KTM MOTOHALL SWING OPEN THE DOORS ONCE MORE…WITH NEW TREATS INSIDE

Posted in Interactive

The recent lockdown has meant some quiet but busy days for the staff at the KTM Motohall. Work inside the stunning complex has not stopped so here are some key reasons to plan a visit and details of a fantastic competition for those that make it to Mattighofen before the end of June.

1. New racebikes, new bikes, new builds

Riders and customers tempted by a 2020 KTM can finally get back into authorized KTM dealers but for those wanting a look – and even a ‘grip’ – of the fanciful KTM 890 DUKE R and models such as the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S then a raft of bikes in the KTM Motohall has been updated. Some of the 2020 portfolio has been placed into the ‘sit-on’ holders; so while riders can only fantasize rather than experience the agility and ‘scratching’ potential of the KTM 890 DUKE R, visitors can still throw a leg over the motorcycle and let their imagination do the rest.

The top floor of the KTM Motohall contains the ‘Heroes’ section and where original machines and kit of 28 figures in KTM’s long racing history are on display. One new entrant graces the gentle sloping floor surrounded by a vivid wall-to-wall video-audio show: 2019 AMA 450 SX Supercross Champion, Cooper Webb, makes his debut ‘appearance’. Moved to the Racing Bike Section is Sam Sunderland’s FIM Cross Country World Championship conquering KTM 450 RALLY, parked a short distance from Jorge Prado’s double-FIM MX2 Motocross title grabbing KTM 250 SX-F and Manuel Lettenbichler’s KTM 300 EXC TPI WESS-winning saddle.

Proactivity with the layout and functionality of the KTM Motohall means an altered reception area (particularly for groups) and a bigger shop space. In fact, walking through the amplified zone with the full racks of KTM PowerWear it will be impossible to ignore the new KTM Retro Collection with vintage designs and throwbacks to the company’s history splashed on items from magnets, postcards to t-shirts: a very cool spin on the usual product and racing-related fare. Threading through the store leads to the subterranean live workshop and a tasty addition: Brad Binder’s factory Moto2™ RC12. Chris Fillmore’s KTM 790 DUKE – that claimed honors in the famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb – is also present.

2. Family fun with the ‘new normal’

Society is dealing with the 2020 parameters involving social distancing but with an attractive and airy setting inside the KTM Motohall the interaction and enjoyment has not been diluted. KTM have assumed steps to ensure maximum safety and hygiene and – as always – the priority is for the entire family to take something away from their trip. Motorcyclists, history and racing fans and ‘tech-heads’ have a mine of detail to wade through along the corridors but the kids can, push, pull, listen, guess and buzz around the building thanks to KTM pedal-less cycles. They can also bang the stamps in their KTM Rookie Booklet (a souvenir pamphlet that junior KTM Motohallers can have fun tracing the stops, learn some fun facts and then take home).

3. Food for thought…and the stomach!

KTM have rearranged and squeezed more attractions into the KTM Motohall to make the journey around the modern architecture even more of a feast for the eyes. Fans of the brand will notice the renovation of Offroad and Street models from 2019 to 2020, making sure the latest technology is fully up-to-date, and the explanations behind the fabrication, prototypes, manufacturing standards and brand-new innovations tell the stories behind the bikes.

Once outside, the very short walk to the Garage restaurant reveals further novelties. The KTM-themed restaurant has renewed (and continues to refresh) their standard and daily lunch menus and now have brunch on Sundays and ‘after-work’ specials.

4. Win Big and Go Orange!

There is a special incentive to discover or rediscover the KTM Motohall before the end of June. Every valid entry ticket will slide into a box for a mega prize draw! The first ticket pulled out at random will win a KTM SX-E 5. This ideal first step into both motorcycling and e-mobility for kids between the ages of 3-10 (the bike is designed in order to grow with the child) is worth almost 5000 euros. The second ticket will earn a KTM ORANGE E-EXPERIENCE voucher applicable for three people. This entails a two-hour session at the KTM E-Cross Centre in Munderfing (for over-18s), lunch at the Garage restaurant and re-entry to the KTM Motohall. Third prize is a KTM Motohall Retro Package.

In fact, KTM are excited to have the KTM Motohall active again so will be giving each ticket-holder a 2020 KTM Fan Package that includes a t-shirt, cap, keyring lanyard, and drawstring gym-bag completely free while stocks last. Watch the calendar and get to the KTM Motohall before July to stand a chance!

The KTM Motohall is open from:
– 9 am – 6 pm
– Wednesday – Sunday
