KTM Doesn’t Pay Airfare: Enter the Dirt Bike Giveaway for a Free Trip!

Hey everyone, why not make a purchase? Please do consider it…

The
Erzbergrodeo
A hard-enduro dirt bike competition is among the experiences I aspire to have. Regardless of whether I\’m attending merely as an observer or planning to join as a competitor, I must visit Austria sometime soon to witness this event firsthand.

If you haven’t watched it before, I strongly recommend checking out YouTube for event highlight reels or racer POV footage from race day; these clips can be incredibly intense. Personally, I might wind up in the emergency room due to several potential concussions, but that wouldn’t deter me from attempting to complete the course at minimum.

And here’s your opportunity: Three fortunate KTM customers can snag VIP tickets for the event. However, there are two significant conditions you should be aware of.

In order to participate, you must purchase a new 2025 EXC dirt bike from April 16 to May 16, and you\’re responsible for covering your own travel expenses. This doesn’t seem like an attractive offer, KTM? Still, the brand remains noteworthy.
doesn\’t have a lot of money
these days…

The company states that from April 16th through May 16th, customers purchasing a new 2025 KTM EXC in designated locations can join a worldwide contest aiming to award an exclusive pass to witness the most challenging single-day Hard Enduro event globally. Three victors chosen by KTM will be granted two VIP Gold Passes each for attending the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo between May 29th and June 1st, as well as experiencing an unparalleled backstage adventure organized by the KTM Factory Racing team.

The participating nations encompass members of the European Union, along with the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland. It’s worth observing that the United States is absent from this list, making the lack of an airline ticket provision somewhat more palatable; however, this arrangement still entails additional expenses for consumers who have already invested considerable funds into purchasing one of KTM\’s models.

If you remain intrigued, or had intended to buy an EXC anyway, as one of the fortunate three winners, you will receive two VIP Gold Passes valid for just one day, a full-weekend admission ticket, accommodations during the event, a thrilling helicopter tour above the Iron Giant, along with a personalized Erzberg Tour led by a KTM professional.

Frankly, I understand that KTM might be short on funds, but this seems like an odd marketing move for a company with plenty of bicycles gathering dust for more than a year. Rather than investing in such initiatives, wouldn’t it make more sense to run a substantial discount? Not just a token reduction like \”$100 off,\” but a truly attractive offer. Of course, I’m not part of their high-level strategy team, so my opinion probably doesn’t count much.
