2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA

  • Choose Colour
We can say it; the KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is the most successful machine ever to line up at the Dakar Rally. Not only has it graced the top step at the hands of seasoned pros, but its victories in the hands of privateers are equally impressive. With 10 out of 19 Dakar wins for KTM, and 235 Stage victories, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA remains the closest bike to a factory racer available off a dealership floor.

01. READY THE ROADBOOK

Adjustability

At this level, pin-point accuracy in your setup is essential to gaining an edge on the competition. Good thing then, that the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has that covered, with fully adjustable WP Pro Components suspension which can be fine-tuned to the likes and weights of riders and all kinds of varying terrains, as well as adjustable handlebars.

Digital Roadbook

Already compulsory at many races for the Car, SSV, and Truck categories, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has provisions to allow for the fitment of a digital roadbook. Not only has this new addition undergone many racing kilometers of hard testing, but it is also more accurate, more user-friendly, and brings more functionality to the racing stage. Prefer the old ways? The conventional paper roadbook system still comes in the buy-pack.

All White Plastics

READY TO RACE bikes need racing stickers. While a simple sticker graphic kit for the all-white bodywork comes in the by-pack of the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA, the plastics are left untouched for you to design your kit, with your team, sponsor, and individual needs.

Engine

The powerplant responsible for 10 Dakar victories is based on the hugely successful KTM SOHC 450 cc 4-stroke engine. Engineered with long, hard, and fast rally stages in mind, it features more efficient performance throughout the rev range. For 2025, it is fitted with a newly designed SOHC cylinder head, with a reinforced clutch and gearbox, and the latest electronic fuel injection. The result is unrivaled power, speed, and outstanding reliability.

Triple Clamps

An all-new 23 mm offset CNC machined triple clamps with a rally-specific design ensures optimal stiffness and precise handling when charging through the desert. This, together with an in-house developed PHDS system and the proven SCOTT's steering damper, provides the confidence to keep it pinned in the faster, flowing rally stages.

Bodywork

Sharper, sleeker, and ready to take on the roughest rally stages, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has undergone a complete refresh. Redesigned fairings, a new tank layout, and a rally-specific seat provide improved ergonomics and seat comfort over longer distances. This means enhanced rider ergonomics, allowing for perfect control when standing by providing ample grip surfaces and freedom of movement.

Navigation Tower

An all-new navigation tower made of extra-light carbon fiber is well-protected behind the fairing with a new, narrower dashboard. This brings significantly improved aerodynamics, reduced turbulence, and less stress for the rider when blasting across the landscape at maximum speed. Warning lights are now also fully integrated and illuminate when the front or rear tank reserve is activated.

Fuel Tanks

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA boasts a total fuel volume of 35 liters. It has two separate 9-liter fuel tanks upfront and a self-supporting 16-liter fuel tank at the rear. These are controlled by two separate fuel pumps, which can be independently accessed and activated to supply fuel from either the front or the rear fuel tank. This works as a backup system and an additional means to monitor fuel levels.

Frame

An all-new hydro-formed, laser-cut, and hand-welded frame forms the backbone of the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA. Constructed with precisely calculated parameters of longitudinal and torsional flex, the frame provides exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and straight-line stability - all of which are crucial for rally racing. To achieve this, the rotating mass, forged steering head connection, and most of the frame tubes have been completely re-positioned., along with the tube wall thickness, for maximum reliability and specific rigidity in high-stress areas. The frame is finished with a long-lasting and eye-catching powder coating, while the rear self-supporting 16-liter fuel tank doubles as the subframe.

Swingarm

A new hollow, die-cast aluminum swingarm is designed for optimal stiffness and reliability at the lowest possible weight. The topology has also been optimized for optimal rigidity. This works together with a proven linkage system and fully adjustable shock absorber, which gives the rider confidence to go flat out. This also means maximum traction when accelerating and bottoming-out resistance for better stability and safety.

Suspension

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is fitted with the latest WP PRO COMPONENTS at both ends. In front, a 48 mm WP XACT PRO 7548 closed cartridge fork featuring sophisticated Cone Valve technology shines with outstanding damping performance. A fully adjustable WP XACT PRO 7750 shock takes care of the business in the rear. The suspension components provide full adjustability, improved damping, and higher bottoming reserves for ultimate stability.
