Rally Raid BLOG

We will be going down to North London this weekend for the one-day Adventure Show at the world famous Ace Cafe.
Last year’s event was great,even though it was freezing weather all day,we had a lot of interest,and will be showing one of our new White Adventure KTM 690 kits,and also our new project,which is the Triumph XC800.
We have done several Rally-Raid parts for the bike in the short time we have had it.Mainly,a detachable rear fuel cell(7 litres) with luggage rack,soft luggage panniers and a large aluminium rally engine guard.
Hope to see any UK customers there this weekend……

We now have stock of both the 1 gallon(3,8 litres) & 2 gallon (7,5 litres) Fuel or Water packs from Rotopax in the US.
These robust and durable moulded containers were chosen by us to work with our Soft Luggage Racks,as a quick and reliable way of adding more fuel capacity or extra water supplies.

Here is a link to the best bits from Dakar 2012,sent by KTM Team Desert Rose finisher Toby Younger,his first time on Dakar,and he finished in Lima,Peru after a gruelling 2 weeks.
Toby and Jago were with us in Morocco last October for some dune training and shakedown tests with their 450 KTM’s,prepped by Patsy Quick at Team Desert Rose in the UK.

These are designed to work with all soft luggage systens,and Rotopax fuel packs,and also serve to stiffen the rear end of the KTM 690 when loaded with luggage.

Our new Adventure Fairing Kit to fit with the Aqualine Safari tank is now available,and our custom-designed graphics really finish it off nicely.
Thank to Jim at Zero-Nine Graphics for turning round this new design very quickly.
