2024 has been a remarkable year for KTM, marked by bold innovation, thrilling victories and unwavering customer dedication. While challenges are part of any great journey, KTM sees them as an opportunity to accelerate toward an even brighter future. 

It is no secret that KTM AG is navigating a shifting economic landscape. However, as the company’s READY TO RACE mantra suggests, KTM is embracing this moment to realign, refuel and reinvigorate. KTM remains fully committed to delivering exceptional experiences to its current and future customers and will continue to thrill and find its way to the top of the podium again.

Racing is where KTM shows its brand, its engineering and its passion for the chase. KTM started the season with a staggering 341 FIM World Championship titles. The globe-trotting calendars involved more than 1,480 race starts and brought the company 246 podiums and 150 wins across various disciplines. Of course, there were hardships and injuries — these go with the turf — but KTM impressively added 11 more hard-fought titles to the record.

Off the racing line, the KTM brand has also been extremely active this year. The brand unveiled 59 new models, hosted three international media launches with 152 media partners in attendance, successfully pulled off three customer events with 283 participants and returned to EICMA with a massive 1,635-square-meter booth along with 17 new KTM products. 

There has been a strong push behind these new motorcycles, as well as efforts to ensure we maintain momentum in the right areas. KTM is applying the same forward-thinking approach during this restructuring phase. The company’s goal over the next 90 days is to stabilize the business while setting the foundation for sustained growth and success.

Throughout this period, KTM guarantees the continuation of motorcycles being delivered through its Authorized KTM Dealer network. The same goes for its spare parts, technical accessories, customer service support and warranties, which remain unchanged, ensuring ongoing and unwavering support throughout this period.

The work and the desire for the latest edgy, extreme and adventurous motorcycles goes on. KTM is preparing the launch of a brace of highly anticipated models, which will be in dealer showrooms in the first quarter of 2025. This again shows KTM’s pledge to remain as one of Europe’s leading motorcycle manufacturers well into the future.

“We are overwhelmed with the brand loyalty shown in 2024. It’s fun to see consumers, dealers and even distributors build bikes with our products on them. As the brand becomes a bigger global entity, I’m truly humbled,” said Brian Klock, Klock Werks founder and president. 

“2024 was a great year! We overcame challenges, expanded our campus, team and product line. We have an unwavering gratitude for the patrons of Klock Werks for continuing to believe in the products we provide. It’s their support that keeps fueling our passion to be innovative and deliver top-quality products. We want our customers to know we are listening and are on the gas; 2025 has great things in store,” said Vanessa Klock, Klock Werks chief financial officer and vice president.

For Klock Werks, 2024 saw the release of several widely popular products, including the Tint and Kolor Flare Windshields for Harley-Davidson 2023.5 and newer Street Glide and Road Glide. Upon their initial release, the Krew worked overtime to meet an overwhelming demand, keep up with orders and ensure the shelves were stocked following months of anticipation, customer sign-ups and meticulous engineering refinements. 

Along with the release of the Tint and Kolor Flare Windshields, owners of the new Harley-Davidson CVO Street and Road Glide models also celebrated the expanded Tire Hugger Front Fender series. Not stopping there, the Benchmark Rear Fenders were launched for 2001-2017 Softail models, followed by the much-anticipated debut of the Maybin Rider and Shifter Pegs, compatible with most Harley-Davidson models.

Indian Motorcycle owners saw a number of new releases as well. The Krew introduced the Outrider Handlebar Risers for 2015-2024 Scout models plus Tire Hugger Front Fenders for 2020-2024 Chief and Super Chief models.

The year also brought an exciting addition for BMW enthusiasts: the release of the Flare Windshield for 2021 and newer R 18 and R 18 Transcontinental models. Initially launched in a Dark Smoke 14.5-inch version, this windshield sold out almost instantly, prompting the release of a Tint version to meet demand. The Klock Werks Tire Hugger Front Fender line was also expanded to include 2020 and newer R 18 models. This release comes alongside several other Klock Werks BMW fitments, such as the Flare Windshield for 2021-2024 R 1250 RT models. 

The innovation at Klock Werks extends beyond motorcycle parts. The iOmounts Essentials Collection debuted in 2024, offering an all-in-one magnetic phone or tablet mounting kit for users to adapt to their home, on the road, in the office and at the gym. Catering to retail and professional spaces, Klock Werks also developed the iOstand XT, a sturdy, versatile stand for tablets and devices perfect for displays or on-stage use. 

The gears at Klock Werks never stop turning as the Krew continues to be inspired and create new parts and products for their growing followership. The new year brings new opportunities and new products for enthusiasts across the world to bring the custom bike of their dreams to life. “We’re excited to bring back a new and improved version of the Wedge Fairing, originally designed by my good friend Bill Blackmore. Our plan is to round out the entire family of windshields for 2024 and newer Road Glide and Street Glide models. Our focus will be on bringing dealers better retail solutions to offer our brand to their customers,” Brian commented. 

With 2024 being such a great success for the Klock Werks Krew, 2025 presents an exciting and promising horizon to continue on its established growth trajectory. From windshields to fenders and fairings, the Krew continues to expand the brand by producing high-quality on-trend aftermarket motorcycle parts for riders across the globe. Already locked and loaded with even more new and exciting product releases for 2025 and an ever-expanding fan base, Klock Werks has not only become a household name riders have come to know and trust but continues to be an influential American-made force in motorcycle culture.

A Celebration of Unity Through Motorcycling

Drawing a diverse group of motorcyclists for the first time in the U.S., “Split Chain” was more than just a ride; it was a testament to the thriving community of independent women who find liberation and camaraderie on two wheels — which happened to be a fleet of powerful Moto Guzzi machines including the V100 Mandello, V85 TT and V. This unique event brought together inspiring women riders from across the U.S. and France to celebrate their passion for good times, beautiful roads and unforgettable memories while blending cultures and native languages.

The five women who were part of the amazing Split Chain adventure were:

• Los Angeles, California: Ananda Cuitinho — @anandanineone
• Asheville, North Carolina: Nine Buitrago — @nina_burrito
• France: @lucielebrn, @evaaaspm, @clara_cto

A Route Built for Dreamers

With its iconic coastal views, rugged desert stretches and idyllic canyons, Southern California offered a dreamlike backdrop and aligned with Eudoxie’s rebellious and trailblazing ethos, inspired participants to push boundaries, embrace individuality and carve their own paths. The collaboration with Moto Guzzi, a brand synonymous with independence, touring, heritage and origins, made this celebration even more special, reinforcing the spirit of partnership that fuels the motorcycling world. Together, they created an experience that highlighted not only the ability to explore and enjoy life with motorcycles, but also the strength and diversity of those who ride them.

“Split Chain” is a reminder of the limitless adventures waiting just beyond the horizon and the extraordinary bond shared by women who dare to chase them. This event wasn’t just about the destination— it was about the journey, the people and the roaring engines that brought them together.

It’s Electric

“Exciting.”

That’s how succinctly Gyuricza describes the state of the powersports industry right now.

“We’re seeing a tremendous amount of new engineering, new componentry, all the way from motorcycles to side-by-sides,” he says. This technology encompasses everything from lean angle sensors, integrated anti-lock brake (ABS) systems and lane tracking on bikes to new shock geometries on side-by-sides. What excites him most about this technology is that it makes motorcycle riding safer.

Speaking of new technology, Gyuricza is also on board and actively promoting electric vehicle (EV) powersport models, even though he admits not everyone is as eager to adopt them as he is.

“What we’re seeing on the EV front is really a big game changer. And I personally can’t wait to see a broader approach, a broader acceptance of it, because I think that’s just going to accelerate where we’re going,” he explains. Electric vehicles create an entirely new riding experience — one with a ton of fun torque and a quieter ride. To that end, he believes the side-by-side customers will adopt EVs more quickly than motorcycle riders, since people are getting back into the wilderness and electric vehicles allow them to enjoy the peace of their surroundings without all the noise and smell that accompanies an internal combustion engine (ICE).

Of course, Gyuricza knows that EVs can be a hard sell in this market — to dealers and riders alike. Ultimately, he says, getting them to adopt electric vehicles will take a twofold approach: through manufacturer-driven agendas and, as always, by getting butts in seats. Gyuricza argues that it’s not difficult to convert even the most diehard ICE fans once you get them to try the products.

For instance, Gyuricza recalls when he had a Zero electric motorcycle the store was showing off and a Harley-Davidson rider came in: “He’s like, ‘I’ll never ride an electric motorcycle as long as I live. It’s an abomination.’ I mean, it was like, ‘This is the devil.’” However, Gyuricza made the rider a deal: He would give the man $100 if he took the Zero for a ride and did not have an amazing time. “He comes back in, takes off his helmet, and he’s got the biggest grin on his face. And he is like, ‘That was amazing,’” Gyuricza recalls with a matching grin.   

Rebel Yell

While Gyuricza thinks the manufacturing arm of the industry is going well, he believes the dealer side is still trying to figure out how to operate successfully (especially post-pandemic), noting that there’s still a lot of pressure in the industry to follow automotive lines.

Gyuricza spoke with a large automotive and powersports brand owner, who told him that, because his brand started as an automotive group, the company wanted the powersports dealerships to follow the automotive policies, and the company even sent trainers to the powersports dealerships to teach them to be more “automotive.”

“And he said, ‘It’s just not possible. It is a different breed. It is a different type of sales. It is a different customer, and it’s a different type of employee.’ And so, I do think there’s a lot of manufacturers still trying to say we’ve got to follow the automotive standard. And I think that a lot of that shows up in the showrooms. The expense and the energy is misplaced, in my opinion,” Gyuricza argues.

On the bright side, Gyuricza says the powersports industry is really putting effort into trying to find new riders. He specifically points out the Motorcycle Industry Council’s initiatives in that field, applauding the organization for hiring a new female CEO.

After all, one of the lowest-hanging fruits in the new-rider initiative is attracting more female riders. Gyuricza says, “I can tell you my opinion on how we can attract more of this under-represented rider segment: Put women in charge of determining the best ways to attract more women riders. I think right now, even though we’re making some valiant efforts, we need more female representation leading the marketing charge to attract these riders.  Right now, it’s mostly men driving the message; are we the right ones to be doing that? I don’t know that I’m qualified to determine what a female rider is looking for when deciding to start their rider journey. If we want to cultivate more women on motorcycles, we need to have them champion that effort. That needs to start with the manufacturers and flow all the way down to the dealership level.”

The Fun Remains the Same

All businesses today seem to struggle with recruitment, but in the powersports industry, it’s especially difficult to retain quality staff due to competition with automotive and RV sales, which offer higher pay for the same type of job. Maverick Motorsports seeks to overcome this gap by fostering a passionate, hobby-oriented work culture and recruiting employees from their customer base, as these individuals already align with the dealership’s lifestyle and values.

For instance, one of Gyuricza’s most successful salespeople started out as a customer who was working for a furniture company. That customer had gone out to repossess some furniture before stopping by the dealership, and Gyuricza was impressed by the kind of guts it would take to do that. But the customer didn’t feel comfortable with his job, so Gyuricza asked him how he would feel about selling motorcycles. The customer replied that it would be a dream job, so Gyuricza made him an offer, and two weeks later, he came to work for Maverick Motorsports. Eight years later, he’s still there.

Part of retaining staff means incentivizing them, and while employees appreciate the traditional offerings, such as competitive healthcare, it’s the unique benefits that can really make a company stand out. Today, the housing crisis affects millions of people, who struggle to be able to find and afford a home. Gyuricza knows this, and he also knows from experience that no matter how much money you make, you can spend every dollar of it. When Gyuricza noticed that many of his employees who made good salaries didn’t own homes, he decided to do something about it.

“We started making an incentive where we would help them buy their first home. As they work for us over a number of years, we have a little bank of funds that we set aside for them that can only be used for the purchase of a new house. I personally will sit down with them if they need it and show them how to structure a deal, how to buy a first house, how to talk to the bank. We’ve worked with some local community programs that will put them through a first-time buyer’s program,” Gyuricza explains.

Maverick Motorsports started the program three years ago, and in that time, he’s had at least five employees buy their first homes through the program. “I think that’s maybe the program I’m the most excited about. It’s one that I’m always excited when they use that money and it gets someone that leg-up chance,” he adds.

Good Times Bad Times

As noted, Gyuricza believes the state of the industry is “exciting,” and despite current challenges, such as flat sales and financing difficulties, he remains optimistic about the future of powersports. He knows that these challenging times are cyclical, and so he remains optimistic.

“I think the industry’s got some of its brightest and best days ahead of it, so it’s an exciting business to be in. It’s not one that we’re in to make crazy money, because I think any of us could go to another industry and easily make more. Again, it’s about passion, and I love that the manufacturers are sharing the passion for the development of the industry and the sport. I am a bit of an eternal optimist, but I believe we’re going to get past some of these financial hurdles and struggles. I think we all have been in a post-pandemic learning curve, and I think we’re going to get there.”

Maverick Motorsports exists because Gyuricza bought a dealership that sold him a motorcycle but not an experience. He felt it was missing the sense of camaraderie and community that makes the powersports industry so unique. It’s that innate sense of righting a wrong in the industry that has propelled him to take greater stands — even up to taking legal action against an OEM for unfair financial practices — that makes him a Vehicle Care RockStar.
