Nearly 35 years after its debut, KTM’s Ride initiative is already in full flow with countless tours, training schemes and demo rides available.

KTM Ride is back and already in full flow, with a long list of tours, training initiatives, track-based events, and test ride opportunities available.

What started purely as an adventure-based programme has grown over the last three decades to become an event aimed at getting more people riding bikes through a wider range of experiences.

Of course, adventure tours remain a staple of the Ride programme, and various events are going on worldwide that the public can still book.

Over the next three months, there will be a plethora of enduro-focused tours, in particular, including events in South Africa that will be led by none other than nine-time Roof of Africa winner, Erzbergrodeo winner, and second-place finisher at the Dakar Rally, Alfie Cox. 

If you don’t fancy travelling quite as far, there are also a variety of tours available to book across Europe, including tours in Romania, Croatia, Italy, and more.

Bookings can be made on the official KTM website, which is where you can also find out more information about the company’s different training-specific events. There are three training events left to book, with KTM offering a blend of basic street training, street and advanced, and advanced-only.

For those looking to get yourselves out on track, KTM’s new 990 RC R Cup is where that can be achieved, however, the final three rounds of the season are fully sold out, as it stands. KTM says additional spots “may become available”, although there are no assurances that this will be the case.

Finally, KTM is also offering customers the chance to test ride one of its motorcycles when visiting the Motohall museum. For people who choose to visit the hall, KTM has included a package that features entry to the Motohall, a route suggestion for your ride, four hours on any KTM rental bike, a 15 per cent discount in the KTM Motohall Shop, and free parking in the KTM Motohall garage.
