“We are proud to have such a strong working relationship with each of our sponsors,” reported Scot Harden, KTM North America Tour Director on the 2008 sponsor line-up. The 2008 sponsor list consists of sponsors that have been with the tour since its introduction in the U.S, with the exception of the latest addition of Braking and Sunstar.

Harden, a multi-time Baja 1000, Rally champion and Dakar veteran directs the KTM North American Tour operation. “In the past two years we have established a great series of tours backed by an outstanding group of sponsors,” stated Harden, whose extensive off-road knowledge ensures that the tours are as authentic and pure as all existing KTM Tours throughout the world. He continued, “We’re very fortunate to have so many industry icons riding along with us. Their support and that of our sponsors, is what makes KTM Adventure Tours so successful.”

The 2008 KTM North American Adventure Tour season features tours in the Mojave National Preserve, Mammoth High Sierras, Italy Enduro riding tours, special event tours connected to select Supercross and EnduroCross events, and the popular Mike Lafferty Enduro School.
