KTM motorcycles likely to get costlier from June 1
What's the story
KTM India is likely to increase the prices of most of its motorcycle range from June 1, according to Bikewale. The revision is expected to cover a wide range of models, including the recently launched 160 Duke and flagship 390 Adventure S. Reports indicate that the price hike could be between ₹4,000-6,000 per unit.
Model updates
Price hike to exclude CBU models
The price revision is also expected to include KTM's newly launched 350cc models. However, larger capacity motorcycles that are brought into India as Completely Built Units (CBUs) are likely to remain unaffected by this price hike. The exact reason for the expected revision isn't clear, but it could be due to rising input and production costs.
