KTM has finally made the 450 Rally Replica available in the United States, a machine designed for riders who want something very close to a bike used in major desert rallies. This is a very niche model, built in limited numbers and aimed at experienced riders or enthusiasts with a serious budget.
For Italian readers, the key point is its direct link to Dakar racing: the frame, chassis setup and overall layout are made to handle navigation, speed and endurance. This is not a converted enduro, but a true ready-to-use rally bike, with maintenance needs and pricing to match its exotic status.
