About KTM AG

Johann (Hans) Trunkenpolz was an Austrian (Europe) engineer who had set up a shop for repairing and selling DKW motorcycles in 1934 by the name of Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen (KTM). Due to fewer demands for repair and the market drop during and after second world war he started thinking about producing his own Bikes. The prototype of his first bike R100 was developed in 1951. It went through multiple acquisitions and ownership since then it has become a pioneer in the off-road motorcycles sector worldwide.
