KTM has 2,65,000 unsold motorcycles in inventory

The massive accumulation of unsold inventory stems from several miscalculations in production strategy.

According to reports, KTM, which is currently amidst a severe financial crisis has managed to garner a massive inventory of unsold motorcycles.

A report from a German publication states that the brand has accumulated around 265,000 unsold motorcycles - equivalent to an entire year's worth of global sales. The report states that the massive accumulation of unsold inventory stems from several miscalculations in production strategy.

The German publication stated that despite the early signs of slowing demand, the brand continued its high-volume production from the previous year - resulting in excessive inventory. It further mentions that between January 2024 to October 2024, the storage costs of the excess inventory created a massive liquidity requirement of 440 million euros.

Amidst the financial troubles, KTM's parent company, Pierer Mobility AG, recently decided to drop its majority stake at MV Agusta.
