KTM's world has been one of shore-eroding waves in the last two years, as the company has faced financial uncertainty that many believed would spell the Austrian motorcycling company's doom. That, however, didn't happen, although only by a narrow margin. KTM, for the most part, is now in the secure hands of its new owners, Bajaj, and the company has been making moves to right the ship.
As such, mounting new-old inventory has been reduced, production is back on schedule, motorcycles are debuting, staffs are stabilizing, and apart from a Dieselgate-like scandal brewing in Europe over the brand's enduro models, the waves have mostly calmed down. Part of that stabilization, however, is due to Bajaj and KTM securing new executive leadership, with the brand recently poaching BMW's Stephan Reiff to become KTM's new Chief Commercial Officer.
