KTM Pro-XP hosts the KTM CUP with the aim of providing KTM owners with the cutting-edge experiences necessary to become professional riders. The South Zone qualifiers were held at the Kari Motor Speedway, Coimbatore, over a period of two days.
Participants got to experience ultimate action, embodying the ‘Ready to Race’ philosophy of the brand riding on company-provided KTM RC 390 motorcycles. Race director for the KTM CUP Season 2 is former MotoGP racer Jeremy McWilliams, who has two podiums in the 500cc class and a win in the 250cc class. Emmanuel Jebaraj, the creator of Gusto Racing, India and a seven-time National INMRC Champion, serves as the competition's race expert.
The South Zone qualifier of the KTM CUP Season 2 saw exceptional riders face fierce qualifying competition across the Pro, Amature, and Women's categories. Around 214 racers, including more than 20 women racers from 25 different cities across the South Zone, participated in the action at Coimbatore.
