The roar of engines and the fluttering of the tricolour resonated across 120 towns in India as KTM orchestrated a thrilling celebration for India’s 77 years of Independence. The KTM Pro-XP Urban Escape Independence Day ride witnessed the convergence of over 3000+ KTM riders, painting the streets with a vibrant tapestry of orange and patriotism.
From the bustling lanes of Mumbai to the tech-savvy bylanes of Bangalore, the spirited roads of Delhi to the historic charms of Hyderabad, the KTM Pro-XP Urban Escape Independence Day ride had riders across the country on their motorcycles, embodying the spirit of freedom and adventure. With more than 150 riders in each city, the event was a testament to the massive KTM community that has sprung to life in every nook and corner of the nation.
The ride was not just a journey on wheels; it was a journey of the heart. As the rider groups reached their destinations, the unfurling of the Indian flag became a stirring symbol of unity and pride. The honour of lead riders was a recognition of their role in steering the riders’ collective spirit through the streets of their city.
As the engines roared to life and the orange wave took over the streets, KTM proved yet again that it’s not just about the bikes; it’s about the journey, the bond, and the shared love for exploration.
Sumeet Narang, President (Probiking) at Bajaj Auto Ltd., said: “I’m thrilled to witness the participation of over 3000+ riders, a testament to the remarkable strength of KTM Pro-XP. The KTM Pro-XP platform is designed to help our owners discover their true biking potential. It’s also a great chance to connect with fellow KTM riders who share similar interests, fostering a vibrant community of mutual learning. Usually, every 3rd Sunday of the month, our dealers organise “Urban Escapes” – short day rides to interesting destinations. This 15th August, in commemoration of India’s 77 years of Independence, we embarked on a united journey, and we look forward to similar, rewarding rides in the future.”
