KTM Moto3

KTM began in recent weeks to work on the project that should lead to the definition of a new race bike for 2012, the year that will debut in the new MotoGP class Moto3 (instead of the 125 cc), a category which would compete also the manufacturer of Mattighofen. With his experience in the categories motocross, enduro and supermoto displacement of 250 cc four-stroke, the house has enough experience to carry out a project of this type, which also fits in perfectly with the new Duke 250 cc intended to enter the market in a hypothetical period of time should not exceed 18 months.

Moto3 could mark the debut of a new and successful start to the racing activities of KTM, yet somewhat disappointing or at least not up to the reputation that the house has gained in the field instead of off road, also from the point where it reigns supreme commercially.

The fact that we start to even rumor of a possible Grand Prix in India is expected to bring the house to intensify their efforts, just as the Indian Bajaj are important shareholders of the Austrian group and you have to own them for the renewed interest Mattighofen small displacements, since the boom expected in this segment from Asian markets.

In short, all factors leading to think that KTM will soon become protagonist of the new class of entry-level championship, defying the fierce competition in a sector which so far has been very congenial.
