What is ‘rally without the race’?
- A format of participating in rally-style events without racing using a adventure bike.
- Aimed more at small capacity adventure bikes due to the nature of the routes.
- This format of riding is affordable, available and opens the typical rally experience to the rider coming from adventure riding.
- It’s for someone that has progressed through various types of adventure bike riding experiences and now find themselves wanting more from their bikes and riding events.
- Especially if you have riding experience and the bike to match. Time to put that KTM890 and your navigation experience to the test.
- For riders that want to experience rally stage events, but not necessarily racing or professional event participation.
Why focus on navigation & rally?
- There is possibly to much focus on skill, speed or just socialising in current adventure riding.
- You most probably have an interest in events such as Dakar, but your closest experience is taking your adventure bike out on a weekend, or riding a GPS route on an annual social event.
- The key to unlocking a more adventurous riding experience is adding in proper navigation.
