If you ride a Husqvarna TE or a GasGas EC, there is a good chance the spare part you need carries a KTM part number — and costs exactly the same as it does for the orange bike. KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas all belong to the same manufacturer group and share engines, frames, suspension components and brake hardware across most model years. Knowing when parts interchange (and when they don't) saves you money, shortens your search, and keeps your bike on the trail instead of waiting for a "brand-specific" part that was never brand-specific at all.
One Platform, Three Brands
Since Husqvarna joined the group in 2014 and GasGas followed for the 2021 model year, the enduro and motocross ranges of all three brands have been built on shared platforms:
- Engines: the 250/300 2-stroke and the 250–500 4-stroke engines are fundamentally the same units across KTM EXC, Husqvarna TE/FE and GasGas EC models of the same generation. Pistons, gaskets, clutch components, crankshafts and bearings typically carry identical part numbers.
- Chassis: frames, swingarms, wheels, hubs and most bearings are shared within a generation, with brand-specific differences in subframes and bodywork.
- Suspension: all three brands use WP forks and shocks. Internals and service kits are shared for the same fork model (e.g. XPLOR or XACT), even when the settings differ.
A perfect everyday example: the frame protection bushing 54803092060 fits KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas models across more than two decades of production. One part number, three brands.
How KTM Group Part Numbers Work
OEM part numbers in the KTM group follow a consistent logic. Take 54803092060:
- The first three digits (548) identify the model family and engine platform the part was first introduced for. This is why a part introduced on a 2003 model can still fit a 2026 bike — the number stays with the design, not the model year.
- The middle digits identify the assembly group (frame, engine, brakes, and so on) and the specific component within it.
- The final digits identify the version or variant of that component.
The practical consequence: a part number is a fingerprint. If the parts diagram for your Husqvarna lists the same number as the KTM diagram, it is the same part from the same production line — regardless of which brand's logo is on the box.
The "A" Prefix
Newer part numbers sometimes start with a letter, for example A46001081044. These follow the same principle with an updated numbering scheme introduced on more recent platforms. Treat them exactly like classic numbers: match the number, not the brand.
Parts That Typically Interchange
Within the same generation and displacement, these components are usually identical across KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas:
- Engine internals — pistons, rings, gasket kits, crankshaft bearings, power valve components. See our KTM 300 EXC engine rebuild guide for how these fit together.
- Clutch components — the OEM 2T clutch kit for 250/300 models 2013–2026 is a single kit that covers all three brands.
- Brake rotors and pads — hubs and mounting patterns are shared, so a 260 mm floating front brake disc listed for KTM also fits the equivalent Husqvarna and GasGas models. Browse the full brakes collection.
- Wheel bearings, seals, spacers and axles — shared hubs mean shared hardware.
- Filters and service items — oil filters, air filters and drain plugs generally cross over within a generation.
- WP suspension internals — seal kits, bushings and cartridge parts for the same fork/shock model.
Parts That Usually Don't Interchange
Brand identity lives in a handful of areas — and this is where blind cross-ordering goes wrong:
- Bodywork and plastics — tanks, shrouds, fenders, side panels and airbox covers are styled per brand and rarely interchange.
- Subframes and airboxes — Husqvarna has used composite subframe/airbox designs that differ structurally from KTM's aluminium units.
- Exhausts — routing and silencer designs often differ between brands even on shared engines.
- Suspension settings — the hardware is WP across the board, but spring rates and valving differ by brand and model. Internals interchange; setups don't automatically.
Watch Out: Brembo vs Braktec Hydraulics
The most common cross-reference trap: many GasGas models (and some Husqvarna model years) use Braktec brake and clutch hydraulics, while KTM uses Brembo. Master cylinders, calipers, seal kits and even lever pistons differ between the two systems and do not interchange. Before ordering hydraulic parts, confirm which system is fitted to your specific bike — it can vary by model year within the same brand.
Supersessions: When a Part Number Changes
OEM part numbers get superseded: the factory improves a component, assigns it a new number, and the old number points to the new one. This is normal and works in your favour — the replacement is backward-compatible with your bike. If the number in your parts diagram is no longer available, the superseding part is the correct order. When in doubt, send us the original number and we will confirm the current replacement.
How to Verify Fitment Before You Order
Three reliable ways, in order of speed:
- Use our OEM Parts Finder — select your brand, model and year to browse the factory parts diagrams and see exactly which part number belongs on your bike.
- Check the official documentation — our owner manuals library for KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas covers service specs by model and year.
- Ask us on WhatsApp — if the part isn't listed in the shop, we can usually order any OEM part number for you.
Quick FAQ
Is a Husqvarna OEM part more expensive than the same KTM part?
No. If the part number is identical, it is the same part at the same price — only the packaging may differ.
Can I fit KTM plastics on a GasGas?
Generally no. Bodywork is brand-specific even when the frame underneath is shared. Check the parts diagram for your exact model.
My part number isn't found anywhere — what now?
It has most likely been superseded. Search the parts finder for your model's current diagram, or contact us with the old number and we will trace the replacement.
