KTM 250 SX-F has a fuel tank capacity of 13.5 litres litres. Compare the fuel tank capacity of 250 SX-F with other similar bikes at autoX.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The KTM
        250 SX-F is a professional-grade motocrosser bike that excels in tight track
        performance with class-leading acceleration. It is equipped with WP suspension,
        electric start, and light chassis, becoming a podium-capable MX weapon. The 250
        SX-F competes with the Kawasaki KX250 and the Kawasaki KLX 300R in the elite MX
        category.</p>

<p>KTM has confirmed that all its road-legal bikes&nbsp;(from the model year 2025 and above) will now be eligible for four years&nbsp;of standard warranty coverage regardless of engine size. The expanded Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty&nbsp;replaces the previous two-year coverage offered on the majority of the models sold in the global market. The warranty applies to the brand's entire street lineup, across segments, ranging from Naked and Supersport to Adventure and Supermoto.&nbsp;While KTM’s motorcycles in India already come with a five-year standard warranty&nbsp;that can be extended up to 10 years on select models, the 4 year warranty as standard&nbsp;on all road bikes overseas ensures greater reliability backing, improved&nbsp;resale prospects, and added peace&nbsp;of mind during ownership to customers abroad.</p><p>Commenting on this, Spela Kovacic, VP Global Customer Service, said 'We’re continuously evolving and strengthening our warranty coverage&nbsp;to stand firmly behind our products and deliver genuine peace of mind to our customers. By simply following the recommended service plan, riders can rely on comprehensive&nbsp;coverage in the event of any issue. The expansion underlines KTM’s confidence&nbsp; across its entire street range, extending a benefit previously limited to selected models.'</p><h2>KTM's New 4-year Warranty for MY2025 Bikes: Here's What's Not Included</h2><p>While the extended warranty applies to bikes across segments,  including the Adventure, Dual Sport, Naked, Supersport, Sports&nbsp;Tourer, and Supermoto, KTM has confirmed that the Track-only and closed-circuit competition machines are not eligible for it.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/ktm-390-adventure-first-ride-review-its-everything-you-wanted-and-more-119965/">KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: It's Everything You Wanted, And More!</a></p><p>Interested customers can check the full&nbsp;list of eligible motorcycles on KTM’s website.</p><h2>KTM's New 4-year Warranty for MY2025 Bikes: Ownership Change Will Not Affect Warranty Coverage</h2><p>The new 4-year warranty program is vehicle-specific and not tied to the rider.&nbsp;This means that the coverage will remain&nbsp;valid even after ownership changes. That said,&nbsp;the bike must undergo all scheduled maintenance&nbsp;in line with the official service plan at authorised&nbsp;KTM dealerships&nbsp;to maintain uninterrupted four-year coverage.&nbsp;</p>

KTM Announces 4-Year Standard Warranty for Road-Legal Bikes

The expanded KTM Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty replaces the previous two-year coverage offered on the majority of the models sold in the global market.

<p>When the high-performance supersport, the 990 RC R, made its global debut late last year,<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/"> KTM</a> announced that its track-spec version would arrive in February 2026. Fast forward to today, and the KTM 990 RC R Track&nbsp;entered the scene, with deliveries slated to begin in April. With all road-legal components removed, it is lighter than its standard counterpart. The track-only model also delivers more&nbsp;power from the same 947cc parallel-twin LC8c engine.  Here are all the key changes made to the 990 RC R&nbsp;‘a stripped-back, souped-up adrenaline monster primed for circuit use’.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/KTM-990-RC-R-Track-(1)-1772093137388.webp" alt="KTM 990 RC R Track (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <h2><strong>KTM 990 RC R Track: Key Highlights</strong></h2><p>To transform it into a purebred, non-street-legal supersport, KTM has removed several components, including lights,&nbsp;mirrors, the side stand, and other street-legal requirements.&nbsp;These changes have resulted in a significant weight reduction, making the new KTM track-ready model (181 kg kerb) approximately 14 kg lighter than its standard 990 RC R (195 kg kerb). KTM has also fitted a lightweight Akrapovic exhaust.</p>
    <p>The 990 RC R Track gets a slightly taller windscreen for a more tucked-in riding position. It comes with a wet-weather taillight and a paddock as standard. KTM states that the&nbsp;aerodynamics take cues from its MotoGP RC16,&nbsp;with sculpted wings and edges engineered to maximise downforce,&nbsp;cornering grip, and stability under hard acceleration.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-ends-long-term-partnership-with-kiska-design-agency-122975/">KTM Ends Long-Term Partnership with KISKA Design Agency</a></p><p>KTM has trimmed about 2 kg from the 990 RC R Track by using a more compact electronics system.&nbsp;Riders can choose from three Track modes&nbsp;to customise  traction, throttle response,  launch control, engine braking, wheel slip, and anti-wheelie.&nbsp;The bike also packs a pit limiter, a 4.2-inch full-color TFT screen, and&nbsp;a bi-directional quickshifter.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/KTM-990-RC-R-Track-(2)-1772093141285.webp" alt="KTM 990 RC R Track (2).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The 990 RC R Track stands out with Michelin Power Slick tyres and fully adjustable WP APEX suspension tuned for the circuit.&nbsp;Braking comes from Brembo Hypure callipers on a 320mm front and 240mm rear disc.</p><p>The 947cc parallel-twin LC8c engine in the track-ready 990 RC R produces 133bhp and 105Nm, around 5bhp and 2Nm more than the standard model, which generates 128bhp and 103Nm. The engine boasts a race-tuned gearbox with a longer first and shorter sixth gear. </p>

Track-Ready KTM 990 RC R Drops Weight, Gains Power

The 947cc parallel-twin LC8c engine in the KTM 990 RC R Track produces 133bhp and 105Nm, around 5bhp and 2Nm more than the standard model. 

<p>KTM has officially confirmed it is ending its long-standing partnership with KISKA, the design house that has defined the aesthetic of its motorcycles for over three decades. This collaboration, which began in the early 1990s, was instrumental in forging the sharp, aggressive motorcycle styling that riders globally now associate with the Austrian manufacturer. From pioneering off-road machines to the iconic "Ready to Race" look of the KTM Duke and Adventure ranges, the orange-and-angular identity carried a distinct KISKA signature. This split marks the conclusion of one of the most recognisable design partnerships in the history of the industry.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-250-adventure-get-free-accessories-10-year-extended-warranty-122961/">KTM 390, 250 Adventure Get Free Accessories, 10-Year Extended Warranty </a></p><p>Moving forward, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a> will transition its design operations into a specialised internal department. By bringing motorcycle development and styling under one roof, the company gains direct control over creative timelines and aesthetic synchronisation. The strategy behind this shift is to allow designers to work in closer proximity to the engineering teams to move faster on new models. This 'in-house' approach is a trend mirrored by many major automotive manufacturers aiming to tighten the process and move faster on production. For KTM, it ensures that the next generation of motorcycles will be shaped entirely within the brand’s own walls.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/KTM-Mattighofen-Production-Line--1753875341668.webp" alt="KTM Mattighofen Production Line .jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>It is impossible to overstate the role KISKA played in building KTM’s visual language through its signature sharp panels and minimal bodywork. The agency’s influence went beyond the bikes themselves, covering branding, marketing materials, and showroom designs across the Pierer Mobility AG portfolio, which includes Husqvarna and GasGas. With the exclusive tie-up ending, KISKA is expected to move on to work with new clients across the transport sector. However, KTM has stated that current projects with KISKA will continue until completion, so upcoming models already in the development pipeline will still follow the existing design language.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion-1747313152284.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>This decision arrives as Pierer Mobility AG continues to restructure its global operations to improve efficiency. Financial updates from the group point to an aggressive push for cost control and streamlined decision-making. By bringing design teams inside the company, KTM expects to reduce external consultancy fees and simplify the path from initial concept to the showroom floor. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure the brand remains competitive in an evolving global market where speed to market is increasingly critical for success.</p><p>Looking ahead, this change will guide the visual trajectory of future KTM motorcycles as an internal team takes over the brand's identity. While the company built its reputation on aggressive and minimal styling, this new phase allows for a fresh evolution of the 'Ready to Race' ethos. The first motorcycles created fully under the new in-house setup are expected to debut within the next two years. Even with the split, KTM and KISKA remain linked through decades of shared heritage, and parts for existing bikes will continue to be produced to original specifications.</p>

KTM Ends Long-Term Partnership with KISKA Design Agency

KTM ends its 30-year partnership with KISKA and moves motorcycle design in-house. The shift could shape the styling and identity of upcoming KTM bikes over the next years.

<p>Cosmetically, the new 200 Duke stands out with an Atlantic Blue colour scheme. The fuel tank and headlamp cowl sport an orange base, contrasted with blue highlights. This look is&nbsp;further enhanced with blue front fender and rear panels. While the silhouette remains the same, the graphics look are reminiscent of the 250 Duke.</p>

KTM 200 Duke Updated with Larger Front Disc, Lighter Alloy Wheels

Though the engine remains the same, the KTM 200 Duke is updated with new hardware and a fresh livery. Here's all you need to know about the 2026 model. 

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/390-adventure-r/">KTM 390 Adventure R</a> is now on sale in India at Rs 3.78 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing a more off-road focused setup to the brand’s popular 390 adventure platform. The new Adventure R sits next to the standard 390 Adventure but pushes deeper into off-road territory straight from the factory. Instead of small cosmetic updates, KTM has worked on areas that matter on long rides, broken highways and trail sections. With adventure touring picking up across India, the 390 Adventure R arrives as a machine built for adventure riding conditions rather than showroom appeal. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2026-triumph-trident-660-tiger-sport-660-globally-revealed-122748/">2026 Triumph Trident 660, Tiger Sport 660 Globally Revealed</a></p><p>It aims at those weekend escapes that slowly turn into longer rides, where wheel size, suspension travel and riding position start making a difference.</p><h2><strong>KTM 390 Adventure R: Design</strong></h2><p>At first glance, the design looks familiar, but the stance tells a different story. The bike runs a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup, which is what most riders want from an adventure bike for better control off the road. </p><p>

The body panels stay clean and purposeful, keeping the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/">KTM</a> identity intact.</p><h2><strong>KTM 390 Adventure R: Features</strong></h2><p>The feature list remains strong and practical. KTM has equipped the 390 Adventure R with ride modes, traction control and cornering ABS, letting riders switch settings depending on road or trail conditions. The TFT display keeps things simple with clear riding information and navigation support, making it useful during long-distance trips.</p><h2><strong>KTM 390 Adventure R: Engine</strong></h2><p>The KTM 390 Adventure R runs the 399cc single-cylinder LC4c engine, shared with the latest 390 models. It puts out 45.3bhp and 39Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motor feels strong where it matters most, with usable pull at low speeds and steady power on open stretches.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/KTM-390-Adventure-R-1769588365428.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure R.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Where the Adventure R really steps up is the suspension. The bike gets 230mm travel at both ends, supported by WP APEX components. This setup allows the motorcycle to handle bad roads, stones and uneven trails with better control than the standard version. </p>

KTM 390 Adventure R Launched at Rs 3.78 lakh in India

<p>KTM’s parent company has entered a new chapter as Pierer Mobility AG has officially changed its name to Bajaj Mobility AG. This change follows Bajaj Auto completing its full takeover of the group in late 2025.  The new name reflects the ownership structure and sets a clear direction for the group going forward. With Bajaj now fully in control, the focus shifts to how this partnership shapes product plans, racing programmes and global strategy. It also signals a reset at the corporate level, while the core motorcycle brands continue business as usual for riders worldwide.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bajaj-pulsar-range-gets-discounts-of-up-to-rs-7000-in-india-check-details-122577/">Bajaj Pulsar Range Gets Discounts of up to Rs 7,000 in India; Check Details</a></p><p>The Pierer Mobility name now exits the picture after Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV secured complete ownership of the group. The decision to rename the company was taken in November 2025 and has since been recorded in Austria’s commercial register. With this step complete, the transition from the earlier ownership phase is now formal and visible.</p><p>

Bajaj Auto has positioned the takeover as a step to stabilise operations and bring all brands under a single global structure. The key question now is how this backing supports future motorcycles and motorsport efforts.</p><p>

Around 500 jobs will be cut, mainly in white-collar and middle management roles. This follows an internal restructuring completed in 2025 and is aimed at managing costs and keeping the focus on the core motorcycle business.</p>

KTM Parent Company Rebranded to Bajaj Mobility AG

KTM’s parent company is now Bajaj Mobility AG after Bajaj Auto’s full takeover, marking a new phase for KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS with restructuring underway.

<p>KTM has updated its Duke portfolio for the global market, with the 250&nbsp;Duke benefiting from a subtle visual update. The motorcycle now comes&nbsp;with two new colour options, which include a reworked Ebony Black shade&nbsp;and a new silver colour. Mechanically, the bike remains unchanged and continues to draw power from the 249.7cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that churns out a maximum&nbsp;power of 30.5bhp and a peak torque of 25Nm. It is underpinned by a trellis frame, supported by WP Apex&nbsp;USD forks and a rear monoshock. Stopping power comes from a 320mm front and 240mm rear disc with Bybre callipers.</p><h2><strong>2026 KTM 250 Duke New Colours</strong></h2><p>For 2026, the updated Ebony Black colour makes its way to the global colour  palette of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ktm/250-duke/">KTM 250 Duke</a>. The orange treatment around the headlamp adds to the overall look,  making the front look sharper and more aggressive.</p><p>
