The Duke 200 units sold by Bajaj in India were included for the first time. Despite a still declining overall market, especially in Europe, these increases in sales are followed by considerable market share gains. The market share in Europe could be increased by approximately 41% which means a share of 7% of the total European market for the first time. "This strong development results from a new vehicle concept in the offroad sector with the Freeride 350 and the extremely successful launch of the new street model Duke 690. Our product range in the Naked Bike segment now reaches from 125 to 690 ccm" explains Hubert Trunkenpolz, CSO of KTM AG. Further inquiry note: KTM AG Mag.
