KTM didn’t just win races in 2025; it rewrote its own history. Across road racing, motocross, rally, enduro and supercross, the Austrian manufacturer secured an extraordinary 28 major championship titles worldwide, setting a new annual benchmark for the brand and underlining its status as one of global motorsport’s most powerful forces.

In total, KTM riders claimed 16 international championships, while the company added 12 FIM manufacturers’ titles to its overflowing trophy cabinet. From world-level MotoGP grids to the dust of Dakar and the forests of Enduro, orange machinery stood on top of the podium with unprecedented frequency.

MotoGP and the Road Racing Front

On the world’s premier road racing stage, KTM continued to strengthen its presence in MotoGP with four riders pushing through the sport’s longest-ever 22-round calendar. The KTM RC16 delivered multiple Grand Prix podiums and Sprint race trophies, while rising star Pedro Acosta finished an impressive fourth overall in the riders’ standings.

Further down the ladder, KTM once again stamped its authority in Moto3. The KTM RC4 dominated the class, sweeping the Riders’, Teams’ and Constructors’ titles with overwhelming consistency, claiming wins in nearly every round of the season. It was another reminder that KTM’s production-based racing philosophy continues to work at the very highest level.

Motocross: A New Champion and Total Class Control

In MXGP and MX2, KTM’s influence was equally decisive. Belgian teenager Lucas Coenen stunned the paddock by finishing second overall in MXGP in his first full season on a 450cc machine, while veteran Jeffrey Herlings added further Grand Prix victories to his legendary record.

But it was MX2 where KTM truly owned the category. Simon Längenfelder captured the MX2 World Championship, becoming the twelfth different KTM rider to win the title since 2004. KTM riders won every Grand Prix in MX2, locking out most of the championship’s top positions in a season of total control.

Dakar, Rally-Raid and Offroad Supremacy

2025 began with a statement in the desert. Daniel Sanders delivered one of the most dominant Dakar Rally performances in history by winning every stage en route to overall victory on the KTM 450 RALLY. He later sealed the FIM Rally-Raid World Championship, while teammate Edgar Canet triumphed in both Dakar Rally2 and the FIM Rally2 World Cup.

These results pushed KTM’s Dakar win count to 21 victories, a figure that cements its legendary offroad reputation.

Enduro, Hard Enduro and SuperEnduro Excellence

KTM’s reach extended just as deeply into technical offroad racing. Josep Garcia claimed both EnduroGP and Enduro1 world titles, while GASGAS rider Andrea Verona topped the Enduro2 standings.

At the extreme edge of the sport, Manuel Lettenbichler continued his reign in Hard Enduro, while Billy Bolt went unbeaten on his way to another SuperEnduro world title.

Supercross and the American Stage

In the United States, KTM was once again a front-runner in AMA Supercross and Motocross. Tom Vialle secured the 250SX East Championship, while the factory squad collected multiple wins across the national season. The arrival of Eli Tomac for 2026 further signals KTM’s long-term commitment to American racing.

A Three-Brand Motorsport Empire

KTM’s success is no longer a single-brand story. Across KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS, the group now boasts an immense 536 combined world championship titles:

• KTM: 371 titles
• Husqvarna: 122 titles
• GASGAS: 43 titles

That scale of achievement reflects not just racing ambition, but a deliberate, long-term motorsport strategy built around athlete development, technical innovation and global competition.

More Than Victories, A Motorsport Statement

Across 247 races in 2025, KTM factory riders collected 101 wins and 250 podiums. Those numbers tell a story of sustained performance across vastly different disciplines, terrains and racing cultures.

Rather than relying on dominance in just one category, KTM’s 2025 season proved something far greater: true multi-discipline supremacy. From asphalt to sand, from stadium supercross to mountain enduro, the orange brand didn’t just compete, it led.

With momentum like this, 2025 won’t be remembered as just another good year for KTM. It may be remembered as the season the brand set a new global standard for what motorsport dominance truly looks like.
