David Pieris Motor Company (Private) Limited (DPMC) relaunched KTM motorcycles in Sri Lanka after a lapse of five years, marking a significant milestone in the country’s performance motorcycling landscape and reaffirming the company’s commitment to delivering world-class mobility solutions to local riders.

The latest range of KTM motorcycles was unveiled at an exclusive launch event held at the DPMC showroom in Battaramulla. 

This much-anticipated relaunch reflected renewed momentum in the premium motorcycle segment and signalled the return of one of the world’s most celebrated high-performance motorcycle brands to Sri Lankan roads.

Prior to the import restrictions, DPMC successfully sold nearly 3,000 KTM motorcycles across several models, demonstrating strong demand and deep-rooted brand loyalty within the local market. Despite the absence of new imports over the past five years, KTM motorcycles already in the country continued to perform exceptionally well — a testament to the unmatched after-sales service, technical expertise and dedicated customer support consistently delivered by DPMC. This commitment ensured that the existing KTM owners continued to experience peak performance, reliability and riding satisfaction.

Globally, KTM has been widely recognised as Europe’s number one racing motorcycle brand and has maintained a dominant position in the high-performance motorcycle segment. The brand has sustained a strong presence across premier racing arenas, including MotoGP, Dakar Rally, motocross and leading international racing circuits, while also performing strongly in regional markets such as India, Nepal and more than 80 countries across the globe. 

As part of the relaunch, three key models were introduced to the Sri Lankan market —Duke 160, Duke 250 and Adventure 390 X — each designed to deliver a powerful combination of performance, agility and advanced rider-focused technology.
