Built for Dakar: The 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica
Built for Dakar: The 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica

Built in limited numbers and available from July 2026 at AMS, the 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica is KTM’s factory-derived rally machine for riders who want something much closer to Dakar than a standard offroad bike.

Just over 100 units of the KTM 450 Rally Replica will be available, so this is one for serious rally riders, high-level offroad riders or anyone looking for one of KTM’s most focused production machines.

From Rally To Reality

The KTM 450 Rally Replica is built around the same kind of thinking that has taken KTM to repeated Dakar success.

KTM says the bike has carried 4 different riders to the top of the Dakar podium since 2020, while also playing a major role at the top level of RallyGP.

For 2027, the idea is simple. Take the engineering, performance and settings developed through rally competition, then make them available in a limited production model.

This is not just a rally-inspired bike. It is designed to be close to a complete and race-ready machine from the start.

Built Around A 450cc Rally Engine

At the heart of the 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica is a 450cc fuel-injected SOHC engine.

It is paired with a six-speed gearbox, premium Brembo hydraulic clutch and rally-specific gearing.

A titanium Akrapovič exhaust system is also fitted, helping reduce weight while supporting the bike’s power delivery.

That gives the Rally Replica the kind of setup you would expect from a bike built for long-distance rally riding, where performance, control and reliability all matter.

Frame, Suspension And Handling

The frame is hydro-formed, laser-cut and hand-welded.

KTM has built it to balance longitudinal and torsional flex, helping give the rider better feedback while keeping the bike stable and controlled.

The 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica also gets fully customisable WP PRO Suspension, which is easily adjustable.

For riders taking on changing terrain, that level of adjustability matters. It gives you more room to set the bike up for the conditions, the route and your riding style.

Rally-Specific Details

This is where the Rally Replica separates itself from a normal offroad bike.

The bike is fitted with a number of rally-focused parts designed for long-distance riding and tough terrain.

Key details include:

  • Dual radiators for improved cooling and added reliability
  • CNC-machined triple clamps with a 23 mm offset
  • Aluminium alloy tapered handlebar
  • Rally-tested foam rubber grips
  • Wider footpegs for better grip
  • Brembo braking power
  • Three fuel tanks with 34.5 litres of total capacity
  • Carbon fibre navigation tower
  • Digital roadbook compatibility with intuitive controls
  • Powerful LED light

The fuel capacity is a big one. With three tanks and 34.5 litres available, the bike is built with distance in mind, not just short bursts of offroad riding.

Built For Long Days Standing Or Sitting

Rally bikes need to work across long distances, often with the rider moving between seated and standing positions throughout the day.

The KTM 450 Rally Replica is designed around that kind of riding.

The cockpit, bodywork and aerodynamics are built to support comfort, protection from the elements and control when quick reactions are needed.

That makes sense for a bike designed around rally use, where rider position and fatigue can make a real difference.

Back in KTM Orange for 2027

For 2027, the KTM 450 Rally Replica switches back to traditional KTM orange.

It keeps the bike in line with the familiar KTM look, while still making it clear this is a specialist rally machine rather than a standard enduro model.

Luciano Benavides Factory Edition

KTM is also releasing 8 units of the KTM 450 Rally Replica Luciano Benavides Factory Edition.

This version celebrates Luciano Benavides’ 2026 Dakar win with Red Bull KTM.

The Factory Edition goes further than the standard Rally Replica, with:

  • Full Red Bull KTM livery
  • Factory carbon parts, including brake discs and tank pads
  • LE numbered emblem on the frame
  • Selle Dalla Valle seat
  • Mousse-equipped Michelin Rally tyres

Customers of the Luciano Benavides Factory Edition also receive a VIP handover from the Dakar champion, a signed race jersey and support from the Red Bull KTM Rally Factory Team during the 2026 KTM Adventure Rally in Italy.

Limited Numbers Available

Just over 100 units of the 2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica will be available.

The Luciano Benavides Factory Edition is even more limited, with only 8 units being released.

That makes this a very rare opportunity to own one of KTM’s most specialist production bikes.
