KTM refuses to be beaten is the message coming out of Mattighofen in a pre-Christmas press release that’s set to warm the cockles of Austrian dirt bike fans around the world. It’s a convincing message n’all and we hope that they can pull it off and celebrate more success at the end of 2025 and beyond. Full PR below…
READY TO RACE is more than a slogan for KTM. It defines our existence. In competition, there are highs and lows, daring and disappointment, and victory and defeat. 2024 has been a year of conquests but also challenges for the company. Heading into 2025 and beyond, there are more jumps, ruts and bumps ahead - but we are not letting off the throttle.
2024 has been a remarkable year for KTM, marked by bold innovation, thrilling victories and unwavering customer dedication. While challenges are part of any great journey, we also see them as an opportunity to accelerate towards an even brighter future.
It is no secret that KTM AG is navigating a shifting economic landscape. However, as our READY TO RACE mantra suggests, we are embracing this moment to realign, refuel and reinvigorate. KTM remains fully committed to delivering exceptional experiences to our current and future customers. We will continue to thrill and find our way to the top of the podium again.
Racing is where we show our brand, our engineering and our passion for the chase. Over the past year, our motorsport teams continued to achieve greatness. We started the season with a staggering 341 FIM World Championship Titles. The globe-trotting calendars involved more than 1,480 race starts and brought us 246 podiums and 150 wins across various disciplines. Of course, there were hardships and injuries — these come with the territory — but KTM impressively added 11 more hard-fought titles to the record.
Off the racing line, the KTM brand has also been extremely active in 2024. The brand unveiled 59 new models, hosted three international media launches at which 152 media partners attended, successfully pulled off three customer events that saw 283 participants, and returned to EICMA — the world’s largest motorcycle show — with a massive stand and 17 new KTM products.
There has been a strong push behind these new motorcycles, as well as efforts to ensure we maintain momentum in the right areas. KTM is applying the same forward-thinking approach during this restructuring phase. Our goal over the next 90 days is to stabilise the business while setting the foundation for sustained growth and success.
Throughout this period, KTM guarantees the continuation of motorcycles being delivered through our Authorised KTM Dealer network. The same goes for our spare parts, technical accessories, customer service support and warranties which remain unchanged, ensuring ongoing and unwavering support throughout this period.
The work and the desire for the latest edgy, extreme and adventurous motorcycles goes on. KTM is preparing to launch of a brace of highly anticipated models, which will be in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2025. This again shows our pledge to remain as one of Europe’s leading motorcycle manufacturers well into the future.
