Besides riding talent, tireless training and a professional outlook, perfect motor racers are distinguished by always giving their all. A true fighter will not give up when all seems lost – but will also refuse to let up when leading by a seemingly uncatchable margin. We at KTM live this racing enthusiasm and follow these basic tenets when we strive every day to stay ahead of the others, and by more than a short head. Some of the most talented, highest motivated and best educated people work here in Mattighofen, people with petrol in their blood and racing in their DNA. But what really distinguishes them is their will to never let up. The motorbikes thought up, developed and produced here are not only “ready to race”, they are champion bikes. In nearly all areas, they gain victory after victory, title after title – from the deserts of the rally raids to the forests of the enduro WC, from the dust of the MX arenas to the tarmac of the GP race tracks, from the motorcycle markets of the world to the hearts of our fans. And still we keep working tirelessly on new concepts, new technologies, new models. Success makes us open the throttle, not hit the brakes. The enthusiasm of motorcyclists for the machines from Mattighofen does not make us rest but drives us to pursue successful concepts further and explore new avenues beside the usual, rutted tracks.
