KTM’s Factory Rally 450 By design, KTM created a mechanically simple and robust machine in the Factory Rally 450 because the Dakar dishes out such a tough test. If a bike can’t cope with punishment it’s no use to the Factory, team or rider. At any pace of rider the Dakar is an immense test of a motorcycle, an unbelievably tough test mechanically at race winning speeds. For the 2017 Dakar that test will be 8188 kilometres in total, over 4000kms of which will be raced special stages. Rule changes in recent years means engine have to be fast but they have to go the distance reliably too or they won’t make that 12th stage finish line in Buenos Aires. These are statistics no MX or MotoGP machine can match. The chassis hasn’t changed much on KTM’s 450 Rally bike since conception in 2014. Though WP have made huge leaps and bounds in recent years it’s also true to say the 52mm Cone Valve forks and Trax suspension are not a million miles away from the parts you could fit to your bike. Sure, suspension is dialed in to individual rider’s needs and beefed-up to cope with the extra weight of the Rally bikes but there’s nothing too ‘Factory special’ about this WP kit. 62 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE JANUARY 2017
