The KTM 450 Rally is a behemoth of a motorcycle, born from the intense competition of the Dakar Rally and forged with the singular goal of winning. This is a bike that’s been battle-hardened by the likes of Marc Coma and Cyril Despres, and it shows in its impressive spec sheet: a 450cc carburetted single-cylinder engine, a chrome-molybdenum chassis, and top-shelf suspension and brakes.
But what truly sets the KTM 450 Rally apart is its engine character – a raw, unbridled power that’s more akin to a rally car than a motorcycle. The 5-speed gearbox and multi-disc hydraulically operated wet clutch only add to the sense of urgency, as does the bike’s lightweight 145kg dry weight.
As I take the KTM 450 Rally out for a spin, I’m immediately struck by the sense of freedom and exhilaration that comes with riding a bike with no fairings or screens to get in the way. The bike’s 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel carve through the road with ease, and the WP suspension soaks up bumps with aplomb.
The KTM 450 Rally is a true competition machine, built to win the toughest rallies on Earth – and now it’s yours to own, for a cool €25,000.
