While KTM AG announced it had big plans for the future, with a rebooting process laid out a few weeks ago, it is not going as smoothly as hoped. In the days leading up to a crucial vote on the company’s future, the production line has shut down again as the company does not have the funding it needs.
This news comes out of European media outlets, with GPOne reporting that the issue comes with supply chain problems. KTM does not make all the components for its bikes in-house; many parts come from third-party manufacturers like Brembo. GPOne reports there is currently a spending freeze that prohibits the factory from buying such components, and that’s why production is stopped. If they can’t make the components themselves, they can’t finish building the bikes.
