History
Austrian company KTM - one of the largest, best and most famous manufacturers of sports motorcycles in Europe. The official date of KTM foundation of the enterprise is 1934. Then a young but very ambitious engineer named Hans Trunkenpolz, who lived in the town of Mattinghofen, opened a metalworking workshop. At first, the young entrepreneur did not get everything, but just a few years after the start of commercial activity, he had a stable income. Successful businessman Ernst Kronreif acquired a part of the company and became its main shareholder. Of course, after that the enterprise received an updated name, in which the surname of the new co-owner was involved. However, this did not affect the abbreviation. It remained the same - KTM (Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen). Until the end of the 60s, the enterprise continued to develop. But the course of history changed the development of the company's own engine cycle. It was then that they stopped collecting motorcycles from parts produced by other developers. Moreover, almost immediately there were simultaneously several debut models, as well as a powerful sports bike. For decades, the KTM company has been actively developing and improving. However, 1989 put an end to the rapid development of the company. The end of the "golden era" is usually associated with the death of the founder and bike ideologist of the company, Hans Trunkenpolz. Almost immediately, KTM started serious problems, as a result of which in 1991 the bike company went bankrupt. However, the literacy of the new company management helped the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer get out of the pit. Already in 2000, KTM motobike riders won the championship titles in the classes of 125 and 500 cubic centimeters, as well as a lot of other competitions. At the same time, the company presented to the public a prototype of the company's first motorcycle, equipped with a 1000-cubic-cc engine. In 2011, the updated Duke 690 and Duke 125 were introduced. A few years ago, KTM began to master the release of other motor vehicles - mini-cycles with small-capacity power units and high-quality ATVs. The entire model range of the company is constantly updated, in addition, new models are being developed.
On the official website of KTM you can see the full list of producing motorcycles. Virtually all leading motor manufacturers in the production range have 125-cubic models made "in an adult", sometimes indistinguishable externally from 600 cubes and liter brethren. They are a kind of business card of the company. Kind of - an invitation to the family. The success of the younger model for those who first sits on a motorcycle directly depends on the future success of their other models of the same brand.
