KTM 450 EXCLimited Champions Edition (2009)

KTM’s storied history in motorsports is a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence, with an impressive 160+ World Championship titles amassed over the past 35 years.

The journey began in 1974, when Russian rider Gennadij Moiseev secured KTM’s first 250cc World Championship title, marking the starting point of an unparalleled success story that has captivated the world of motorsports.

This summer, KTM is proud to introduce the limited Champions Edition motorcycle, designed to honor the past champions who have helped shape the brand’s legacy. Influenced by the racing design of two-time Motocross World Champion Heinz Kinigadner, the Champions Edition bike boasts a distinctive look, complete with a Red Bull Kini Graphics kit, headlight and taillight package, and an array of KTM PowerParts items that truly set it apart from standard models.

The heart of the Champions Edition bike is its powerful, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, delivering a thrilling riding experience that embodies the spirit of KTM’s championship-winning heritage.
