At RideApart, we never miss an opportunity to cover the latest editions of KTM's 450 Rally Replica for years. And why would we? This is about as close as a rider can get to actually purchasing a factory race machine, certainly in the world of off-road race bikes. But we've never reported on the 450 Rally Replica's sale in the US, until the 2027 model.
For the first time, KTM is selling its 450 Rally Replica in the US, albeit in extremely limited numbers. I doubt these units will spend long on showroom floors, however, as when it comes to off-road rally supremacy, customers don't have a better option than this. If you don't already know, this model is born from the race bike that has essentially taken three different KTM riders to the top of the Dakar podium since 2023, most recently the Argentine winner, Luciano Benavides.
