Need help in planning my road trip.

12-23-2020, 02:59 PM

Hello everyone,

I am planning to do my long-awaited ride- Banglore-Kolkata (Barrackpore) on my KTM Duke 390 (2019).

Is it doable in 2 days?

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend doing it in 2.5 days instead of 2 days. I can give you some general advice about riding in Odisha and the roads.
Bramhapur to Bhubaneshwar - good roads, can maintain 90-100 kph.

Bhubaneshwar to Cuttack - you'll find some traffic but good roads, can ride at 80-85 kph for the most part.

Cuttack to Panikoili - good roads with occasional uneven/rough patches. Can maintain 80-90 kph mostly.

Panikoili to Balasore - mix of bad and decent roads with potholes and speedbreakers. My advice to ride cautiously in this stretch because sometimes speedbreakers aren't visible and some are big. Ride under 80-90 kph here and really keep an eye for potholes/speedbreakers.

Balasore onwards I'm not very familiar with but last I heard, roads were decent/good.
