According to a recent report by the Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten, Pit Beirer, head of KTM’s motorsport department, confirmed that there will be no changes in 2025 due to the current financial situation.
Pit Beirer: “We will stay in all the series we are in. Whatever we do, we do with 100 percent. But the focus is now entirely on orange. In some series, we are currently represented with three times the effort. Motorsport and the company’s success over the last 20 years are directly linked. We are the company’s best marketing tool. The company has had linear growth for over 20 years. We won races and then sold motorcycles. That’s the secret of success. We are ‘Ready to Race’ and we do not engage in motorsport as an end in itself. We are now in a very difficult phase and we, as the motorsport department, will do our part to stabilize the company. We are part of the family and we have to stick together now. We also learned to fight in sport. We give the company everything we have and will get through this together.”
