KTM Ride Orange Moto Tour Eastern demo ride recap THE 2012 KTM RIDE ORANGE MOTO TOUR WRAPS UP! Over 600 Canadians test ride 2012 KTM MX and Off-road models
After five weeks, 10 stops in four provinces and $2,000 worth of bike fuel, the KTM Ride Orange Moto Tour comes to a close. Last weekend was the final round, with the tour spending two full days at the beautiful Deschambault track & trail facility in Quebec (2 hours north of Montreal). We welcomed over 120 demo riders to Deschambault and received great dealer support from Enduro KTM, JaPerformance and TY Moteurs. Going back 3 weeks … we started the Moto Tour in Agassiz, BC and worked our way east, with stops in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Over 600 riders took part across 10 events, and most got a chance to ride at least 6 new KTMs! Very impressive was how solid our 12 demo bikes held up after 11 hard days of riding. Most of them didn’t require anything more than grips, tires, filters, oil, and tubes. (A real testament to the KTM quality is shown in the 150 SX, which easily had the most hours but never stopped running strong.) During breaks in the Moto Tour, we took advantage of local events, like MMRS’ Muttco Mountain race in Eastern Ontario and Gregoire Motorsport’s Open House, to show off the Factory Racing KTM semi and allow folks to take a tour inside. They loved it! Producing the Moto Tour isn’t easy, and we owe a BIG thanks to all of our passionate KTM dealers for providing excellent staff and support at each event. At many rounds, our team also benefited in help from KTM ambassadors, factory racers and local mechanics who just wanted to be part of the experience. Thanks guys!
