Bajaj Auto has announced that it will relaunch the motorcycles of KTM in Sri Lanka. The announcement was recently shared through the company’s social media channels, confirming that popular models from the Duke and Adventure lineup will return to the Sri Lankan market.
Although the company has not officially confirmed the complete list of motorcycles that will be launched, the teaser images shared during the announcement gave some strong hints. The models seen include the KTM 160 Duke, KTM 250 Duke, and KTM 390 Adventure X. This suggests that these motorcycles could be among the first to be introduced when the brand returns to Sri Lanka.
The relaunch of KTM motorcycles is expected to help strengthen the brand’s presence in the region. KTM has built a strong reputation among motorcycle enthusiasts for its performance-focused bikes and sporty design. By bringing back the Duke and Adventure series, Bajaj aims to reconnect with riders who are interested in premium performance motorcycles.
Along with introducing new motorcycles, Bajaj also plans to focus on improving the overall customer experience. This may include better dealership support, service facilities, and the organization of community riding events for KTM owners. Such initiatives are often used by brands to build stronger relationships with their customers and create a loyal riding community.
This move also reflects Bajaj’s broader global strategy for KTM. After increasing its stake in the company, Bajaj has been working closely with the Austrian manufacturer to expand the brand’s presence in various international markets.
In other related developments, KTM recently ended its long partnership with KISKA, the design firm that played a major role in shaping the look of many KTM motorcycles over the years.
