Despite the fact that KTM was established in 1934, motorcycles on it began to be produced only twenty years later. Over the years of its existence, it has gained high authority and has become famous throughout the world thanks to its racing bikes. At the same time, the KTM brand has recently become very popular in the street motorcycle market. The “iron horses” of this Austrian manufacturer were successful in all kinds of sports competitions, including the Paris-Dakar rally. KTM - motorcycles that are always made in three traditional colors for the company: yellow, black and silver. On the outside of the engine, any model has the inscription "Motorex". It should be noted that the manufacturer has provided a number of all kinds of engines for their bikes.
Motocross
KTM cross-country motorcycles are presented by a ruler, which includes modifications with two-stroke engines in volume from 65 to 250 cubic meters, as well as four-stroke ones - from 250 to 450 cubic meters. Now the company mass-produces the 150SX model, the development and appearance of which were associated with changes to the rules of the American Motorcyclist Association. The XC range is also particularly popular at present. The bikes that enter it are distinguished by a stiffer suspension and a shorter length compared to peers.
Off-road vehicles (enduro)
A similar term applies to those motorcycle vehicles whose main purpose is to ride on surfaces not covered with standard hard asphalt. Often, these areas are overcome solely through specialized equipment - ATVs, mountain bikes or other means with the appropriate characteristics. KTM SUVs are motorcycles whose modifications have engines with two or four cylinders. Their volume, respectively, is 200-300 and 250-530 cubic meters. Enduros differ from other bikes in a wider gear. The engines that are used here are relatively environmentally friendly and comply with environmental laws. The most powerful among SUVs are Super Enduro bikes, on which power plants with a volume of 690 or 950 cubic meters are installed.
Motard
KTM - motorcycles that can also boast of the presence of racing modifications. The sizes of their motors range from 450 to 690 cubic centimeters. Among other things, the company in this class produces four more models, which, being high-speed, are not intended to participate in sports races. The maximum motor size they have is 990 cubic meters. It should be noted that the company KTM was the first to offer the Supermoto motorcycle to the public for everyday use. The modification received positive reviews from most specialized British magazines and newspapers.
Multi-purpose bikes
It was such modifications that at one time became the triumphs of the international rally "Paris-Dakar". For them, the manufacturer developed engines consisting of four or eight cylinders. The volume of units is from 640 to 990 cubic centimeters.
Cost
As for the cost of such a vehicle as a KTM motorcycle, the price of cross modification at domestic dealers starts at 300 thousand rubles, the enduro - 460 thousand, and the road - 220 thousand.
