KTM bikes to come with 4-year standard warranty: Details explained

KTM has announced an expanded warranty programme for its road-legal motorcycles. Starting with the 2025 model year, all street-legal KTM motorcycles sold in global markets will now come with a 4-year standard warranty, doubling the earlier coverage period offered on most models.

The new warranty policy applies to all road-going KTM motorcycles regardless of engine capacity. This means bikes across several segments including Adventure, Dual Sport, Naked, Supersport, Sports Tourer and Supermoto will be covered under the updated programme. However, KTM has clarified that the policy will not apply to track-only machines and off-road dirt bikes, which remain outside this warranty scheme.

Earlier, most road-legal KTM motorcycles came with a 2-year standard warranty. With the new announcement, the company has effectively doubled the coverage period to four years for models produced from MY2025 onwards. The programme also includes motorcycles manufactured in different parts of the world, including the sub-400cc single-cylinder bikes produced by Bajaj Auto as well as larger multi-cylinder models made at KTM’s global facilities.

KTM’s portfolio spans a wide range of motorcycles, with engine capacities ranging from 125cc to 1,350cc across single- and twin-cylinder configurations. Under the new policy, all road-going models within this lineup will be eligible for the extended coverage once they are produced as MY2025 motorcycles.

Does this warranty expansion impact Indian buyers?

It is important to note that the new 4-year standard warranty has been introduced for overseas markets. In India, KTM motorcycles already come with a 5-year standard warranty, which can be optionally extended to up to 10 years, depending on the coverage plan chosen by the customer.

In the Indian market, KTM is best known for its performance-oriented naked and sport motorcycles. Popular models include the KTM Duke 200, KTM Duke 390 and KTM RC 200. The brand also offers other options such as the KTM Duke 250 and the adventure-focused KTM 390 Adventure.
