The image ads carrying KTM's most-used hooks and offers.

Ranking basis: the source carries no per-creative spend, impressions or click data, so “top” means most representative of what KTM actually runs. Creatives are ordered by how many ad copies reused them where the platform reports that, then by how often the hook, offer or product they carry appears across the library, then by whether they are still live.
