The Company That Owns Motocross Almost Went Bankrupt

How did KTM go from the European brand nobody feared to the most dominant force in motocross history — and then end up in an Austrian courtroom, unable to pay its bills? This is the full story: the "Ready to Race" plan, the Dungey and Webb Supercross titles, Cairoli and Herlings rewriting the MXGP record books, and the secret most fans miss — how one company (Pierer Mobility) put KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas on the same starting gate, on nearly the same bike, with its own suspension underneath. We break down how that empire was built, why it nearly collapsed in 2024, and who owns it now. Sources and corrections welcome in the comments — we read them. #Motocross #KTM #MXGP #Supercross #DirtBike
