Preperations are the key to succes in Le Dakar. It takes Months to get the motors ready for the Dakar 2020. Click on the button bellow to find out more about the preperations and where these preperations take place. On this page you can also find some information about our KTM 450 RALLY motor.

KTM has dominated the Dakar Rally since 2001. To keep the edge, a new factory race bike was unveiled at the 2018 Dakar Rally. Since then, the same overall design, layout and features have been available to non-factory riders with serious Dakar, rally raid and cross-country rally ambitions.
