KTM 450 EXC-R

You take one of the most victorious enduro machines, the 450 EXC Racing, and set your sights on raising its already high standards.

And the result is more than impressive. With a completely new engine and its trend-setting chassis, the 450 EXC-R raises the benchmark right from the start. Up-to-the-minute technology, optimized for hard enduro use, perfectly packaged in a high-tech racing bike that is unsurpassed. Extremely lightweight, agile and immensely powerful – and there is only one goal in the rough and tumble E2 class: the podium.
