A season of dedication and teamwork delivered 28 major racing championships worldwide through a spread of disciplines in 2025 – including 16 international rider crowns, and 12 FIM manufacturer titles. The unprecedented accumulation represents a new annual benchmark for the company. KTM extends its sincere thanks to all factory riders and independent competitors, along with their teams, for their valuable contribution, unwavering dedication, and loyalty throughout the various competitive campaigns.
The continued belief in a multi-brand race division – both as a tool to highlight brand values and to advance technical development in elite competition – means that KTM were able to maintain its reputation as a worldclass motorsport leader in 2025. Riders and Constructors titles were secured across the board and in various disciplines. This huge effort was made in demanding conditions, with humility under pressure and thanks to the commitment and dedication of KTM staff at the factory, Motorsport HQ, the specialists in race teams that travel the continents, thoroughbred motorcycles, a band of loyal partners and, of course, amazingly talented and hard-working racers.
In 2025 the company celebrated 12 Riders FIM World Championships, 4 Riders crowns in significant contests and 12 Constructors titles. KTM Factory Racing riders completed 247 races this year and toasted 101 victories and 250 podium places, split between MotoGP™, MXGP, Enduro, Rally and AMA SuperMotocross.
ROAD RACING
The ninth season of MotoGP for Red Bull KTM and its two-team, four-rider effort on the KTM RC16 produced a further 6 Grand Prix podium finishes and 8 Sprint rostrum medals. Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales completed the longest calendar in MotoGP history with 22 fixtures in 18 countries, watched by ten sold-out circuits and more than 3.6 million spectators at the fences. Acosta bagged 4th place in the Riders’ standings by the end of the affair. The same rider roster recently engaged in the first one-day test towards 2026 and, in September, KTM was the first factory of the five on the grid to reveal their 850cc engine for 2027 and the forthcoming new era of technical regulations.
In Moto2, Deniz Öncü was luckless with injury but the Turk still contributed two victories in Aragon and Germany while rookie teammate Collin Veijer progressed to grasp his first trophy before the finale of the season. Thanks to the push by replacement rookie Daniel Muñoz, the Red Bull KTM Ajo team climbed the rostrum five times in 2025.
The KTM RC4 was the dominant motorcycle once more in Moto3™. Red Bull KTM Ajo scooped Riders and Teams titles, thanks to the speed of Jose Antonio Rueda, and KTM won the Constructors duel at round 15 of 22. The bike earned 20 of 22 Grands Prix and pegged 49 podium spots from a possible 66. 540 from 550 points were marked while 18 Pole Positions were set with the KTM RC4. Since the inception of Moto3 in 2012, KTM machinery has lifted 8 Riders and 9 Constructors championships in 14 seasons.
Brian Uriarte was the nineteenth Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup winner and the Spaniard doubled-up with world championship success in FIM JuniorGP (KTM also confirming the JuniorGP Constructors plate) to book his spot with Red Bull KTM Ajo in Moto3 in 2026.
OFFROAD
Red Bull KTM hunted top honors in the MXGP FIM Motocross World Championship and led a multi-rider assault on the statistics. 2025 provided 20 Grands Prix, 40 motos (39 in MXGP) and 20 Qualification Heats each category. 19-year-old Lucas Coenen took the KTM 450 SX-F to 2nd place in the MXGP series in his first attempt and Jeffrey Herlings added five more Grands Prix to his record number of wins. Red Bull KTM aced 11 GPs, 22 motos and took 21 overall podiums.
Most notably Simon Längenfelder became the twelfth different factory rider since 2004 to own the MX2 world championship with 250cc machinery for what was the seventeenth title for the company. Factory MX2 riders won every single GP and filled five of the first six championship positions, grabbing 36 motos wins with 52 podium champagne bottles. Red Bull KTM won both MXGP and MX2 categories on the same day at seven GPs in 2025.
KTM equipment assumed the role of Constructors #1 in MX2, MXGP and the Women’s World Championship, as well as the FIM Junior Motocross World Champion 85cc class.
2025 started in the heat and sand of the Dakar Rally. Daniel Sanders excelled in one of the toughest events in the world by taking the KTM 450 RALLY to P1 by leading every single stage, becoming only the second rider to do so in the history of the famous race. The Australian helped raise the company´s prolificacy to 21 Dakar victories since the first in 2001. Sander then continued his run in the FIM World Rally-Raid series by pocketing the championship while unbeaten in four of five fixtures. Rookie teammate Edgar Canet forged an outstanding season, winning the Dakar Rally in the Rally2 category and claiming the FIM Rally2 World Cup. Thanks to this level of performance by the Red Bull KTM team and the speed and resilience of the KTM 450 RALLY, the factory obtained the Rally-Raid Manufacturers title.
Across the time zones, 2025 SuperMotocross (AMA Supercross and Motocross) was getting underway. Chase Sexton would miss out on the 450SX championship title on the KTM 450 SX-F by just two points but teammate Aaron Plessinger scored a popular AMA Main Event win. Tom Vialle added a second 250SX East title to his CV with the Red Bull KTM 250 SX-F. More wins and podiums were gathered in the AMA Pro National Motocross campaign, an 11-round trek across the breadth of the United States and on demanding tracks in summer conditions, and then further recognition was gained in the SMX Play-offs. Red Bull KTM welcomed Eli Tomac to the fold for 2026 and the multi champion ran to P1 in his debut appearance on the KTM 450 SX-F at the Canadian GP and the second round of FIM World Supercross in Vancouver.
The sphere of FIM Enduro was another Factory rider/team domain with star names like Josep Garcia, Manuel Lettenbichler, Andrea Verona and Billy Bolt standing on the highest steps of series and signature international events. 2025 was another highlight for Garcia with EnduroGP and Enduro1 championships with his KTM EX-F hardware and eight wins. The Spaniard then capped the year with a fifth consecutive individual triumph at the FIM 6Days Enduro of Nations in Italy. Andrea Verona rode to the peak of the standings in Enduro2 while the gnarly schools of FIM Hard Enduro and FIM SuperEnduro were overseen by Lettenbichler and Bolt respectively. The German and the Brit had more 2025 distinction: Lettenbichler making the ‘set’ with Red Bull Romaniacs and Red Bull Erzbergrodeo victories and Bolt going undefeated in SuperEnduro for his fourth FIM gold medal.
Success is earned through work, focus and talent. Therefore KTM would again like to thank all factory riders and independent competitors as well as their teams for their valuable contribution, unwavering dedication, and loyalty throughout 2025.
