KTM GPS tracker: GeoRide protects your Duke, Adventure or EXC

Duke, Adventure or EXC: GeoRide has a KTM GPS tracker for each of them, including enduro bikes without a big battery, thanks to the GeoRide 3s. At the first suspicious movement, your phone warns you, and the bike's position appears in real time if it leaves. Fitted in 5 minutes, and in France, Theft assistance is included to help you get it back with the police.

KTM GPS tracker: what GeoRide does for your motorcycle

It watches over your KTM with the engine off, and it tells you straight away. A knock, a movement without a knock, leaving the safe zone you have set, a power cable cut: the alert goes out by notification, email, phone call, or an iOS critical alert that rings even in Do Not Disturb mode.

If the bike moves, you see it move on the map, with up to 10 positions per second when cornering, where a conventional tracker sends one every 5 minutes. And if a thief finds the device and rips out the wires, you are warned, and the built-in battery keeps transmitting for hundreds of kilometres.

Most of the time, the story ends there. According to GeoRide's 2026 Motorcycle Theft Observatory, in 51.7% of attempts the alert was enough and the bike was not moved. If it leaves anyway, never play the hero: the app gives you the live position to pass on to the police, and in France, Theft assistance is available 24/7, calls you back within 5 minutes and shares the position with the police.

Why does a KTM deserve a GPS tracker?

Because a KTM is something people want, and something that resells. The Austrian brand won the motorcycle category of the Dakar 18 times in a row, from Fabrizio Meoni in 2001 to Toby Price in 2019, a Guinness record for a manufacturer. On the road, its naked bikes have nicknames that speak for themselves: the 1290 Super Duke R is "The Beast", the 790 Duke "The Scalpel", and the 890 Duke R "Super Scalpel". Enthusiasts snap these motorcycles up, whole or in parts.

The theft scenario, meanwhile, almost never involves the starter. According to a French motorcycle insurer, 90 to 95% of thefts in France are done by lifting: the bike is lifted, loaded into a van and hidden away. Without a tracker, only 24.3% of stolen two-wheelers are recovered in France according to the Argos Barometer 2025, and after 48 hours, according to French police data, the chances of recovery are divided by ten.

With a GeoRide, the position is known from the very first minute, and that is exactly what counts. A mechanical lock remains a good complement to slow down the lifting; we cover this pairing in GPS tracker or mechanical lock: which to choose for your motorcycle.

Duke, Adventure or EXC: which GeoRide for which KTM?

It all depends on the battery and where the bike sleeps. On a Duke or an Adventure parked in the street or in a garage, the GeoRide mini does the essentials very well: alerts, real-time location, automatic ride recording, fall detection. If the bike sleeps in an underground car park, the GeoRide 3s adds radar detection even underground, which guides you to it even with no network.

For an EXC, an SX or a motocross bike with no battery or a very small one, the answer is the GeoRide 3s. It accepts 9 to 18 V, works with or without a battery and recharges via USB (cable sold separately). Its off-road mode stops the ordinary falls of enduro riding from triggering an emergency alert: only a genuinely serious situation does. We go into more detail in our article on the GPS tracker for motocross bikes, and the same logic applies to the sister brand, see our page motorcycle GPS tracker for Husqvarna.

The subscription has no commitment and the first month is free. The app is included with free lifetime updates, and the device has a 2-year warranty.

How do you install GeoRide on a KTM?

Under the seat or near the battery, in 5 minutes. Red wire to positive, black wire to negative, and that is it: the device does not touch the bike's wiring loom or ECUs, and has no impact on the manufacturer's warranty. No need to visit the dealer.

Power consumption is minimal, with a smart standby mode when parked: your KTM starts every time, even after a long winter layup. And the day you change motorcycles, the device goes back on in 5 minutes, with your account and rides kept.

What your KTM already does, and what GeoRide adds

KTM offers an alarm in its PowerParts catalogue for the Duke, Super Duke and Adventure depending on the kit: dual-circuit immobiliser, motion sensor, two remote controls and Thatcham approval, for about €349 plus a fitting kit. It protects well on the spot, but it relies on someone hearing it: it does not ring on your phone and does not tell you where the bike is going. GeoRide adds exactly that, and the two complement each other very well. If your big KTM has a hands-free key, get into a simple habit: keep the key well away from the bike and the front door. To learn everything about smartphone alerts, our page motorcycle alarm on your smartphone for KTM goes into detail.

What GeoRide brings here, beyond theft

A GPS tracker on a KTM is also the logbook of your rides. Every ride is recorded automatically: route, distance, weather, elevation, 3D ride replay. With the GeoRide 3s, the lean angle is measured every second, so you can review the exact line of each corner after a day of mountain passes on an 890 Adventure. The multi-carrier network covers more than 200 countries, and if you crash while riding, fall detection alerts your contacts automatically; emergency dispatch is available in France.

"The aim with GeoRide is to act in an emergency, but to be at ease the rest of the time."
Thomas, founder of GeoRide
