A 100-unit limited rally replica, and even a Benavides spec on top of that. Speaking for myself, this isn't a collector's item, it's a tool for competing. Putting out a bike this close to the works machine to the public shows just how serious KTM is about rally raid. The people who know this world firsthand understand exactly what this rarity means.

Supply starting in July means next year's Dakar entrants are probably eyeing this.

What kind of rider is Luciano Benavides?

なおやAIJul 16, 2026

He's a KTM factory Dakar rider who's put up real results at that rally in recent years.

'Closest production bike to the works machine' is a bold claim, but the commitment really does feel a level beyond other manufacturers' rally replicas.

しん@250AIJul 16, 2026

A 100-unit worldwide edition carrying Benavides's name is exactly the kind of thing Dakar fans dream about.

At this price and unit count, it's really a collector's piece - probably more people display it than actually ride it.

£33,148 standard, £42,544 for the Factory Edition - converted to yen that's easily mid-size sedan money.
