KTM Provides Update on Street Bike Production Dates
Delayed 2025 models pushed to 2026
Last November, at EICMA, KTM announced a number of new street models based on its 1390 and 990 platforms. Not long afterwards, KTM announced it was entering into self-administration under the weight of its growing debt. Production was halted, which means those new models planned for the 2025 model year have been pushed back to 2026.
As the company comes out of its financial mess, thanks to its soon-to-be new majority owner, Bajaj Auto, KTM has provided an update on when exactly we can expect its anticipated new models will finally go into production.
Production of the 990 RC R sportbike, and the 1390 Super Adventure (in S, S EVO, and R variations) will begin rolling off the line in October. The 990 Duke R will follow in November. The 1390 Super Duke GT sport-tourer, meanwhile, will be held back until 2027. Deliveries will follow shortly after production restarts.
