KTM 450 Rally Replica 2026: Customer Race Bike from Mattighofen

According to the manufacturer, the KTM 450 Rally Replica 2026 is built on input from factory riders like Coma, Walkner, Price, Benavides, and most recently Sanders. The bike is directly derived from the Dakar 2024 winning factory machine. KTM continues to bet on the reliable 450cc SOHC single-cylinder with electronic fuel injection and a 6-speed gearbox. This setup is paired with a hydraulic clutch and a dual radiator system.

The centerpiece is integrated into a hand-welded frame. According to KTM, laser-cut and hydroformed steel components ensure high rigidity while maintaining cornering precision. The forged aluminum swingarm is designed to keep traction steady over challenging terrain.

Onboard is the WP XACT PRO 7548 closed cartridge fork featuring Cone Valve technology. It's secured via CNC-machined triple clamps with PHDS and a Scotts steering damper. At the rear, a fully adjustable WP XACT PRO 7750 shock absorber delivers traction and endurance. According to the manufacturer, the design prioritizes long-distance comfort without sacrificing performance. Three tanks with a total capacity of approximately 34.5 liters ensure range over long stages.

The fairing has been aerodynamically optimized to reduce drag at high speeds. The navigation cockpit is equipped with a carbon tower, integrated warning light system, and a mount for the digital roadbook. A powerful LED headlight module guarantees optimal visibility during night stages or early starts.
