KTM has officially launched the next evolution of its rally dominance: the limited 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA. Built on decades of Dakar-winning expertise, the new model is crafted for elite off-road racers worldwide. Only 150 units will be produced, with an ultra-limited run of 5 additional units as part of the special 2026 KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA SANDERS EDITION.

Precision-Engineered for Extreme Competition

The KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA has long been the go-to machine for serious rally contenders, with proven success across RallyGP, Rally2, and even the grueling Malle Moto class. Developed in collaboration with KTM’s championship-winning athletes like Marc Coma, Matthias Walkner, Toby Price, and Daniel Sanders, the 2026 model sets new standards for reliability, performance, and rider-focused engineering.

Powering the machine is a 450 cc fuel-injected SOHC engine mated to a six-speed transmission and KTM’s race-proven hydraulic clutch. Dual radiators provide optimal cooling, while the expertly welded frame and die-cast aluminum swingarm ensure balance, durability, and stability even on the roughest terrain.
