KTM, the world’s No. 1 premium motorcycle brand, recently took its racing DNA to the next generation of riders through the KTM Academy of Safe Riding – powered by the all-new KTM 160 Duke, India’s most powerful 160cc motorcycle.
The initiative has currently covered over 20 colleges across India, where students got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sharpen their riding skills on the new Duke 160 while learning the fundamentals of safe riding in a controlled, expert-led environment.
