KTM’s history dates back to 1934, when Hans Trunkenpolz set up shop in Mattighofen, Austria, initially repairing cars and motorcycles under the name Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen, but it took nearly two decades before a motorcycle bearing the name would appear. The first was the R100 that reached production in 1953, making 2023 KTM’s 70th a...
Today, Cross Industries has morphed into Pierer Industrie, which in turn owns Pierer Mobility AG, the parent to KTM and a host of other brands. Stefan Pierer remains the driving force behind the company’s direction to this day, his own fortunes rising alongside those of KTM. He entered Forbesmagazine’s list of the world’s billionaires in 2018 and r...
Pierer has never been one to miss an opportunity and KTM isn’t the only company he’s snapped up when the right chance has arisen. In 2005, KTM grabbed control of Husaberg, and two years later started a gradual takeover of WP suspension, eventually integrating the company completely with KTM in 2017. In 2013, a change in heart at BMW – which had bou...
The roster of companies living under the Pierer roof is just the start of KTM’s wider connections through the bike industry, where you could easily play a game of ‘six stages of separation’ to bring virtually any motorcycle maker into connection with the brand. The closest, and most recent, addition to the list is MV Agusta. In November, KTM took a...
India’s Bajaj has been a long-term partner for KTM, owning a substantial stake in the company, which it swapped in 2021 for a share in Pierer Mobility as a whole. Bajaj has built KTM’s small, single-cylinder bikes from 125cc to 390cc since 2011 and the millionth Indian-made KTM rolled off the production line in January 2023. Now Bajaj is partner on...
In 2022, Pierer Mobility sold 375,492 motorcycles. That’s 42,611 (13%) more than the previous year, and reflects the sort of spectacular growth that’s become the norm since Pierer rescued KTM from insolvency in the early 90s. The 2022 figures show KTM is the groups biggest player, accounting for 258,494 sales, followed by Husqvarna on 70,938 and Ga...
While other brands – notably Triumph – have shifted production to cheaper locations like Asia, the majority of Pierer’s bikes are still Austrian-made, whether under the KTM, Husqvarna or GasGas name. In 2022, there were around 220,000 bikes made at the Mattighofen headquarters, compared to 150,000 made for the firm by Bajaj in India, 19,000 by CFMo...
Although KTM was a market leader in electric bikes – the Freeride E hit the market back in 2011 and the current Freeride E-XC sits alongside two electric kids’ crossers and a pair of electric balance bikes – but the company isn’t single-mindedly committed to battery power. Indeed, Stefan Pierer remains sceptical about the potential for battery powe...
