KTM Australia Adventure Rallye: QLD RANGES - May 23-29, 2020

KTM Australia Adventure Rallye: SOUTH WEST WA - October 9-15, 2020

Both events are open to Orange Adventure Riders with the following eligible KTM adventure bikes: 390 Adventure, 640, 690, 790, 790R, 950, 990, 1050, 1090, 1090R, 1190, 1190R, 1290 and 1290R models. The Rallye is tailored to suit a wide range of rider abilities, from those in their first few years of adventure riding up to seasoned adventure pros.

For 2020, both Rallye’s will feature a 6-day format that will focus on offering riders a truly remarkable experience exploring either the South West and Wide Bay Burnett regions of Queensland or the Southern Forests region of Western Australia - both states which have yet to host a KTM Australia Adventure Rallye.

With assistance from local experts who are all Rallye riders themselves, the routes are set to showcase the stunning landscapes that our great diverse country has to offer - both on the East coast and the West coast!

Designed with the larger capacity KTM adventure range in mind, as well as the variety of rider abilities, the route offers plenty of options for riders to choose their own adventure and difficulty of ride.

The KTM Australia Adventure Rallye is about offering a great experience to our ORANGE adventure riders - and what better way to do that than with 6-days exploring either the East Coast or West Coast of Australia on your KTM adventure bike!

Choose your Rallye destination for 2020 and bring old friends or make new ones, in the spirit of adventure riding, the Rallye is about getting back to the basics and enjoying your KTM adventure bike with like-minded adventurers.

2019 KTM AUSTRALIA ADVENTURE RALLYE

EVENT INFORMATIONRALLYE DOSSIER

2020 KTM AUSTRALIA ADVENTURE RALLYEQLD RANGES »Kicking things off for 2020, the KTM Australia Adventure Rallye: QLD RANGES will start and finish at the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland town of Kenilworth, while exploring the South East QLD and Wide Bay Burnett regions of Queensland.

From Kenilworth the Rallye will head north through the classic hinterland rainforest that the region is renowned for, before hitting the coastal towns of Rainbow Beach and Agnes Waters. The route will then leave the coastal regions for cattle country and the iconic ranges - travelling south down the Great Dividing Range to overnights in Cania Gorge, Gayndah and Bunya Mountains before returning to Kenilworth.

With the help of local experts who are all Rallye riders themselves, in their words - “It’s time to show what Queensland has to offer!”

Riders will see big open cattle country which is expected from the second largest state in Australia, however it is the unexpected soaring cliffs and stunning views through the ranges, the hidden rivers and flowing valley tracks, and the quintessential seaside overnight stops mixed with classic country small towns that will surprise and truly highlight Queensland’s diversity.

Another highlight for the 2020 KTM Australia Adventure Rallye: QLD RANGES will be the introduction of Tent City for riders on several of the nights. Creating a true adventure vibe, Tent City will transform the Bivouac even more into a “Dakar” atmosphere! With a few more creature comforts than the real Dakar Bivouac, the “glamping” tents come complete with awning, carpet, 12V light, stretcher beds with linen and pillow and even a roll-up window!

The aim for the KTM Australia Adventure Rallye is to offer options for riders to choose their own adventure and difficulty of ride, therefore we offer two route options daily for riders: Main Route and Breakout Route. The Main Route will feature gravel roads and more open flowing tracks, while the Breakout Routes offer advanced riders more challenging terrain in the form of sand, rocks, tight and technical forest tracks and interesting hill climbs!

This opportunity offers adventure riders the chance to explore beautiful Queensland from the back of a KTM adventure bike - a truly unique experience. Therefore to assist riders from across the country wishing to attend, transport options will be provided in the Registered Rider Dossiers to all riders who register for the event.

2020 KTM AUSTRALIA ADVENTURE RALLYESOUTH WEST WA »And what better way to launch our first biannual KTM Australia Adventure Rallye than by going to extremes - from the East Coast to the West!

Set to explore the iconic South West of Australia’s largest state, the KTM Australia Adventure Rallye: SOUTH WEST WA will kick off in the historic town of York, one hour east of Perth before diving straight into the heart of WA’s prime adventure riding territory.

Overnight stops will include the charming country town of Collie before hitting the quaint seaside village of Augusta, the furthest southwest corner of Australia. The unique and stunning Karri Valley Resort will play host next, before two nights at the legendary motocross town of Manjimup. A final leg north to finish off in Bunbury caps off an outstanding six-days of adventure.

The Southwest of WA is synonymous with wine and riders will be treated to stunning views of rolling vineyards through the Margaret River region - then add in breathtaking coastal and forestry scenery. Expect to ride through towering Karri forests one minute before hammering along flowing sand tracks overlooking the stunning West Coast the next.

A unique highlight for the South West WA Rallye will be the inclusion of local delicacies during the group dinners. The South West is renowned for its culinary excellence - so in honour of the region, our nightly dinners will feature a theme each evening - seafood straight from the ocean in Augusta, a street party in the iconic motocross town of Manjimup and a BBQ Pig on the Spit from country town Collie.

The aim for the KTM Australia Adventure Rallye is to offer options for riders to choose their own adventure and difficulty of ride, therefore we offer two route options daily for riders: Main Route and Breakout Route.

NAVIGATION INFORMATION »The Rallye is tailored to suit a range of rider abilities, from those starting out in their first year or two of adventure riding, to seasoned Adventure pros. In order to cater for this variety of levels, each day’s course can be traversed in your own time, at your own pace, with two route options available daily - the Main Route and Breakout Routes.

Lead riders depart before the group each morning to ensure the tracks are clear, plus sweep riders bring up the tail end of the pack to assist with any issues that may arise throughout the day. A detailed route sheet for each day will be supplied at the nightly rider briefings, however for riders the main source of navigation comes in the form of GPS files, supplied prior to the Rallye. Therefore it is required that riders have a GPS unit to navigate for the event. Riders are free to depart each morning between 8.00-9.30am, in their own time and on their own agenda. There will be Points of Interest on each days route sheet, so riders can stop and enjoy these along the way, as well as suggested breakfast and lunch stops.

RALLYE SUPPORT » LUGGAGE SUPPORT. Every rider will be allowed to place one bag (roll-bag or pack) in the KTM Luggage Truck, which will be carried for them between each destination. TECH SUPPORT. We will have KTM Australia mechanics available to assist with any issues that may arise along the way that you cannot fix yourselves. This tech service will be limited to issues that arise as a result of the Rallye, not assistance with pre-existing issues. Therefore a pre-event Tech Check at your local KTM dealership will be necessary for all Registered Rallye Riders.

TYRE SUPPORT. We will have a Tyre Support available from the amazing Overlanders crew. For those who wish to get a new tyre or tyres fitted before the Rallye or during the Rallye. Pre-bookings are essential! GENUINE PARTS SUPPORT. All riders are advised to bring spare parts along, however due to unforeseen circumstances that may arise when adventure riding, we will have Genuine KTM Spare Parts available for riders to purchase throughout the Rallye.

MEDIC SUPPORT. With the assistance of the outstanding crew from RaceSafe Australia, medical support personal will be on hand to assist throughout the event. The medical support will be available each day through multiple channels: sweep rider, 4WD backup vehicle and nightly at the Bivouac. More information on all the provided support will be given to those who register for the events in the form of a REGISTERED RIDER DOSSIER.

Keeping the KTM Australia Adventure Rallye experience consistent for all riders, both events feature the same structure, format and support - just different dates and locations!

TRANSPORT OPTIONS »Getting to either Queensland or Western Australia is just another part of the adventure - and there are several options for riders when it comes to transporting themselves and their KTM’s to the Rallye’s. Full detailed information, as well as links to book transport options will be provided in the Registered Rider Dossier’s to all riders who register for the events!
