KTM wanted to show their customers what their KTM ADVENTURE motorcycles are capable of off the beaten track. They wanted to create a scene of like-minded riders, sparking friendships and spectacular memories. And they wanted to ride roads that they wouldn’t imagine existed in Europe. Not an easy feat, but – judging from the big, dusty grins on people’s faces – they are very proud to say that the first European KTM ADVENTURE RALLY delivered.

Featuring three daily tours across three different terrains, ranging from 100% paved road to 100% offroad and one 50/50 option, riders were met with challenges that suited their riding style and preferences; climbing mountains, roaring down passes and even conquering snow. Every night, 152 adventurers descended to the Bardonecchia base camp to exchange their stories, share their adventures and reminisce with fellow KTM riders and their blazing fast ambassador, Chris Birch.

Chris Birch: “It’s impressive how the R performs a balancing act between being a never-ending offroad travel bike and a powerful enduro that knows no limits. To take it on a KTM ADVENTURE RALLY reminds me why I started riding bikes. For fun.”

At KTM, they are fascinated by the extraordinary, driven by relentless curiosity and always up for a two-wheeled adventure. They will continue to search for exciting locations to host the pinnacle of adventure travel. Keep an eye on ktm-adventure-rally.com, while they keep looking for new horizons. Which brings them to the good news: next year, there will be another European event. They don’t know exactly where. They don’t know exactly when. But it will be epic.
