2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA dominates the dunes

The KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is the most successful motorcycle to ever compete in the Dakar Rally. Not only did it win podiums alongside the sport's professionals, but its victories alongside private riders are just as impressive. With 10 out of 19 Dakar wins for KTM and 235 stage wins, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA remains the closest motorcycle to a factory race model available directly from dealer shops.

This motorcycle is designed, developed, and produced in Austria.

READY TO RACE motorcycles need racing stickers. With a simple graphic sticker kit for the completely white bodywork, the plastic elements remain untouched so each rider can create the ideal kit, with their team, sponsors, and individual needs.

The accuracy of the setup is essential to winning competition after competition. The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA comes equipped with fully adjustable WP Pro Components suspension, which can be finely tuned according to rider preferences, weight, and terrain. It also includes an adjustable handlebar.

Digital roadbook. Already familiar at many races in the Car, SSV, and Truck categories, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA model allows the use of a digital roadbook. This new addition not only completed many racing kilometers under harsh testing conditions, but it is also more precise, more user-friendly, and adds more functionality to the racing stage. The conventional paper roadbook system is still available with a buy-pack.

Equipped with an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system with rally specifications as standard, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA offroad model is ready to take on the competition. It features a specially hydroformed section at the bottom for maximum ground clearance and has an ultra-lightweight construction and unrivaled performance.

A new LED lighting system is integrated into the front mask of the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA, offering an overall 33% increase in brightness. Not only does it light the way to the bivouac during longer stages, but it also plays a vital role in early morning starts and in foggy weather conditions.

Engine management system. The EMS and the 44 mm throttle body are provided by Keihin and have proven to be the best combination for the KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA, benefiting from race-spec ECU maps in the combination of airbox, engine, and exhaust.

The power unit responsible for 10 Dakar victories is based on the highly successful KTM SOHC 450 cc 4-stroke engine. Designed for fast, long, and difficult rally stages, it delivers efficient performance across the entire rev range. For 2025, it is equipped with a newly designed SOHC cylinder head, improved clutch and gearbox, and the latest electronic fuel injection. The result is unmatched power and speed, along with impressive reliability. The redesigned SOHC cylinder head features newly shaped ports to enhance performance.

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA debuts a new radiator concept. With two independent radiators instead of a single one, it dramatically improves cooling efficiency. This also provides the benefit of having a spare radiator in case one is damaged.

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has a generous 35-liter fuel tank. It also features two separate fuel tanks, 9 liters at the front and a 16-liter tank at the rear, controlled by two separate fuel pumps, which can be accessed independently and activated to supply fuel either from the rear tank or the front tank. This functions as a backup system and an additional means to monitor fuel levels.

Maximum stability. The new 23 mm offset with CNC triple clamps and rally-specific design ensures optimal rigidity and precise handling when riding through the desert. This, along with the PHDS system developed by the manufacturer and the proven SCOTT steering damper, provides the confidence to tackle stage after stage at a smooth yet fast pace.

Bodywork – sharper, sleeker, and ready to face the toughest rally stages, the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA benefits from a complete refresh. The redesigned bodywork, new layout for the fuel tank, and race-specific seat offer increased ergonomics and comfort on long distances. This ensures improved ergonomics for the rider, allowing perfect control while standing by providing ample grip surfaces and freedom of movement.

The new navigation tower, made from extra-lightweight carbon fiber, is well-protected behind the bodywork with a new narrower dashboard. This significantly improves aerodynamics, reduces turbulence, and reduces the stress felt by the rider when covering high-speed distances. The warning lights are now fully integrated and illuminate when the front or rear fuel reserve is activated.

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA is equipped with the latest WP PRO components at both ends. At the front, the 48 mm WP XACT PRO 7548 fork with a closed cartridge features sophisticated Cone Valve technology with incredible damping performance. The fully adjustable WP XACT PRO 7750 shock absorber handles the rear. The suspension components offer full adjustability, improved damping, and higher reserves for ultimate stability.

The new hydroformed frame, manually welded and laser-cut, forms the backbone of the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA. Built with precisely calculated longitudinal and torsional flex parameters, the frame offers exceptional feedback to the rider, energy absorption, and straight-line stability, all of which are crucial for rally racing. To achieve this, the rotating mass, forged steering connection, and most of the frame tubes have been completely repositioned, along with the wall thickness of the tube, for maximum reliability and specific rigidity in high-stress areas. The frame is finished with a durable and attractive coating, while the 16-liter rear tank doubles as the subframe.

The die-cast aluminum swingarm is built for optimal rigidity and reliability with the lowest possible weight. The topology has also been updated for optimal rigidity. This works together with the proven system and fully adjustable shock absorber, giving the rider confidence when riding in any conditions. It also means maximum traction during acceleration and increased resistance for stability and safety.

Brembo components guarantee total performance and braking reliability. The 300 mm front and 240 mm rear discs deliver superior stopping power and overall control, inspiring confidence in all conditions.

The reliable electric start and lightweight 4.5 Ah Li-Ion battery handle the starting procedures of the 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA. Weighing much less than a conventional lead battery, the Li-Ion battery provides reliable power to the electronic systems and an easy start, especially in low temperatures.

The 2025 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA features a fully integrated and easy-to-install storage solution without tools, with integrated space on the engine casing for essential tools. Racers have easy access to the tools needed in the dunes, in case any unpleasant situations arise.

The black high-strength EXCEL alloy rims are coupled with die-cast aluminum nipples through the use of lightweight spokes for maximum durability and stability. This combination has proven to be the best solution for intense racing across all types of terrain.
