KTM Australia has revealed it will take on the twisting turns, rugged mountains and spectacular coastlines of Tasmania for its 2019 edition of the Adventure Rallye, set to be hosted on 24-29 March.

The 2019 Rallye returns to the five-day format with a focus on offering riders a truly memorable week exploring the stunning Apple Isle. Tasmania is a mecca of the best adventure roads we’ve seen – whether they be tar or dirt – that are set to make the KTM riders heart race.

Open to KTM riders with the following eligible KTM bikes: 640, 690, 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 years of adventure riding up to seasoned adventure pros.

The 2019 KTM Rallye will incorporate many of the top ‘must see’ adventure icons – the ones every rider comes back raving about – Cradle Mountain, Macquarie Harbour at Strahan, Queenstown, Jacobs Ladder, Western Explorer, Fatman Ferry over Pieman River, The Hazards at Freycinet Peninsula and Bay of Fires just to name a few.

And aside from the well-known landmarks, the ride will explore the tucked away and surprise tracks that you’ve never heard of. The route has been set to offer a variety of options for riders, ensuring everyone can make their own adventure.

The main route will cater for riders who want a more relaxed day with less technically challenging tracks than we have seen in previous years, while the breakout options will have some serious riding, with the first ever four-chilli options for the truly brave.

The Rallye will kick off at the iconic Cradle Mountain, before heading down to Strahan, Hobart, Swansea and St Helens before finishing in Launceston, meaning riders have easy access back to the Ferry or the airport for transport home.

With diverse terrain, a truly unique atmosphere created by the camaraderie of exploring one of the most beautiful parts of Australia with like-minded adventurers, the 2019 KTM Australia Adventure Rallye is all about offering a great experience to KTM riders.
