The majority of the emails we receive about crashes and feedback on our crash bars is off-road related. Once in a while though, some pretty nasty ones happen on asphalt roads. Ouch. Blaming the tires, wind or other elements doesn't help. Maybe mentally. Certainly won't fix your motorcycle. The best [...]
It's certainly not everyday that we get such email from our customers. Yes, we get a LOT of awesome, positive feedback but this is beyond! Ok, so what is "it"!? With the recent introduction of our Honda Africa Twin upper crash bars, our sales have experienced a new "high". Sure, [...]

There are dozens of motorcycle magazines out there. Some stay on the "safe path" and follow the good old structure displaying news, bike specs, race results and bike reviews. Not this one.

Protecting your adventure/dual-sport motorcycle is a similar concept to wearing helmets. We must wear them for our own safety but it's also cool to wear something that looks awesome and does not weigh a ton. The very same concept is true about crash bars. In KTM's 1090/1190R Adventure case, it's [...]
This is like a dream come true: finally we get to work on a KTM adventure model! People who ride dual sport or adventures bikes know well that KTM's success derives from dominating hardcore and enduring races such as the Dakar Rally, Red Bull Romaniacs, Erzberg Rodeo and the list goes [...]
And what better way to kick-start the morning! Social media is not that bad after all. Flipping through the Outback Motortek Instagram account (@outbackmotortek) 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning and my eyes are still halfway open (or so I think) but I notice something and my brain begins to fully [...]
