the motor. All first fills of oil come from [[Motorex]] as well. Some official KTM teams use different colors for their bikes, most noticeably in the [[Dakar Rally]].

== Products ==
=== Off-road motorcycles ===
KTM manufactures a wide range of [[types of motorcycles#Off-road|off-road]] motorcycles. Not all of their models are available in every country. The following section lists bikes that are sold in the US.

'''Motocross''' – The current Motocross line designated by SX includes 50, 65, 85, 105, 125, 150, 250 and 300&nbsp;cc [[Single-cylinder engine|single-cylinder]] [[Two-stroke engine|two-stroke]] models (the 50 SX, 65 SX and 85 SX models are kids' and youth bikes), and 250, 350 and 450&nbsp;cc single-cylinder [[Four-stroke engine|four-stroke]] models (SX-F).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/us/mx/ | title=KTM MX | access-date=2017-06-03 | archive-date=26 May 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170526131103/http://www.ktm.com/us/mx | url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2005 KTM released the new 250SX-F to the general public. Since 2007, the SX-F's have been KTM's new racing motocross range. Current versions of the KTM SX-F line have a [[Overhead camshaft#dual overhead camshaft|dual overhead camshaft]] engine dubbed the “RC4”.

'''Cross-Country''' – The current cross-country line designated by XC includes 150, 250 and 300&nbsp;cc two-stroke models and 250, 350 and 450&nbsp;cc four-stroke models. The two-stroke XC machines except the 150&nbsp;cc model are available with either [[Close-ratio transmission|wide-ratio or close-ratio transmission]] (when switching gears, there is a more or less pronounced [[Revolutions per minute|rpm]] change). The four-stroke models are fitted with a semi-close ratio gearbox. Most models are equipped with an electric starter.<ref name="Enduro">{{cite web | url= http://www.ktm.com/us/enduro/ | title= KTM Enduro | access-date= 2017-06-03 | archive-date= 9 June 2017 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170609053207/http://www.ktm.com/us/enduro | url-status= dead }}</ref>

The very lightweight XC bikes are competition bikes only; they do not meet [[Homologation (motorsport)|homologation]] regulations.

'''Enduro''' – The street-legal EXC enduro versions of KTM's XC cross-country bikes are supplied with plusher non-linkage suspensions, a wider-ratio gear box and lights.

The current line available in the US consists of 350, 450 and 500 (actually 510 cc) four-stroke EXC models<ref name="Enduro" />.

'''Free Ride''' – A KTM original class of off-road motorcycle that could be described as a cross between Enduro and trials bikes. The Freeride 250R is powered by a lighter, modified version of the 250 EXC Enduro engine and has a specially developed six-speed gearbox with close transmission ratios in the lower gears and a wide ratio for the sixth gear.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/nz/freeride/freeride-250-r-1/ | title=KTM Freeride 250 R 2017 | access-date=2017-06-09 | archive-date=24 May 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170524034224/http://www.ktm.com/nz/freeride/freeride-250-r-1/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> A four-stroke 350&nbsp;cc free ride model with similar characteristics,<ref>{{cite web  | url=http://www.ktm.com/gb/freeride/freeride-350-1/  | title=KTM Freeride 350 2017  | access-date=2017-06-09  | url-status=dead  | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629184510/http://www.ktm.com/gb/freeride/freeride-350-1/  | archive-date=2017-06-29  }}</ref> and the all-electric single-speed models Freeride E-SX, Freeride E-XC as well as their street version Freeride E-SM are available in Europe.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/gb/e-ride/ | title=KTM Freeride E | access-date=2017-06-09 | archive-date=7 June 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170607145248/http://www.ktm.com/gb/e-ride | url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Two-stroke development ===
In the 1990s, [[American Motorcyclist Association|AMA]] rule changes put the cheaper, simpler two-stroke machines at a disadvantage to four-stroke bikes in motocross competitions by limiting two-stroke displacement at 125&nbsp;cc for the 250&nbsp;cc class and 250&nbsp;cc for the 450&nbsp;cc class.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://motocrossactionmag.com/news/mxas-two-stroke-tuesday-the-ama-displacement-rule | title=Motocross Action Magazine - MXA'S Two-Strok Tuesday: The AMA Displacement Rule | date=28 June 2016 | access-date=2017-06-03}}</ref> While other manufacturers have decided to discontinue their two-stroke models, KTM has continued with creating and improving their two-stroke engines and has consequently taken up a very high proportion of the two-stroke bike market.

New [[european emission standards|European emission laws]] have increased the pressure on two-stroke bikes, as their engines are less fuel efficient and produce more pollution than four-stroke engines. However, with newer advances in technology, two-strokes have begun to burn cleaner and pass stricter environmental standards. Starting in 2017, all newly registered motorcycles must conform with the Euro 4 regulations for emissions management. In May 2017, KTM unveiled a new two-stroke engine with [[gasoline direct injection|direct fuel injection]]. By pressure-injecting an electronically controlled amount of fuel into the transfer port of the cylinder, the new TPI (transfer port injection) engines will be more fuel efficient and cleaner than classic [[carburetor]] two-stroke engines, albeit more complex and expensive. By 2018, 250 and 300 EXC TPI enduro models will be powered by the new engine.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/news/int/ktm-unveils-worlds-first-2-stroke-fuel-injection-enduro-machines/ | title=KTM unveils world's first 2-stroke fuel injection enduro machines | access-date=2017-06-03 | archive-date=27 May 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170527215336/http://www.ktm.com/news/int/ktm-unveils-worlds-first-2-stroke-fuel-injection-enduro-machines | url-status=dead }}</ref>

The 125 (not available in the US), 250 and 390 models have a single-cylinder four-stroke LC4 motor. The 990 Duke use a new twin-parallel engine. The 1390 R Superduke model is equipped with a 75 degree V-twin four-stroke motor (LC8).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/us/naked-bike/ | title=KTM Naked Bike | access-date=2017-06-03 | archive-date=27 May 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170527020913/http://www.ktm.com/us/naked-bike | url-status=dead }}</ref>

The 200, 250 and 390 Duke models are currently produced by Bajaj Auto in Pune, India. The 250 is only available in Asia, with only the Duke 390 and Duke 200 being exported to European countries and North America.

{{See|Dual-sport motorcycle}}
'''Dual Sport''' – KTM currently produces the [[KTM 390 series#390 Enduro/Adventure|390 Enduro R]] and [[KTM 690 Enduro|690 Enduro R]] Dual sport models which are basically road bikes suitable for off-road excursions. These bikes typically have lower seat heights and more comfort features than a "street legal" off-road bike.

{{See|Touring motorcycle#Adventure tourers}}
'''Adventure touring''' – KTM currently produces the [[KTM 390 series#390 Enduro/Adventure|390 Adventure]], 890 Adventure R, and [[KTM 1290 Super Adventure#2017 Models|1290 Super Adventure]] dual-sport adventure bikes in versions with different seat height, wheels and suspensions that endow the machines with a road (S), off-road (R – for rally) or touring (T) bias.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cycleworld.com/2017-ktm-1090-adventure-and-1090-adventure-r-add-to-ktms-adventure-bike-lineup | title=The 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure and 1090 Adventure R Add To KTM's Adventure Bike Lineup | access-date=2017-06-03}}</ref> Not all versions are available on the US market.

The 1090 Adventure and 1290 Super Adventure bikes are powered by 75 degree V-twin four-stroke motors (LC8). The 790 Adventure is powered by the new LC8c parallel twin four-stroke motor. All 3 feature a slipper clutch, electronically controlled riding modes (sport, street and rain) with the 1290 and 790 featuring a TFT display and the 1090 featuring a twin (analog plus LCD) display.

{{See|Sports motorcycle}}
'''Sport''' – KTM sport bikes currently offered in the supersport category include the RC 125 (not available in the US) and the RC 390. Both are street-legal versions of bikes that compete in street races. With the RC16, KTM has presented a 1000&nbsp;cc sport bike that will race in the MotoGP class of the 2017 Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/11/02/ktm-rc16-motogp-race-bike-on-the-grid-in-2017-first-look-review | title=First Look: KTM RC16 | access-date=2017-06-03}}</ref> Whether there will be a street-legal production version of the RC16 at a later point in time is yet unclear.

In Asia, KTM also markets RC 200 and RC 250 street bikes. KTM is also planning to introduced a new 150cc bike in its RC lineup in the Asian countries. This would be the KTC RC 150, that will powered by a 149cc, single-cylinder engine and 6-speed gearbox. This will be launched at a more affordable price, so everyone can opt for it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dahiya |first=Ravi |date=5 August 2022 |title=KTM RC 150 |url=https://www.ardwheels.com/2022-ktm-rc-150-price-in-india-specs-features/ |access-date=8 January 2023 |website=ARDwheels |archive-date=7 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230107210312/https://www.ardwheels.com/2022-ktm-rc-150-price-in-india-specs-features/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

{{Main|Supermoto#Machines}}
'''Supermoto''' – KTM was the first manufacturer to offer a competition-ready [[supermoto#machines|supermoto]] bike to the public. However, the company stopped supermoto production in 2016 to focus on stock 690 SMC R machines. For the 2019 Model year, the 690 SMC R model was completely renewed. The bike now has the latest version of the single cylinder LC4 power unit, introduced for the MY2016 Duke. The previous supermoto models included the 625 SMC and the race version 560 SMR. The 141&nbsp;kg light 690 SMC R model has a 48&nbsp;kW liquid-cooled one-cylinder four-stroke motor (LC4) and a hydraulically actuated APTC [[slipper clutch]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ktm.com/gb/supermoto/690-smc-r-1/ | title=KTM 690 SMC R 2017 | access-date=2017-06-03 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606052144/http://www.ktm.com/gb/supermoto/690-smc-r-1 | archive-date=2017-06-06 }}</ref>
