KTM builds some of the world’s most potent off-road motorcycles. The Austrian manufacturer won their first motocross championship in 1974 and has gone on to become one of the most successful names in all of motorsports, winning more than 250 world championships in motocross, supercross, enduro, cross-country, desert racing, and more.
With that kind of racing pedigree, KTM attracts builders who want a truly capable off-road scrambler — not just a stylistic exercise with chunky tires and motocross bars. Below, we present some of the KTM scramblers we’ve featured here at BikeBound, many of which were built to race, not just look good parked in front of the local cafe.
