If you're a rider who lives for the rush of the throttle, KTM's 2026 lineup is your wake-up call. Fresh from EICMA recaps and dealer whispers, these bikes blend cutting-edge tech with that signature orange aggression. From dirt-flinging enduro beasts to street-stalking nakeds, expect refined power delivery, smarter electronics, and availability hitting dealers soon. Whether you're plotting your next trail assault or canyon carve, KTM's got the machines to make it happen. Dive in—we've got the full scoop on every model.

Unleashing Dirt Domination: The 2026 KTM Off-Road Arsenal

KTM's off-road family for 2026 is all about raising the bar without reinventing the wheel. Building on proven platforms, these bikes get tweaks for sharper handling, better cooling, and race-ready connectivity. The phased rollout means you can snag a motocross ripper now while waiting for enduro specials. It's KTM's way of keeping you shredding from September onward, with global dealers stocked by early next year.

Let's break it down model by model—these aren't just updates; they're podium chasers.

KTM 50 SX and 50 SX Factory Edition

This pint-sized powerhouse kicks off the lineup with WP XACT AER suspension that's now even smoother thanks to a revamped air cartridge and seals. The Factory Edition amps it up with Red Bull KTM race graphics, a black frame, and purple accents for that pro vibe. Power comes from a reliable 49cc two-stroke, perfect for young riders building skills. Special feature: Enhanced clutch durability means fewer mid-session tweaks. Availability: Global dealers from September 2025 (EU/US lead). Estimated pricing: €6,500 / $7,000 for standard; €7,200 / $7,800 for Factory Edition. It's a steal for the mini-racer in your garage.

KTM 65 SX

Scaled up but still agile, the 64cc two-stroke gets the same suspension glow-up as the 50, plus a standardized radiator cap for quick coolant checks. Brighter orange plastics and red fork guards give it a fiercer look, while improved wiring routing shrugs off mud like a champ. The Connectivity Unit Offroad (optional) lets you tweak maps via app—handy for dialing in power as skills grow. Availability: Hits EU/US shelves September 2025. Estimated pricing: €7,800 / $8,400. Ideal for juniors eyeing their first podium.

KTM 85 SX (17/14 and 19/16)

These 85cc two-strokes are track weapons with fully adjustable WP XACT forks and shocks for pro-level tuning. New for 2026: A protective fuel cap on EFI models and Dunlop Geomax tires (US spec) for killer grip. The black high-grip seat and frame guards handle abuse without flinching. Special feature: Reed valve case design ensures consistent power at any altitude—no jetting hassles. Availability: September 2025 worldwide. Estimated pricing: €8,500 / $9,200 (17/14); €8,700 / $9,400 (19/16). Bridge the gap to big-bike racing seamlessly.

KTM 125 SX, 250 SX, and 300 SX

The two-stroke trio shines with EFI for buttery throttle response and a new power valve for low-end grunt. Chassis tweaks include a stiffer frame and lighter subframe, paired with Brembo brakes that bite hard. Graphics pop with vivid orange and black contrasts. Special feature: Upgraded wiring harnesses resist dirt intrusion, keeping electronics reliable in slop. Availability: EU from August 2025; US September. Estimated pricing: €8,900 / $9,600 (125); €9,200 / $9,900 (250); €9,500 / $10,200 (300). Pure two-stroke soul for motocross purists.

KTM 250 SX-F, 350 SX-F, and 450 SX-F

Four-stroke fury meets finesse: The 450 pumps 63 hp through a Keihin EFI setup, with quickshifter standard on the 450. All get the optional CUO for traction control and launch maps. Suspension is WP's finest—air forks with easy preload access. Special feature: New threaded radiator cap for tool-free maintenance, plus a fan on all models for hot-lap stamina. Availability: September 2025 globally. Estimated pricing: €10,500 / $11,300 (250); €10,800 / $11,600 (350); €11,200 / $12,000 (450). Factory-level adjustability without the factory price tag.

KTM 125 XC-W, 150 XC-W, 250 XC-W, and 300 XC-W

Cross-country specialists redefined: The 125 and 150 join the XC-W ranks (bye, EXC homologation) with softer mapping for woods work. All feature 21-inch front wheels and Dunlop AT82 tires for traction. Special feature: Electric start and a six-speed gearbox make them trail tamers, with the 300's fan-cooled head thriving in gnarly heat. Availability: EU August 2025; US September. Estimated pricing: €9,300 / $10,000 (125); €9,500 / $10,200 (150); €9,800 / $10,500 (250); €10,100 / $10,900 (300). Built for GNCC-style endurance.

KTM 250 XC-F and 450 XC-F

These four-strokes blend SX snap with XC compliance—think 48 hp in the 450, plus PDS rear suspension for bump-soaking. New connectivity tunes engine modes on the fly. Special feature: WP XACT semi-active damping (optional) reads terrain like a pro. Availability: September 2025 worldwide. Estimated pricing: €10,200 / $11,000 (250); €10,700 / $11,500 (450). Race the hare or the tortoise—your call.

KTM 300 EXC, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC-F, and 500 EXC-F

Enduro icons with street-legal plates: The 500's 55 hp V-twin loafs at highway speeds but explodes off-road. All get radiators fans and Maxxis tires (EU). Special feature: Quickshifter and cornering ABS for dual-sport duality. Availability: EU August (EXC-Fs); October (300 EXC); US September. Estimated pricing: €11,000 / $11,800 (300); €11,300 / $12,100 (350); €11,600 / $12,500 (450); €11,900 / $12,800 (500). Legal thrills for the daily grind.

Street Smarts and Adventure Grit: KTM's Road-Ready Rebels

KTM's street and adventure bikes for 2026 are the result of a production pivot—pushed from 2025 to ensure flawless execution. Teased at EICMA, they arrive with a beefy four-year warranty on LC8 engines. Expect late 2025 drops in EU/US, with Asia following suit. These aren't commuters; they're conquerors.
