These models will be available at KTM flagship stores in seven cities, starting with Bangalore and Pune.
The new KTM models cover a variety of segments. In the Naked segment, the KTM 1390 Super Duke R and KTM 890 Duke R are designed for those seeking high-performance street motorcycles. For Adventure enthusiasts, the KTM 1290 SUPER Adventure S and KTM 890 Adventure R are built for long-distance touring and off-road riding. The Enduro segment is represented by the KTM 350 EXC-F, while the Motocross range includes models like the KTM 450 SX-F and KTM 250 SX-F for competitive racers, along with the KTM 85 SX, KTM 65 SX, and KTM 50 SX for young riders.
KTM is enhancing the customer experience through flagship stores in seven cities—Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata—where customers can explore a comprehensive range of KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear. These stores will also offer tailored KTM Pro-XP experiences and specialized service capabilities, including upgraded workshops to cater to the full range of KTM motorcycles.
In terms of motorsports, KTM remains committed to fostering talent in India. The brand has established a training facility in Bangalore and participates in FMSCI-accredited races. KTM sponsors Shlok Ghorpade, a promising supercross athlete who clinched four national titles in 2023 and is currently leading the 2024 SX championship.
KTM’s partnership with Bajaj Auto has played a pivotal role in the brand’s growth in India over the last decade. Since 2012, KTM has expanded its lineup, first offering motorcycles in the 200cc to 390cc range and later introducing models like the KTM Adventure range and the KTM Pro-XP program. The launch of these global models in India marks another step forward in this successful collaboration.
Gottfried Neumeister, Co-CEO of KTM AG, emphasized the significance of this launch, stating that it strengthens KTM’s presence in India and brings the brand’s performance-oriented motorcycles to a larger audience. Manik Nangia, President of Probiking at Bajaj Auto, highlighted that this launch is a key milestone in their shared mission to deliver world-class motorcycling experiences to Indian customers, with a focus on expanding the product range and enhancing customer service through flagship stores.
