The first 10 Pentons, inspired by John Penton, were built by KTM in Austria and powered by 100cc Sachs engines shipped to Ohio in March 1968. Soon, Pentons became the bike to have among enduro riders and motocrossers, and, all told, some 25,000 were sold in the US until currency fluctuations and increasingly better Japanese competition spelled an end for the marque in 1977.
