Posted in Bikes, People, Riding

Taking place earlier this summer in Bjelašnica, the 2019 European KTM ADVENTURE RALLY allowed 150 KTM riders from 24 different countries to live the experience of a lifetime riding through the Bosnian wilderness. Revisiting the four-day-event, KTM Blog shares the full 22-minute highlights from this big adventure in the mountains of Southeastern Europe.

Held in the unexplored trails of Bosnia, the 2019 European KTM ADVENTURE RALLY was a READY TO RACE community event that included breath-taking rides led by some of the world’s best offroad racers. Participants had the opportunity to test the latest KTM ADVENTURE range while also getting the first ever look at an exciting future KTM motorcycle. Some of them even tried their skills at the 2020 ULTIMATE RACE qualifiers…

After two successful editions on Italian territory, playing host in 2019 was Bosnia and Herzegovina; the small but breath-taking country provided a backdrop of beautiful mountains, deep canyons, high plains, ice cold mountain lakes and crystal-clear rivers for the 150 riders, some coming from as far as Australia or Colombia.

After the first official day of riding, the 150 orange bleeders were exclusively presented the KTM 790 ADVENTURE R RALLY during a brief presentation. International racer and KTM ADVENTURE ambassador, Chris Birch, took the covers off the limited edition 2020 model. Along with the chance to test the latest KTM ADVENTURE range and ride with racing legends and KTM Factory Racing riders, the event also hosted a qualification round for the upcoming ULTIMATE RACE.

Participation for the qualifiers is available for twin-cylinder KTM riders who take part in any of the six KTM ADVENTURE RALLIES held during 2019 and at the start of 2020. At each RALLY, special qualification events test the riders to show if they have the excellent machine control, navigational skill and competent mechanical ability required to line up on a rally-prepared KTM 790 ADVENTURE R in Morocco. Only the top two riders from each event are chosen and from Bosnia it was #41 Iker Iturregi from Spain and #120 Andrej Crnkovic from Slovenia who secured their places for the opportunity of a lifetime in the African dunes next year.
