GasGas is making ready to launch a brand new mannequin referred to as the RX 450F Duplicate that we imagine will probably be based mostly on the machine Sam Sunderland rode to victory within the 2022 Dakar Rally.
The RX 450F Duplicate mannequin identify seems on a just lately up to date record of autos permitted by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, Germany’s federal motor transport authority. The identify is comparable, although not an ideal match, for the RC 450F ridden by Sunderland and his teammate Daniel Sanders (who was no slouch himself in successful three levels) within the Dakar Rally.
Regardless of the variation within the identify, we suspect the RX 450F Duplicate is certainly the rally bike as a result of it’s listed with related data to KTM‘s personal 450 Rally Duplicate, and the RC 450F race bike was basically a rebadged model of the orange bike.
KTM has provided a rally reproduction for just a few years now, as has Husqvarna, with its model dubbed the FR 450 Rally. With GasGas victorious at this yr’s Dakar Rally, it appears logical that Pierer Mobility’s pink model would additionally get the reproduction remedy.
The KTM and Husqvarna rally reproduction fashions are basically an identical, with each proprietor’s manuals utilizing the identical picture on the duvet. The one distinction is the KTM guide is in grayscale so you possibly can’t see the tinge of blue on the Husqvarna’s forks.
The German kind approval doc doesn’t present many particulars in regards to the RC 450F Duplicate, besides that it’s powered by a 449cc engine, has a single seat and is assessed as an enduro motorbike. KTM, nonetheless, revealed the 2023 450 Rally Duplicate in June, and we are able to anticipate the bikes to be almost an identical. Which means the identical 449cc SOHC Single, rally racing gear ratios, WP suspension, Akrapovič exhaust, and secondary gas tank that doubles because the subframe.
