O modelo 450 Rally Replica da KTM recebe uma atualização de transmissão para 2021, desenvolvida pelos pilotos Toby Price, Matthias Walkner e Sam Sunderland da Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Rally.
O modelo 450 Rally Replica de produção limitada da KTM, a escolha de tantos corredores de rally corsários em todo o mundo, sempre se equipara às especificações das motos de corrida KTM Factory – uma bicicleta de cliente projetada para atender às mais exigentes demandas da competição de rally. outro. Em um mundo onde os apelidos de réplicas de corrida geralmente são extraviados, não há dúvidas sobre as credenciais dessa máquina.
For 2021, KTM has made improvements to further improve that reliability with a brand-new gearbox, revised shift mechanism and a wider spread of gear ratios – the direct influence of gearbox manufacturers PANKL Racing Systems working alongside the KTM Motorsport department and the Factory Rally team.
KTM say the three Red Bull KTM Factory Racing riders – all of whom have sampled Dakar Rally winning success in the last half a decade – assisted in the finalization of gearing ratios in the new Replica model. The result is the 2021 450 Rally will have the same gear ratios as those found on the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Rally machines.
Stefan Huber, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Rally Team Leader explains: “The work goes on! We’re proud of the 2021 KTM 450 Rally Replica. With this model we have already set the bar very high in giving the customers a product so close to what we prepare and take to rallies across the world.
“Of course, we always make new discoveries, and this means the 2021 bike is a significant upgrade. The gearbox construction and configuration will make a difference to the riders who want to push the KTM 450 Rally Replica. It is crucial for us to be able to transfer what we learn directly into the hands of KTM riders. We’re here to win races but making a better product is very important and satisfying. I personally look forward to seeing this incredible machine in racing action at the upcoming 2021 Dakar Rally!”
The 2021 KTM 450 Rally Replica is a limited edition model restricted to 85 units worldwide. The price tag is fixed at EUR 25.900 (plus VAT & shipping) with availability from September 2020 onwards.
