2026 KTM Europe Adventure Rally confirmed
KTM’s 2026 Europe Adventure Rally is heading to Italy with 250 participants expected.
KTM has revealed the dates and location for its 2026 Europe Adventure Rally, which will see 250 riders take part in the event.
Riders will get the opportunity to explore the landscape of Umbria, which is located in central Italy, over the course of three intense days in the saddle. The 2026 event is scheduled to take place from September 7-11, with all three daily loops circling Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in the country.
Riders will be split into groups and will find their way around the course via GPS. New for 2026 is the implementation of ‘Blue’, ‘Red’ and ‘Black’ routes, which will allow ‘Experts’ to “test their adventuring and enduro mettle while beginners can feel comfortable with their own trajectory”, says KTM.
The Blue route is around 95 per cent accessible by car and consists of many gravel roads. On the other hand, the Red route involves some single tracks, and more technical trails that are designed for more confident riders.
However, it is the Black course that will put riders through the toughest test, with a variety of tough enduro trails planned by KTM.
The 2026 event is open to all riders with an eligible adventure bike, which includes up to 30 different models.
Some of the bikes that can be used include the KTM 450 Rally, 690 Enduro R, 790 Adventure R Rally, 1290 Super Adventure T, and the 1390 Super Adventure S Evo. The full list of bikes eligible to be used can be found on the official KTM website.
Bookings for next year’s rally can be made from 20 January, with KTM expecting places to sell out fast.
