MV Agusta confirms that Art of Mobility S.A., a company controlled by the Sardarov family, will regain full control of the MV Agusta Group, officially marking its separation from KTM.

After a successful year for MV Agusta, the financial situation recently unfolded at PIERER Mobility AG could have significantly impacted the Schiranna brand’s operations. This strategic agreement ensures that MV Agusta remains completely uninvolved in KTM’s ongoing financial restructuring process, allowing the company to continue its positive growth path. Over the past 18 months, MV Agusta has strengthened its financial stability under a fully revitalised management team. In 2024, the company sold 4,000 motorcycles, achieving an annual growth rate of 116% compared to 2023, with last year’s total sales already matched by July. 2024 also marked MV Agusta’s best year ever in parts sales, with a 99% availability rate covering models produced up to seven years ago.

With this move, the company also aims to safeguard its valued network of suppliers and dealers, shielding them from any potential financial disruptions, keeping them from being affected by KTM’s restructuring process, reinforcing MV Agusta’s stability and commitment to its stakeholders.
As for MV Agusta’s global sales network, all 219 active sales points, including 41 service points, will continue business as usual, with the total number expected to reach 270 this year. Additionally, 20 non-European importers are already part of the distribution network. MV Agusta’s business partners have played a crucial role in the company's 2024 achievements, and they will continue to be key contributors to the brand’s future growth.

The company has everything in place to continue its positive expansion and to keep delivering on its commitments. MV Agusta’s operations remain fully independent, with Varese proudly continuing to serve as the central hub for all key activities, including product development, production, sales, marketing, and after-sales services. The development of next generation of motorcycles is progressing as planned, paving the way for a renewed, innovative, exclusive range and as always focused on celebrating its famous claim ‘Motorcycle Art’.

Timur Sardarov – CEO of Art of Mobility S.A.: "This is a moment of pride for all of us at MV Agusta. Regaining full control of the company means we are now stronger and more focused than ever on delivering excellence. Over the past two years, the company has significantly strengthened its processes, systems, and workforce. These structural changes are the foundation of the extraordinary results achieved in 2024 and will continue to drive our success in the years to come. I have full confidence in our leadership team, whose vision, combined with the dedication and professionalism of our renewed dealer network, will take MV Agusta to new heights. My commitment, and that of my family, is to be a vital force for the Varese team, the region, and all our partners."

Yamaha’s WR250F and WR450F enduro bikes feature some of the smartest technology in the off-road world. Derived from their championship and race-winning motocross counterparts, both WR450F and WR250F stand out in the enduro world as the ultimate go-anywhere off-road motorcycle and for 2025, the WR250F looks set to propel riders to victory with a wave of performance, handling, and ergonomic improvements to raise the bar once again in the 250cc enduro class.

2025 WR250F: MORE FEEL, CLASS-LEADING SUSPENSION, UNRIVALLED AGILITY

Developed from Yamaha’s Grand Prix winning YZ250F motocross machine and built to conquer the most technical of trails, the heavily revised WR250F is ready to offer race-winning performance through a wide range of riding conditions in 2025.

A series of refinements include a new cam chain to reduce friction loss, an optimised bilateral-beam frame for enhanced rider feel and agility, best-in-class KYB suspension for improved stability and shock absorption, enhanced power delivery through a new high-efficiency air management system, plus new compact bodywork including a slimmer and flatter seat.

For next-level handling, the WR250F’s redesigned chassis takes inspiration from the race-winning YZ250F’s design but includes key refinements for enduro riding at the top level. The frame now features a 15mm lower tank rail with a U-shape rear profile, with the connecting tension pipe also dropped by 15mm to lower the bike’s centre of gravity to aid cornering stability and agility.

To give the rider as much feel and feedback as possible, the bump absorption and lateral flex characteristics of the new frame were given heavy focus in development to help soak up the shocks from uneven terrain and provide a smoother ride while also reducing rider fatigue.

Revised KYB front forks featuring a 10mm shorter stroke, coupled with a new KYB rear shock running 10mm lower than before, drop the bike’s centre of gravity and reduce the seat height for increased levels of stability and agility.

In addition, the front forks feature a convenient hand-adjustable compression damping system to allow suspension settings to be fine-tuned without tools, while strengthened dust seals and widened fork guard areas provide enhanced protection against dirt and debris, ensuring longer-lasting performance and durability.

Down at the rear wheel, a new lightweight 3-cross spoke rear hub and new 22mm rear axle designed for improved feeling during shock absorption, raises the WR250F’s rider feedback to the next level.

To improve power characteristics, the 2025 WR250F features a redesigned high-efficiency air-management system complete with a new air box, drawing air from the rear through ducts in the new side panels, frame, and tank. A newly designed short muffler enhances mass centralisation and emphasises the bike's compact feel, while the updated ECU has been tuned to deliver smoother, more controllable low-end grunt and excellent mid-to-high-speed performance.

The 2025 uprated reverse-head engine is also equipped with a new cam chain design, with a wider chain, revised sprockets and dampers to reduce friction loss.

Elsewhere, the WR250F’s redesigned bodywork features 50mm slimmer shrouds, a slimmer fuel tank, and a flatter seat to improve rider mobility during braking, acceleration, and cornering. The new riding position provides more space between hips and feet and more freedom for active riding.

Also a new starter motor, lithium-ion battery and convenient multi-function button cluster are introduced to elevate the overall quality.

2025 WR450F: THE ENDURO MASTER

The latest WR450F, also heavily revised last year, offers a similarly class-leading specification, offering a whole new level of controllability for ultimate performance on all types of fast, slippery, and technical terrain. With both engine and chassis derived from the MXGP race-winning YZ450F, the WR450F delivers motocross-level technology tweaked to tackle even the toughest terrain.

For 2025, both the WR450F and WR250F see the addition of the seamless-skin seat seen on the motorcross models, while striking new Icon Blue graphics from a stylish new look.

For 2025, the iconic KTM 690 ENDURO R is joined by a brace of smaller models, proudly wearing the ENDURO R nameplate.

Tough, reliable, and true to their ENDURO R moniker, the 2025 KTM 125 ENDURO R and KTM 390 ENDURO R thrive in the dirt but are just as home in the urban jungle as they are on the mountain trails.

The KTM 390 ENDURO R and KTM 125 ENDURO R enter a new segment of the market. With long travel suspension, 21/18-inch spoke wheels, a new minimal TFT dashboard, and even the option of turning ABS completely off, they provide real-world, dual sport ability while setting the benchmark in the segment.

The new 2025 KTM 125 ENDURO R and KTM 390 ENDURO R will be hitting showroom floors in early 2025. For more information, visit KTM.com.

For 2025, the supermoto segment receives two welcome additions in the shape of the KTM 125 SMC R and KTM 390 SMC R.

These small-capacity SMC R models offer the accessibility and ease of use of a compact single-cylinder motorcycle while providing dynamic riding experiences with real-world usability – with true READY TO RACE attitude. 

The KTM 125 SMC R and KTM 390 SMC R bring supermoto thrills to a wider audience. Boasting long travel suspension, 17” wheels, grippy tires, and a specifically curated selection of rider aids and tech, they provide real-world, sporty riding in an accessible, rider-friendly package.

Yamaha's iconic Ténéré should need no introduction. The bike which dominated the gruelling Paris Dakar Rally in the 1990s will forever be remembered as one of the many legendary motorcycles in Yamaha's storied history, and the Ténéré 700 honoured that heritage when the path to the Next Horizon was unveiled in 2018.

Powered by the acclaimed CP2 engine and delivering genuine go-anywhere adventure riding in a lighter and more accessible package, the Ténéré 700 was an immediate success that has transformed the world of adventure motorcycling.

Despite increased competition, the Ténéré 700 has remained the best-selling bike in its class and now, for 2025, comes a new generation of Ténéré 700 set to build on the Ténéré legacy. It remains an exciting machine inspired by Yamaha's rally successes but is now even more accessible to a wider range of motorcyclists.

Alongside a new standard Ténéré 700 comes a lower seat height variant with shorter travel suspension to create a motorcycle which appeals to riders who don't want the tallest riding position while, conversely, the new Ténéré 700 Rally offers a true pumped-up off-road style ride and higher specification for the more discerning off-road enthusiast.

With a higher specification, bold new rally styling and subtle but important developments to the critically acclaimed CP2 platform, the 2025 Ténéré 700 range is a serious evolution which keeps Yamaha at the forefront of this increasingly popular class.

And while Yamaha has increased the specification of the Ténéré 700, witness the introduction of the YCC-T electronic throttle, riding modes and upgraded suspension, the design team has been careful not to add technology for technology's sake. Electronic aids increase the rider's engagement with the motorcycle, while never becoming overwhelming or unnecessary, while adjustments to meet the rider's personal needs or road conditions are always simple to make and effective in delivery.

More than ever, the Ténéré 700 is the go anywhere motorcycle which enables riders to travel without limits. Its broad appeal makes it the go-to bike for a wide variety of riders, from daily riders who enjoy the appeal and presence only the iconic Ténéré brings, to serious off-road riders looking to take on more challenging terrain. With an A2 licence version available, the Ténéré 700 has riders of all ages and experience covered.

Where Ténéré leads, others are sure to follow in pursuit of the Next Horizon.

Yamaha Motor Europe (YME) and the Yamaha Austria Racing Team (YART) GYTR Pro Shop have unveiled three stunning limited-edition replicas of the Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team R1, on which the team claimed their first Suzuka 8 Hours podium this year.

The YART squad secured second place in the overall standings of the 2024 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) season after a sensational season that saw them claim third at the 24 Heures Motos in Le Mans, win the 8 Hours of Spa Motos, and record another third at the Bol d’Or. 

Arguably, the highlight of their year, though, was their incredible second-place finish at the Suzuka 8 Hours, which fulfilled a lifelong ambition for the team and its manager, Mandy Kainz, to score a podium at the legendary endurance race in Japan.

This result inspired the decision to create three new Suzuka 8 Hours R1 replicas featuring the special livery the YART team ran in Japan. Each model offers a distinct step up in performance, with each upgrade bringing the bikes ever closer to the EWC-spec YART R1. 

Commissioned by YART and supported by YME, the new special edition replicas come with an array of high-performance upgrades and unique features, depending on which package you choose: the Base model, the Evo version or the Factory edition.

The Base model produces 200bhp and comes with high-performance Öhlins race suspension, including FGK 219 front forks, a TTX YA468 rear shock, plus a race specification steering dampener. It also features an Akrapovič factory exhaust kit, and lightweight Marchesini forged aluminium wheels with Bridgestone V02 race slicks fitted front and rear.

Brembo manufactured the brakes, including the high-quality GP4-RX callipers, Z04 pads, and T-Drive discs, with the Italian company also providing the remote brake adjuster fitted to the machine.

All of the bikes feature numerous Genuine Yamaha Technology for Racing (GYTR) parts, including the latest rear quick-change system to make replacing the rear wheel quicker during a tyre change, as well as racing footrests, ECU and quick action throttle, which are all essential components on Yamaha's racing machines.

The Evo model takes things to the next level with an even more track-focused suspension setup that includes the addition of Öhlins FGR252 front forks. The Brembo brakes are updated to GP4-MS callipers, plus it gets a nickel-coated rear calliper and CNC PR18x19 master callipers to improve stopping performance even more. Plus, it also comes with a BMC air filter.

Finally, the Factory edition of the bike has all of the Evo’s upgrades, but in addition, it has the full GYTR engine kit fitted with upgraded GYTR internals, including camshafts, pistons, conrods, valve springs, and much more, that increase the power output of the bike to a staggering 220bhp, bringing it even closer to the full EWC race-spec YART R1.

All bikes are available with free delivery across Europe. To find out more, check out the full specifications of each model, or to place your order for one of the limited edition Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team Suzuka 8 Hours R1 replicas, head to the YART GYTR Pro Shop website.

Mandy Kainz 
Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team – Team Manager

“We are delighted to introduce these exclusive Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team Suzuka 8 Hours R1 replicas. The three different versions give customers the choice of how close they want to get to the full EWC-spec R1, and the livery is quite simply beautiful. It was a dream of mine and everyone who works in the team to secure our maiden Suzuka podium; these bikes represent a fantastic way to celebrate this achievement. I would like to thank everyone at YART, YME, and all of our partners who have done an incredible job of bringing this project to fruition and producing three distinct but equally magnificent track bikes.”

READY TO RACE is more than a slogan for KTM. It defines our existence. In competition, there are highs and lows, daring and disappointment, and victory and defeat. 2024 has been a year of conquests but also challenges for the company. Heading into 2025 and the future, there are more jumps, ruts, and bumps ahead - but we are not letting off the throttle.

2024 has been a remarkable year for KTM, marked by bold innovation, thrilling victories, and unwavering customer dedication. While challenges are part of any great journey, we see them as an opportunity to accelerate toward an even brighter future. 

It is no secret that KTM AG is navigating a shifting economic landscape. However, as our READY TO RACE mantra suggests, we are embracing this moment to realign, refuel, and reinvigorate. KTM remains fully committed to delivering exceptional experiences to our current and future customers. We will continue to thrill and find our way to the top of the podium again.

Racing is where we show our brand, our engineering and our passion for the chase. Over the past year, our motorsport teams continued to achieve greatness. We started the season with a staggering 341 FIM World Championship Titles. The globe-trotting calendars involved more than 1,480 race starts and brought us 246 podiums and 150 wins across various disciplines. Of course, there were hardships and injuries—these go with the turf—but KTM impressively added 11 more hard-fought titles to the record. 

Off the racing line, the KTM brand has also been extremely active this year. The brand unveiled 59 new models, hosted three international media launches with 152 media partners in attendance, successfully pulled off three customer events with 283 participants, and returned to EICMA, the world’s largest motorcycle show, with a massive 1,635 m² booth along with 17 new KTM products. 

There has been a strong push behind these new motorcycles, as well as efforts to ensure we maintain momentum in the right areas. KTM is applying the same forward-thinking approach during this restructuring phase. Our goal over the next 90 days is to stabilize the business while setting the foundation for sustained growth and success. 

Throughout this period, KTM guarantees the continuation of motorcycles being delivered through our Authorized KTM Dealer network. The same goes for our spare parts, technical accessories, customer service support and warranties which remain unchanged, ensuring ongoing and unwavering support throughout this period. 

The work and the desire for the latest edgy, extreme and adventurous motorcycles goes on. KTM is preparing the launch of a brace of highly anticipated models, which will be in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2025. This again shows our pledge to remain as one of Europe’s leading motorcycle manufacturer well into the future. 

Be it isolated ice-clad tundras, heavily wooded forests, or dried-up riverbeds, the 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R is ready to cross borders in search of new, uncharted ground.

The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R sits at the top of the offroad Adventure food chain and obliterates all challengers. The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R, provides off-grid Adventure motorcyclists with the ideal platform to travel beyond the beaten track. 

For 2025, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R features an all-new bodywork design, LED lighting, a shorter, more offroad-focused windshield, and more storage binnacles. The 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R sees an increase in frame stiffness, improving handling and track stability. A reworked crash bar – fitted as standard on the SUPER ADVENTURE R – has also been stiffened up to provide better protection thanks to an additional arm towards the engine bracket. 

Unlike the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S and S EVO, the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R is fitted with a more traditional suspension setup better suited to harder offroad use, with a 48 mm WP XPLOR split cartridge fork and WPs XPLOR Progressive Damping System (PDS) shock taking care of duties at the rear end.

Engine displacement is increased from 1,300 to 1,350 cc, producing a staggering 173 Ps @ 9,500 rpm and 145 Nm @ 8,000 rpm, with all-new CAMSHIFT™ technology providing improved rideability in the low rpm range. This makes for a smoother response when negotiating tight trails. 

The innovative CAMSHIFT technology provides variable-valve timing with two individual cam profiles. At higher revs, the inlet cams shift sideways, opening the valves longer and higher for more gas flow into the cylinder head, which drastically increases performance, while in the lower rev range, the inlet cams have a reduced valve timing and lift. This results in a noticeable increase in rideability in both normal road conditions around town and high-performance use on faster, open roads. 

The KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R also receives KTM’s new premium electronics package, with an all-new 8” vertical-mounted dashboard. The 8” touchscreen features inductive technology, allowing easy operation – even when wearing thick winter or offroad gloves. The screen also features innovative Anti-reflex, anti-fingerprint, and anti-glare coating which improves overall readability, as well giving riders access to new RIDE MODES, built-in Navigation, and Connectivity features. 

The new 2025 KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE R will be rolling off the Austrian production line in 2025. For more information, visit KTM.com.
