KTM announces latest NZ Adventure Rallye
The third annual KTM New Zealand Adventure Rallye will showcase the best of NZ's stunning Northland and Coromandel Peninsula…This year's KTM New Zealand Adventure Rallye will take participants on an epic journey through NZ's Northland, with the run set to commence in the Bay of Islands on November 30 and conclude on the Coromandel Peninsula on December 6.
Open to owners of a wide range of KTM models, the route will take in white, sandy beaches, incredible Kauri, gum and pine forests, and the famed black, hard sand of Ninety Mile Beach, before two nights in Tapia Beach and two days in the sublime Coromandel.
Organisers say the run was planned with KTM V-twin models in mind, but is suitable for all KTM adventure riders.
They also say this year's main route will be shorter and less technically challenging than previous years, while 'Breakout Route' options will offer serious off-road riding and the advent of '4 Chili' options will satisfy even the bravest of riders.
Another introduction for this year will see two lucky V-twin participants qualify to take part in the KTM Ultimate Race, along with other riders selected from the total of six KTM Adventure Rallyes held around the world. The lucky 12 will then compete against each other in a Dakar Series event at the Merzouga Rally 2019, in Morocco.
