KTM is the leading European motorcycle manufacturer—a title the company has enjoyed since 2012. Many factors go into the company's popularity, such as the quality of their models and the models' success on the racetrack. Knowing you want to own your own KTM motorbike is one thing, but knowing which model to pick is another! We've created the following buyer's guide to help you narrow your search. If you have questions or want to shop KTM motorcycles for sale, head over to Crossroad Powersports. Our dealership is based in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. We also proudly serve those in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware.

For the Competitive Spirit

Put your skills to the test in a motocross race—and cross the finish line first with a KTM motorcycle. There are some models, such as the KTM 450 SX-F, made with racing in mind. The engine is able to offer all the power potential you need without slowing down the frame, given it's the lightest engine on the MX market. In fact, the motorcycle itself is constructed to offer the most strength and performance at the lowest possible weight.

For the Outdoor Enthusiast

Not everyone wants to stick to the paved road. Some KTM motorcycles, such as the KTM 250 XC-W TPI, are crafted to handle whatever terrain you throw their way. Plenty of innovative design features promote the best riding experience possible. The chassis on the KTM 250 SX, for example, is built to reduce the harshness typically found on rugged off-road trails. The steel frame is crafted from chrome-moly, which allows it to absorb hits while still providing impressive agility and stability at high speeds. These motorbikes are great for adrenaline junkies!

For the Endurance Rider

If long-distance rides call your name, you'll need a motorcycle equipped for endurance riding. No one wants to cut their ride short due to aching limbs and sore muscles. That's why there are KTM motorcycles designed with touring in mind. These sport touring models, such as the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT, are packed with plenty of rider comfort features. The models are built to facilitate ease of movement and easy adjustments so that riders can optimize their riding experience. Many of these models can even handle a second passenger—and their comfort is factored in as well. Bring along a friend or family member and you will both enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride.

For Your Child

Get your kid's motorcycle journey started off on the right foot when you purchase a KTM youth motorcycle. These models, such as the KTM 85 SX 17/14 are crafted with younger riders in mind. They offer enough power to please a teenager, but without worrying any of the parents. The frame and riding position are also adapted to suit youth riders, who tend to be shorter and lighter than their adult counterparts. It's easy to learn to ride on a KTM motorbike!
