Troubled bike maker KTM, has announced a return to full production at its main Mattighofen plant. The firm says it restarted full-time, five-day operations at the end of July, marking what it called a “significant milestone for the company and its global community of riders, dealers and employees.”
The factory has restarted the assembly lines with its off-road line-up to get its 2026 models into stock and has announced new dirt bikes in the KTM, GasGas, and Husqvarna ranges. It’s also bringing the single-cylinder LC4c bikes back into production, with the new 2026 690 Enduro R and SMC R models also being released. More bikes are set to follow in the run-up to the European bike shows this autumn.
KTM AG CEO Gottfried Neumeister, said: “A special thank you goes to our employees, who have made this restart possible through their tremendous dedication, flexibility, and team spirit over the past months. Their commitment during one of the most challenging phases has been – and continues to be – a key success factor for the company’s future development. Restarting production gives us the stability we need to fully refocus on quality, customer proximity, and further development.”
