The inclusion of all-wheel drive functionality has long been sought-after in off-road motorbikes thanks to the increased control and motoring precision that they offer, which is precisely why German mechanical engineer Guido Koch added an all-wheel-drive kit to the KTM 990 Adventure, giving rise to the Projekt DT-A motorbike.
This rip-roaring adventure motorbike makes use of a uniquely engineered frame as well as a front-heavy transmission mechanism that ensures for brash and high-adrenaline riding that isn't for the faint-hearted.
Another significant advantage of the Projekt DT-A motorbike is the fact that it weighs as much as 40 kilograms less than the bike it was modeled on. With its low weight, aerodynamic profile and high-octane transmission system, this motorbike exemplifies off-road automotive engineering at its best.
