The Colombian motorcycle market is experiencing significant growth and shifting competitive dynamics. While the Venezuelan brand Bera Motorcycles has established a presence through local assembly to challenge the dominance of AKT and its NKD 125 model, premium brands are also expanding.

KTM has opened a new flagship showroom in Bogotá to house its portfolio alongside Husqvarna and GasGas. This expansion by importer Autocolombiana comes amid a surge in national sales; Colombia has become a top 10 global player in the industry. Sales reached 1,026,266 units between January and September 2026, a 28.26% increase over the previous year, with annual projections reaching 1,400,000 units.
