It has not been long since KTM introduced its downsized 350cc model range in India to save taxes and offer aggressive pricing to customers. However, the latter seems to change soon as the brand is reported to hike the prices of all of the 350cc models from June 2026. Read all the details below.

KTM 350cc bikes to become expensive in June 2026
As per a latest report published online, the 350cc models of KTM will undergo their first price revision next month in India. This comes after the input costs and other manufacturing-related costs have consistently risen due to the weakened foreign exchange rates and rising fuel prices.
While we are yet to receive an official confirmation, it is obvious now as most manufacturers are considering revising their prices due to the rising input costs. While June is not a typical price correction month, it is necessary for brands to maintain the pre-fixed cost-benefit ratio on their offerings.
With that said, the whole point of downsizing to a 350cc engine now seems to be more understandable. It is because the brand will still be able to pull sales and maintain profit even after the costs are revised. However, the 399cc models would have become too expensive if the 350cc platform had not been introduced.
The online report also states that the CBU models will be unaffected by this price hike. The new prices will come into effect from June 1, 2026.
