Or any dumb downed four strokes like the Japanese brands offer? Maybe they’re too serious for that and only make “race bikes” ? Seems like they’re missing a huge corner of the market of kids and beginners.
A steel framed ktm 110 with upside down modern forks and optional stiff springs would be a hit i’d Think
Just curious

The Shop
Pit bikes are also not a huge revenue stream and the guy who owns the company seems to do a pretty good job of investing his money and developing products that sell.
Want a KTM pit bike...buy the new E50. haha
That’s not how “we” do it!
We make serious motorcycles for serious racers.
Then, we dance!
If KTM ever did one, it would look something like this (with a steel orange frame, of course)...
Pit Row
Replace brake pads on a disc system
Tell me which is more simple.
The Freerides/ ADV bikes touch on all these core values. While Freerides are "play" bikes and ADV are not race bikes, they are also performance bikes, with an extreme side, and elicit a certain level of two-wheel purity.
Pit Bikes can be extreme and have performance sure, but to do so it would cost money and KTM isn't willing to put the development into these types of products when it would take away from their money makers.
I'm not saying they're right or wrong. I'm sure all of us could point out plenty of KTM head-scratching examples.
