KTM's Adventure Rider Rally is turning 21, and it's time to celebrate! This year's event, taking place from September 17-19, 2026, at the Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, promises an exhilarating experience for motorcycle enthusiasts. With only 200 spots available, it's a rare opportunity to join the KTM community for a self-guided adventure. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know to join the fun.
A Self-Guided Adventure
KTM provides GPS tracks, but the real thrill lies in navigating the routes yourself. Participants must bring a GPS device to make the most of the tracks. Additionally, a Motorized Vehicle Use Permit is essential for accessing the trails in Idaho. This permit ensures you're adhering to local regulations and enjoying the ride responsibly.
KTM or Not KTM?
The rally is inclusive, welcoming riders with or without KTM motorcycles. As long as your bike is street-legal, you're eligible to sign up. For those who prefer not to bring their own ride, KTM has partnered with Colorado Motorcycle Adventures to offer bike rental packages, making it convenient for all.
Event Details and Fees
Registration for the 2026 KTM Adventure Riders Rally is $600, with an additional $18.23 processing fee. Non-participants can join the fun with a meal-only package for $250, including a $7.78 processing fee. These fees cover the event itself, but keep in mind that lodging, permits, and other expenses may apply separately.
Beyond the US: KTM Adventure Rallye in New Zealand
For those seeking an international adventure, KTM has another exciting event in store. The 2026 KTM New Zealand Adventure Rallye will take place from December 7-12, 2026, with a smaller capacity of 120 riders. Originally scheduled for March 2026, the event was postponed due to weather conditions.
This New Zealand rally offers a comprehensive experience with guides, luggage support, tech assistance, GPS tracks, and more. The cost is $2,195 NZD, which converts to approximately $1,263.77 USD. Participants will have access to a range of amenities, ensuring a memorable journey.
