When will we see 26 KTM's?

Good question. That’s where all the press releases and speculation disappear and we see the reality of the situation.

December/ January if they are able to restart production by the summer?

Will be 25's for a few years I suspect...  They probably have them made already and sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

If production had stayed running since December I’d say yes. But I’m not sure they’ve built any since they haven’t ran production in months. 

Expect prices of new bikes to rocket! 
The fundamental principle of supply and demand. limited availability drives up the cost

Wonder how many of the x00,000 of bikes they still have in warehouses unsold. 

No idea. But they won’t last forever and at some point there will be more buyers than bikes and it’ll take a while for production to catch up.

Ktm would love for that problem to happen. Not sure how much demand their will truly be with hoards of bikes to choose from currently. 

Report was like a years supply already built.  We just don't know which models.  And yeah, I could be completely wrong.  

I'm just waiting on the insane deals to sell off all the bikes stored in warehouses.  I haven't seen anything below regular retail prices in the Southeast.

Isn't there a factory edition from January that predicts what the regular 26s are gonna be?

Presumably BNG

I'm confused, are we talking KTM, Husky, or Gas-Gas? lol

Wonder if they’ll skip a ‘26 model…

They already produced way less for 2025 due to less demand. For everyone waiting on a fantastic deal KTM MX / Enduro bike: There aren't any.

With suppliers demanding payments upfront for new orders it's going to take a while and wouldn't be suprised if we don't see many 26 models on the showroom floor. There are alternatives enough though with the Japanese brands, Triumph, Ducati, Fantic and the boutique offerings from TM and Beta.

2028

The Asian manufacturers are probably happy they can go back to their 4 year development cycle now that they don’t have to try & keep up with KTM”s pushing development forward…I”m due for a new 300SX…hopefully I can find a 25  or 26 soon….

Why would they sell them cheap when they’re not producing replacement stock? 

Weird take on it tbh..

Sounds like they dont have moto and off road race bikes sitting around, since some dealers cant even get them. Isnt it all the foreign market commuter style Bikes that are stockpiled?

I keep hearing about all these commuter bikes could someone please show me a couple? I googled it and got some 390s and such. I’d buy a 390 for fun if they sold em half off soon. 

Yea the fire sale isn’t going to happen unless they go out of business. 

Around me, dealers are literally swimming in orange inventory.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for, expand your search.

... maybe try asking a KTM Dealer instead of posting another KTM negative news forum topic. 
 

If you want to know what the 2026 KTMs look like, head over to your local dealer to look at the 2025 KTMs then just imagine slightly different graphics.

I'd imagine you could also repeat this process for the 2027 bikes.

Exactly. I envision the model year stickers resembling the stereotypical gal with a list of crossed-out former boyfriends’ names tattooed on her arm…😂

At this point bikes don’t really get much better year to year even after a major redesign. It’s really just a new look folks are buying. 
My 2023 KTM 450 FE isn’t really that much better than my 2016 KTM 350.. with a suspension refresh the 16 would be no worse than the 23. BUT the 23 looks better imo 

BNO

Bold new owner

They've made 4200 bikes in Austria this year so far... production is supposed to resume (again) in late July.

As others have said they have about a year worth of inventory though we don't know the model breakdown.

Production never stopped in India so new 2025 models like enduro 390 are coming to dealers.

How 'bout cut them a break?   Hard economic times, throw in a bit of dirty corruption.  It's going to take time for them to get back on their feet.   It's only May.  Technically, 2026 models should be released in January 2026, anything else is just marketing (you're all suckers!)

If they have BNG for ‘26 it will be more of a change than Honda. 

Id say if you are looking for any kind of deal you should try to find a leftover 2024, I almost drove to PA to get one until a super low hour 2023 300XC popped up locally. It might be a good thing for KTM to stick to the same bike for a couple years anyways. 

There simply isn't another company making two strokes on the level of the KTM TBI bikes, if they had to go into all this debt to develop these bikes then I think it was worth as they are awesome haha.
