KTM’s financial troubles are worse than many suspected. The company has entered self-administration to undergo a restructuring process in an attempt to stave off bankruptcy. Is a total collapse of one of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers near?

It was just a couple of years ago that Pierer Mobility-owned KTM celebrated 12 straight years of record growth. Now, the company is in a dire crisis that requires a halt in production and the sacking of more than 300 employees. How did it get here?

Fifty thousand bucks is a lot of money for a motorcycle. Kramer, a boutique maker of race bikes, has tried to cram in as much as it can on two wheels – race-ready components, advanced electronics, and a titanium and carbon-fiber body.

The entry-level adventure bike class is heavily populated by the likes of KTM, Royal Enfield, and CFMoto’s hugely capable offerings. These 400-500cc bikes are fun, lightweight, and most importantly, affordable. Now, BMW is set to take on them all.

KTM has taken the wraps off its next premium touring motorcycle, the 2025 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. It's packing so many new features that we're convinced it's got the most tech of any production bike on the market.

KTM’s all-new Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is rolling out on the upcoming 1390 Super Adventure, and the company says it'll change the way we ride motorcycles. It comes with a P–N–1–2–3–4–5–6 gear sequence – and of course, no clutch lever.

KTM is kitting out a new motorcycle for the 2025 model year with six clever radar-guided safety features – including the ability to automatically squeeze the brakes to prevent a collision. That's thanks to next-gen rider assistance tech from Bosch.

What do you get when you cross a KTM 1190 V-twin wedged into a custom steel-tube trellis frame with 46" off-road tires that has hydraulic steering? A Monster Chopper. This is the kinda stuff that happens without proper adult supervision.

"This thing's gonna be a chungus!" In the northern tip of Idaho, 70-odd miles from Spokane, Washington, a magnificently silly project is underway: a colossal batpod of a motorcycle with a KTM motor, monster truck wheels, and hydraulic steering.

One of the most magnificent and terrifying steeds in motorcycledom gets its second major overhaul for 2024. The new KTM 1390 Super Duke R gets a bigger motor, a bigger tank, semi-active suspension and a savagely alien new headlight design.

Best known for its high-performance Mercedes-Benz variants, Brabus this week introduced its debut motorbike in alliance with KTM. The 1300R builds on the brand new 1290 Super Duke R Evo in a small production run that was snapped up in no time.

KTM plans to continue its quirky expansion into the world of four-wheelers by turning its savage X-Bow GT2 racer into an Audi-powered street-legal supercar – complete with a pop-up jet-fighter style cockpit.
