KTM Absorbs GST Impact, Holds 390cc Range Prices

Pune, 22 September 2025 – KTM, the world’s leading premium sports motorcycle brand, today announced that it will maintain ex-showroom prices across its 390cc range, despite the recent increase in GST on motorcycles above 350 cc to 40%. By absorbing the incremental impact, KTM has ensured that riders can continue enjoying its racing DNA on favourites like the 390 Duke, 390 Adventure, and RC 390, without any additional costs, starting this festive season.

For KTM models below 350cc i.e. the 160 Duke, 200 Duke, 250 Duke etc., the benefit of the GST reduction has been directly passed on, allowing riders to experience the same high-performance engineering at even more accessible prices.

This move reinforces KTM’s strong presence in India’s premium motorcycle segment, where its performance-first machines have built a loyal following. Known for its “Ready to Race” DNA, KTM continues to deliver unmatched engineering and value, making it the preferred choice for enthusiasts seeking a true sports riding experience.

Speaking on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking Business Unit, said, “KTM has always stood for accessible, performance-driven motorcycling. We love the fact that we have more than half a million customers, who trust us, and spread the enthusiasm for performance motorcycling, they are our true advocates and flag bearers. By keeping ex-showroom prices unchanged on our >390cc range and passing on the benefits of GST reduction on the 160 Duke, 200 Duke, 250 Duke etc, we reaffirm our commitment to motorcycling.”

With no increase in ex-showroom prices, KTM’s 390 Duke, RC & Adventure remain a compelling choice for enthusiasts. This step underscores KTM’s focus on delivering value, while staying true to its legacy of engineering excellence and its promise of keeping riders Ready to Race.
