2025 KTM Adventure Rallye to head west

KTM Australia have released details on their Adventure Rallye for 2025. The ninth annual edition of this KTM-only event will be held in Western Australia from 12 to 17 October. Covering 1,700km over five days, the Rallye will feature winding forest trails, river crossings, single tracks and plenty more.

Open to any road-registered KTM adventure bike – from 390 to 1290R - in good condition and with a minimum fuel range of 250km, the 2025 Adventure Rallye will be challenging. As such, it is recommended for riders with at least two years’ off-road experience.

Two route options will be available daily: a ‘Main Route’ for those of intermediate skill level; with the more challenging ‘Breakout Route’ for experienced adventure riders. All routes are mapped by local co-ordinators and designed so riders can tackle them in their own time and own pace. Navigation is GPS-based, supplemented by briefings at the daily bivouac, route markers and a detailed route sheet that includes fuel stops, lunch spots and points of interest. 

Bunbury, 175km south of Perth, will be the hub for the 2025 Adventure Rallye, with the daily routes taking in Collie, Augusta and Manjimup. The Rallye is fully supported by KTM Australia, including luggage, technical, tyre and medical assistance, lead and sweep riders, plus 4WD backup. The entry price of $2,395/rider includes dinner each night, professional photography and video coverage, guest rider appearances and a KTM Rider Pack. Entrants will be responsible for their own breakfast and lunch each day, plus accommodation each night, but KTM can provide a list of suggested venues.

Along with their own road-registered KTM Adventure bike equipped with knobby tyres and ultra heavy-duty tubes, entrants need to have a valid motorcycle licence and insurance (third party as a minimum), GPS navigation capability and an InReach or SPOT tracking device. Medical insurance, including ambulance cover valid in WA, is also required.

Limited to 130 riders, the high demand for previous KTM Australia Adventure Rallyes means the 2025 edition is expected to sell out fast. Bookings open on 23 April, 2025.
