2009 KTM 450 EXC

Once a champion, always a champion. If one bike in the hard-fought E2 class has until now had what it takes to be the series winner, then that bike is the 450 EXC. And so it should stay! Ultra-modern technology is used both in the chassis and also in the ultra-powerful SOHC engine, which further perfects one of the most successful of off-road bikes.

The result is an extremely light, agile and immensely powerful high-tech race bike which once again raises the bar a whole step higher for the opposition.
