"When I heard that KTM was about to make the 450 SX-F Herlings Replica I was honored and delighted – said Jeffrey Herlings -. My career is closely linked to KTM, we have celebrated victories and suffered together the numerous injuries suffered over the years, always united like a true family, in the paddock as well as at the headquarters in Mattighofen. This season has been incredible and despite the collarbone injury, thanks to the support of the team I was able to come back stronger than before and win the title in front of the home crowd. It's a dream come true, just as it's a dream to see a replica of my racing bike made, which I hope will be appreciated by KTM customers".
