The Rally sits on the same tubular trellis frame as the other FTR 1200 models. However, it gets slightly tweaked ergonomics such as a more upright riding position and taller handlebars.
Besides that, it houses spoked wheels and Scorpion Rally STR tires that are designed for off-roading conditions.
The motorcycle also offers a fully-digital instrument cluster and an all-LED lighting setup.
