Not sure, they are KTM tools though.
I just googled KTM tire irons in images, they came up, I copied the link
Oh, and I think I have seen them at the Cat Shack before too.
Something like $80 though.. The princess auto ones would be cheaper.. ha

Made a set of my own like that then found out Motion-Pro makes them, also got a crescent(adjustable) wrench in my tool kit in the garage from a who knows what year Volvo that has a spoon end on it obviously for doing something with tires. Not a fan of crescent wrenches but I tell ya this Volvo one is the only one I'll use. I actually used it last weekend to fix some plumbing issues in the humble abode. And I bet the wrench is older than most guys on this forum. I know it's older than me and I'm pushing 50.

Those are sweet, but they look like they are aluminum, maybe not but I think on a 606 they would fold like origami. And why is everyone pinching tubes? I don't get it. (scratches head)

I've got some of those, they are so light you'd think they would float if you dropped them in water, yet you could literally put all your weight on one and it won't bend. A buddy used one of mine out on the trail to loosen his axle and needed to stand on it with his foot to break it loose. Held up fine. Those things are great. I got mine from here:
