We continue to receive news and updates about the current and future situation of KTM. In recent weeks, it seems that light began to glimpse at the end of the tunnel, with the Austrians working in the complete financial restructuring of the company.
However, the Indian media uncovered a few days ago in which it hinted at the end of the production of the 125 cc models of KTM. Although there was only talk of the local market, it was clear that this could also affect production and sale in Europe.

An unfounded rumor about the end of the KTM 125 Duke and which KTM has had to give explanations
The rumor arose after the fall in the sales figures of the KTM 125 cc in India, where the high price of these models has affected their competitiveness against options such as the Yamaha R15 V4 or the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. However, KTM has come to the passage of this information with a statement in which he clarifies that neither the brand nor its Bajaj Auto partner have made such a decision, and that the news is based on an erroneous interpretation of its financial restructuring process.
The continuity of the 125 cc in the KTM range is good news for all, especially for those looking for an accessible sports option with the brand Racing DNA. The KTM 125 Duke and RC 125 have been key in the KTM strategy to attract young pilots and those who make the jump from the scooters or look for a first motorcycle with an aggressive design and a quality cycle part.
With this denial, KTM makes it clear that it continues to bet on the motorcycles of 125 cc, a fundamental displacement for the European market and for those who seek performance and technology without giving up the accessibility of an A1 model.
