The 2021 edition of KTM’s World Adventure Week (WAW) is over – and boy, what a turnout.

From the Carpenters Austral in Chile to the Ukrainian Carpathians, from the prairies of Canada to some of Europe’s biggest hotspots, riders from every walk of life hit the roads for seven days straight, making memories, sharing stories, and playing an integral part in the motorcycle community.

This year marks the very first edition of the World Adventure Week, powered both by KTM and RISER – an app that allows you to track your progress when out taking the turns on some country twisties.

With the World Adventure Week now come to a very successful end, it’s time to play out the stats.
