KTM Motohall to offer MotoGP simulator testing and test rides this Easter

This Easter, the KTM Motohall is set to offer members of the public the chance to ride an RC16 MotoGP bike as part of a simulator experience. 

The MotoGP Pro Simulator is provided by sevensim, which is a company that specialises in developing simulators for practical training, data analysis and autonomous systems. 

The simulator, which has been developed together with former MotoGP rider Jonas Folger, will be available to ride from 26 March, for “around four weeks”, according to KTM.

Rides on the simulator can be booked in either 10 or 20-minute sessions. They can also be booked online or on site. 

For fans of Pedro Acosta, KTM says “a limited package including a 10-minute simulator ride, Red Bull KTM Replica Curved Cap and original signed autograph card” is available for €37 (£32), but only while stocks last.

KTM is also offering the Ride Orange Experience, where test rides will be available across various models, including the new 390 SMC R supermoto machine and the brand-new 990 RC R supersport bike. 

KTM says “the rental motorcycles can be rented for a day or longer at attractive conditions, accompanied by a visit to the KTM Museum. For those returning to work and those who decide at short notice, there is also the possibility to borrow protective clothing”.

In the UK, KTM has a new programme of its own, which is the Orange Test Ride Takeover roadshow, which begins in May and lasts until August. As part of the test ride tour, KTM will visit seven different locations across England, Wales and Scotland.
