Motorcycle specifications KTM450 SX-F Herlings replica 2019 Pilot and master

It's been a memorable MXGP season in which Herlings has truly endured the ups and downs of motocross and, despite a mid-season collarbone injury, the KTM star has dominated the majority of races in 2018. The 24-year-old clinches his first FIM MXGP World Championship title in the penultimate race of the season with an incredible 14 1-1 series so far. As the celebrations for Herlings' fourth world victory get underway, KTM launches the 450 SX-F Herlings replica in honor of the Dutch rider.

This KTM 450 SX-F with Herlings' coat of arms is a limited-edition European model and will arrive at dealers in January 2019. This bike benefits from numerous upgrades over the standard model, including an Akrapovic muffler, a Hinson clutch cover and a machined fuel filler cap.

The most READY TO RACE bike in KTM's motocross range, it features Factory wheels with anodized hubs, a Factory fork crown, a composite skid plate, a Dalla Valle saddle, a factory starter on the fork and an orange crown. This 4-speed model also features a unique Red Bull KTM deco kit with a Herlings design and an original orange frame.

"I was so proud when I was told there would be a KTM 450 SX-F Herlings replica. I've been with KTM since the start of my career, we've been through some tough times and celebrated many others together - we're a family, not just in the paddock, but also in Austria, so this bike is really special to me. It's been an incredible year for us, and even with the injury I was able to come back strong and win the championship. To do it in front of my home crowd was incredible. It's an honor to have a model that replicates my race bike - I hope the public will like it," said Jeffrey Herlings.

Herlings won 31 of the 38 rounds this season to claim MXGP victory, while teammate Tony Cairoli secured second place in the standings ahead of the final race in Imola, Italy.

"Jeffrey's season is a great story and he's been exceptional - we're proud to see him take the FIM MXGP World Championship title. Towards the end of last season he was very strong and winning the race in America was a big moment for him, this year was just immense. After the Cairoli replica model we released a few years ago, we wanted to honor Jeffrey's achievements with the KTM 450 SX-F Herlings replica. This special model is an excellent package for European racers looking for the ultimate READY TO RACE machine", commented Joachim Sauer, KTM Offroad Product Manager.
