KTM motorcycles include the 350SX-F motocross bike, 530 EXC off-road motorcycle and 690 Enduro R. KTM’s street motorcycles include the RC8R sportbike, 990 Adventure R dual sport, 990 Supermoto R and 990 Super Duke naked standard.

KTM takes motorcycle racing very seriously and its consumer models are all built to win. The Austrian manufacturer is best known for producing race-winning and class-dominating off-road motorcycles. So serious is KTM about off-road racing that is offers motorcycles designed specifically for several different off-road disciplines, including motocross, cross-country, enduro, super enduro, supermoto and dual-sport. Also, while the other manufacturers have all but ignored two-stroke technology in recent years, KTM embraces these less expensive and easier to maintain motorcycles and continues to churn out new models. Simply put, nobody does off-road like KTM. However, in more recent years KTM has turned some of its attention to streetbikes – notably the impressive RC8R.
