KTM is giving hardcore off-road racers something to get excited about with their new 450 Rally Replica. Limited to just 100 units worldwide, this no-expenses-spared machine looks primed to dominate rallies like the Dakar for years to come.
At the heart of the beast is KTM’s proven 450cc single, which now gets race-level upgrades like a reinforced clutch and stronger gearbox. While they’re keeping power numbers on the down-low, you can bet it rips. Extensive cooling from dual radiators means it’s built for punishing rallies in intense conditions.
Helping the engine unleash chaos is a hand-built trellis frame from KTM’s racing department. This lightweight steel skeleton is joined to an equally sweet-looking swingarm and fueled by a huge 34.5-liter tank. Talk about range!
Aggressive new bodywork and a carbon nav tower promise optimized aeros and wind protection during long days in the saddle. Suspension is fully-adjustable works WP components for gobbling up any terrain.
Small touches like a upgraded headlight, integrated tool cubby and beefy steering damper show the attention to pro-level detail. Price is application-only, but can you really put a price on Ultimate Dakar Glory?
Limited to just 100 worldwide, KTM is gifting serious off-road racers with the keys to rally domination. This 450 Replica is full factory serious and promises to write new chapters in off-road racing history for lucky owners. Sign me up!
