KTM And Husqvarna Motorcycles Turn Substantially Costlier Than Before

The second round of price hikes during this year is ongoing and KTM-Husqvarna has also followed suit. Although manufacturers haven’t stated the exact reason behind the frequent price hikes, it might be because of the rise in input costs fuelled by the ongoing pandemic. Almost all the two-wheelers and four-wheelers have become expensive by a considerable margin. It might incite hardships for a potential owner but it is what it is.

More details

The company has raised prices for the third time this year. The first price hike happened in January 2021 and then the company followed up with another price hike in the month of April 2021.
