ON TOP OF THE PODIUM OUT OF ITS CRATE: THE KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA IS A PURE
READY TO RACE MACHINE
Back for 2023 with all the elements that make it a race-winning machine, the
KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is created to satisfy Rally riders with an intense thirst
for success. Limited in number, with special READY TO RACE components and a
pedigree that will prompt envy in any bivouac, the latest version of the KTM 450
RALLY REPLICA is the serious choice for the serious rally racer.
The KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA comes from the lessons and development achieved
through dominance of the Dakar Rally this century, as well as a number of
victories and titles in the FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship. This
is unfiltered and refined technology engineered to abuse stopwatches. It will
endure even the harshest requests from the most skilled and grizzled rally
campaigner.
The KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is ready to cater for the racing demands of
privateers, upcoming or more experienced racers alike. To prove the point, we
asked KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA riders Mason Klein, Bradley Cox and Benjamin Melot
to share their feedback here.
The bike’s superiority comes from a series of state-of-the-art components
that accentuate its racing spirit. Chief among those is the advanced WP XACT PRO
suspension that provides the ideal mix between acute feel, traction and
consistent performance. Weight is minimal and the surge from the 450 cc SOHC
single-cylinder engine is refined by the compact Akrapovič exhaust system that
also assists the centralization of mass.
The engine makes use of a cutting-edge Keihin management and the ECU maps
have been adapted and optimized allowing ideal power delivery. A Pankl
transmission is of the same spec as the one used by Red Bull KTM Factory Racing,
and the use of a compact chrome-moly steel frame also comes straight from the
race team’s spec.
Ergonomics are sculpted for competition, giving the rider the closest
connection possible to both the bike and terrain while putting ability and
stability to the fore. Every aspect of the 2023 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has been
through the rally and racing wringer. There is simply no better guarantee of
making the finish fast.
