2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica Breaks Cover

• KTM is celebrating its 2026 Dakar victory with the Rally Replica
• A special Luciano Benavides Factory edition also revealed
• To be limited to just over 100 units

KTM is celebrating its 2026 Dakar victory by unveiling two limited-edition versions of its 450 Rally Replica, including a special Luciano Benavides factory edition. As expected, both carry steep price tags. The standard 450 Rally Replica will be limited to just over 100 units and is priced at £33,148 (approximately Rs. 42.44 lakh). The Benavides factory edition costs significantly more at £42,544 (Rs. 54.47 lakh).

The motorcycle is based on KTM’s Dakar-winning platform, which has secured four titles since 2020 with different riders. It is powered by a 450cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed gearbox and a Brembo hydraulic clutch with rally-specific gearing. A key highlight is the large 34.5-litre fuel tank, designed for long rally stages. The bike also gets a lightweight titanium Akrapovič exhaust, WP suspension at both ends, and Brembo brakes, although detailed specifications are yet to be revealed.

Other features include dual radiators, a tapered aluminium handlebar with rally grips, and wider footpegs for better control. It also comes with carbon fibre parts such as brake disc guards and tank pads, along with a numbered limited-edition badge on the frame. Visually, the standard version gets KTM’s signature orange colour, while the Benavides edition features full Red Bull KTM factory livery. The 450 Rally Replica will be available abroad from July, with bookings already open.
