This weekend, KTM will be on its Austrian soil to experience a national Grand Prix on a track which bears the name of its title investor. Suffice to say that there will be activity and that the only color that should prevail is orange. We are even waiting for an announcement from the Mattighofen firm: the return of Husqvarna to Moto3. Or even more…
Husqvarna has already participated in the Moto3 World Championship in 2014 and 2015. For 2020, a return of the brand which is in the fold of KTM is planned, with two pilots. News which should be announced this weekend, during the Austrian Grand Prix, according to Speedweek.
A decided return to boost sales of road models Svartpilen et Vitpilen 401 and 701. I want to become the second European motorcycle manufacturer with Husqvarna in the next three or four years » announced the boss Stefan pierer. " We were in Grand Prix with Husqvarna before. We still have to work on the Husqvarna range. At the same time, I never ruled out a return to road racing with Husqvarna. At Husqvarna we plan to expand the model range while integrating the brand into the GP platform ».
Hubert Trunkenpolz, KTM board member added. “ We need patience and a wider range of products. At KTM, it took us five years to get on the road. Husqvarna will take the same time ».
Stefan pierer finished : " I do not exclude Husqvarna in the Moto2 World Championship. For brand awareness, this would make perfect sense ". That being said, participation in the MotoGP World Championships is not currently envisaged with Husqvarna.
