ESKDALE: FREE KTM GROUP DEMO RIDES

29/05/2026 Transmoto

Paid-up entrants at the Transmoto 8-Hour at Eskdale will get the chance to throw a leg over the latest KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS machines – for free – thanks to the KTM Group crew. Here’s everything you need to know.

When was the last time you threw a leg over a brand-new dirt bike and actually put it through its paces? Or lined up a two-stroke and four-stroke back-to-back to feel the difference for yourself? If you’re heading to our only Victorian event of 2026 – the Transmoto 8-Hour at Eskdale – you’re going to get that chance. And it won’t cost you a cent!

Thanks to the KTM Group crew, paid-up entrants at Eskdale will have access to a fleet of the latest KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS machines on Saturday of the event weekend. Whether you’re actively bike-shopping, brand-curious, or just keen for a spin on something fresh, this is one of those rare opportunities to sample a genuine cross-section of three brands’ ranges back-to-back – on a dedicated test track, with zero pressure and zero cost.

The demo program runs from 9.30am to 3.30pm on Saturday, with 15-minute ride slots on an approximate 10-minute loop. There’s no pre-registration required this year – it runs strictly on a first-in, first-served basis. Just rock up to the demo program truck on-site and get your name down early.
