KTM to Launch 3 New 350cc Bikes in India Soon

KTM India has been gearing up to introduce the new 350cc motorcycle range in the country later this month. The move comes as part of the brand’s strategy to capitalise on the lower 18 per cent GST slab, which applies to sub-350cc motorcycles.

The upcoming KTM 350 lineup is expected to play a crucial role for the Austrian bikemaker in India, from a pricing standpoint. By positioning these bikes under the 350cc threshold, KTM aims to make the offerings more accessible without significantly compromising performance.

KTM is likely to adopt a two-pronged approach with the new range. While the 350cc motorcycles will cater to buyers seeking better value, the existing 390 lineup will continue to be on sale as more performance-focused offerings.

In terms of pricing, the new 350 range is expected to sit at a noticeable gap below the 390 models. For reference, the KTM 390 Duke retails at Rs. 3.39 lakh, while the 390 Adventure X has been priced at Rs. 3.43 lakh (both ex-showroom). The upcoming 350 motorcycles can be priced under Rs. 3 Lakh, thereby undercutting the 390s by close to Rs. 50,000.

The pricing strategy can make the 350 range particularly attractive to buyers seeks KTM’s signature performance and styling at a more accessible price point.
