Details of the Ride:
KTM Mega Madalas offers 2 full days of riding – Friday, 23 October and Saturday, 24 October 2026.
As always, we will offer our three route options:
Green (Easy) Loop – Marked Route (NO GPS Needed) – Approximately 3–5 km.
Perfect for younger riders and families wanting to enjoy a relaxed ride. The route is marked, but we recommend an adult completes a sighting lap with younger riders before they head out on their own.
Blue Main Loop – GPS Route – Approximately 25–30 km.
A flowing route featuring scenic tracks, river crossings, rolling hills, and spectacular views. This is our standard Madalas route and is best suited to riders with some off-road experience.
Red (Extreme) Loop – GPS Route – Approximately 25–30 km.
A challenging route designed for experienced riders looking for a more technical and demanding adventure.
