Statement from KTM AG regarding current media reports on Enduro Models
Mattighofen, 27 May 2026
KTM AG firmly rejects the allegations made in recent media reports that
KTM is placing illegal motorcycles on the market. The KTM Group sells its
motorcycles exclusively in compliance with applicable European
regulations.
The reporting is based on a fundamental misunderstanding: At their core,
enduro models are sports machines that, in their homologated delivery
condition, are also permitted to be ridden on public roads. This dual-use
capability is intentional, necessary, and standard across the industry: In
order for enduro machines to participate in official competitions, they
must be delivered in a homologated condition in accordance with the
regulations of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM). This is
neither a KTM-specific practice nor a procedure that would give KTM any
undue competitive advantage over its peers. All KTM-, Husqvarna-, and
GASGAS-branded enduro models leave our factory exclusively in a
road-legal, homologated condition.
At the customer’s request, these machines can be configured by the
authorized dealer for competition and off-road use after purchase. Buyers
of our enduro machines are expressly informed that road approval expires
upon conversion for competition use, and that the vehicle may no longer be
used on public roads.
The enduro models sold in Europe account for approximately 3% of KTM’s
global sales.
The emissions issues raised in the reports also warrant an objective
assessment: According to the German Federal Environment Agency,
motorcycles account for approximately 0.3% of total CO₂ emissions in
Germany. Enduro competition models represent only a small fraction of
this. Their annual mileage is many times lower than that of street
motorcycles, as they are used for only a few hours per year in sport and
training activities.
