From beginner to experienced - three separate areas to ride a new KTM at the NEC

For those looking to swing a leg over a new KTM, there are plenty of opportunities when Motorcycle Live opens at Birmingham’s NEC from November 19-27.


The ‘Experience Adventure’ zone will provide a chance to sample some of KTM’s proven travel enduro bikes on a
skills course designed to introduce riders to their first taste of adventure riding. This new for 2017 attraction will include tuition on bike set-up, body positioning and balance across a number of testing terrains.


Available to ride in the Experience Adventure zone from KTM will be the 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE T, which receives subtle tweaks next year in order to keep its place at the top of the luxury travel enduro class. Alongside this will be the 1050 ADVENTURE, which increases power massively from 95 to 125hp for 2017 to become the 1090 ADVENTURE - the purest daily adventurer.

 

The ‘Test Ride Zone’, situated at the rear of Hall 3A, is an opportunity to get behind the bars of the existing 390 DUKE, 690 DUKE, 1190 ADVENTURE, 1290 SUPER DUKE R and 1290 SUPER DUKE GT. On each of the show’s nine days, chaperoned ride outs will take place regularly from the exhibition centre on a mixture of road types. Test rides are free and can only be booked when arriving at the show. There’s also no need to worry about bringing riding kit as this is also available to use at no charge.

 

For those who are looking to take their first rotations on two-wheels with KTM, ‘Get On’ will be offering free 20-minute motorcycle lessons every day during the show with a professional instructor to anyone aged over 14. These test ride sessions also provide protective clothing and can be booked beforehand via www.geton.co.uk. The hardest part will be choosing between the RC 125 or 125 DUKE

If you don’t want to ride, the entire 2017 KTM Street range will be on display in the UK for the first time in Hall 4, stand 4D20. Showgoers will be able to get some static seat time on the incredible new 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S, 1090 ADVENTURE R, 1290 SUPER DUKE R and 390 DUKE, among others. There will also be highlights from the world-beating 2017 KTM Offroad range and a dedicated shop, retailing the eclectic official KTM PowerWear collection.
