Bultaco Is Back! Meet the New Rally GT 300 — A Spanish Legend Reborn
A legendary Spanish motorcycle name is back on the road. Bultaco has returned with the new Rally GT 300, an affordable adventure motorcycle designed for everyday riding, highways and light off-road adventures.
The new Bultaco Rally GT 300.
The return of Bultaco is one of the most interesting developments in the European motorcycle market in 2026. The historic Spanish name has entered a new chapter with the Rally GT 300, the first motorcycle created through Bultaco's collaboration with Spanish company Leonart.
Rather than attempting to recreate one of Bultaco's famous classic motorcycles, the new Rally GT 300 takes a completely different approach. It is designed as a modern, practical and relatively affordable adventure bike for riders who want one motorcycle capable of handling city streets, highways and unpaved roads.
First deliveries are scheduled for September 2026.
A New Beginning for Bultaco
Bultaco became famous for its motorcycles in trials, enduro, motocross and road racing during the second half of the 20th century. The original company eventually disappeared from the motorcycle market, making the return of the Bultaco name particularly significant for motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Rally GT 300 represents a new strategy. Instead of building a retro replica, Bultaco is entering the modern adventure-bike segment with a motorcycle designed around everyday usability.
According to Bultaco, the Rally GT 300 is the first project resulting from its collaboration with Leonart and has been developed with the involvement of the Bultaco Racing team.
What Exactly Is the Bultaco Rally GT 300?
The Rally GT 300 is a compact adventure motorcycle with a strong focus on practicality. Its 19-inch front wheel is designed to provide a balance between road handling and stability on rougher surfaces.
The motorcycle uses a conventional gasoline engine rather than an electric powertrain, marking an important change from Bultaco's previous modern comeback attempts.
Its combination of relatively low weight, modest engine capacity and long-travel adventure-bike proportions makes it particularly interesting for new riders and commuters looking for an affordable entry into the adventure segment.
292cc Single-Cylinder Engine
At the heart of the Rally GT 300 is a 292cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with DOHC and four valves.
The engine uses Bosch electronic fuel injection and produces a claimed 28 horsepower at 9,500 rpm, while maximum torque reaches 25 Nm.
Power is sent through a six-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch.

Built for More Than City Streets
The Rally GT 300's adventure-bike design is not purely cosmetic. Bultaco has equipped the motorcycle with a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, giving it a versatile setup for both paved roads and light off-road riding.
Ground clearance is listed at 260 mm, which gives the motorcycle useful clearance when riding over uneven terrain.
The bike also uses an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock, combined with disc brakes and ABS.

A 16-Liter Fuel Tank
One of the practical advantages of the Rally GT 300 is its relatively large 16-liter fuel tank for a motorcycle in this class.
A larger tank can be useful for riders who regularly travel outside urban areas, particularly where fuel stations are not always available along shorter routes.
Bultaco has positioned the motorcycle as a machine that can be used during the week for commuting and then taken on weekend adventures.
Modern Technology: Built-In Dash Camera
The Rally GT 300 features a modern digital display.
One of the more unusual features of the new Bultaco is its integrated DashCam.
The camera can automatically record video in five-minute loops. This could provide an additional safety feature for riders while also allowing them to record interesting road trips and adventures.
For a motorcycle positioned at €3,999, the inclusion of a built-in camera gives the Rally GT 300 an interesting technological advantage.
5-Inch Digital Display
The motorcycle also features a digital display designed to provide essential riding information.
The system can show information including speed, engine revolutions, selected gear and fuel level, while the motorcycle also includes a tire-pressure monitoring indicator.
Full LED lighting and a USB connection add to the motorcycle's everyday practicality.

How Much Does the New Bultaco Cost?
The Rally GT 300 is listed at €3,999 in Spain, putting it toward the affordable end of the adventure motorcycle market.
The first deliveries are scheduled for September 2026.
At this stage, availability outside Spain should be checked with Bultaco or Leonart because market launch plans, pricing and equipment can vary by country.
First deliveries: September 2026
Engine: 292cc single-cylinder
Power: 28 hp
Weight: 150 kg
The China Connection
There is an important detail behind the new Bultaco's return.
The Rally GT 300 is the result of a collaboration with Spanish company Leonart and is based on the Leonart Rally 300 platform. The motorcycle is manufactured in China rather than being produced in Spain.
This is an increasingly common strategy in the modern motorcycle industry, where European brands can combine local design, branding, development and distribution with manufacturing partnerships in China.
For Bultaco, the strategy allows the historic name to return to the motorcycle market without attempting to recreate the industrial infrastructure of its past.
Is It Really a New Motorcycle?
The answer requires some explanation.
The Bultaco Rally GT 300 is new as a Bultaco product and represents the first model in the brand's new motorcycle chapter. However, it is not an entirely new motorcycle platform developed from scratch.
Bultaco officially describes it as the first model born from its collaboration with Leonart and developed on the Leonart Rally 300 platform.
That makes the Rally GT 300 more accurately described as a new Bultaco-branded collaboration model rather than a completely ground-up motorcycle platform.
Who Is the Rally GT 300 Designed For?
The motorcycle appears particularly well suited to riders who want a relatively simple and affordable adventure bike rather than a high-performance touring machine.
It could appeal to:
- New adventure-bike riders.
- Urban commuters.
- A2-license riders where applicable.
- Weekend adventure riders.
- Riders looking for a lightweight alternative to larger ADV motorcycles.
- Motorcyclists who want a motorcycle that can handle both asphalt and light trails.
Bultaco Rally GT 300 vs. Larger Adventure Bikes
The biggest advantage of the Rally GT 300 is not outright performance. Instead, it is accessibility.
A 150-kg motorcycle with a 292cc engine can be easier to manage than a large 800cc or 1,000cc adventure motorcycle, especially in urban traffic and on rough roads.
The trade-off is obvious: 28 horsepower will not deliver the same high-speed performance or effortless highway acceleration as a larger adventure motorcycle.
But that may not be the point.
Key Strengths
- Affordable €3,999 starting price in Spain.
- 150 kg claimed weight.
- 292cc liquid-cooled engine.
- 28 hp and 25 Nm.
- 19-inch front wheel.
- 260 mm ground clearance.
- 16-liter fuel tank.
- ABS.
- Full LED lighting.
- Built-in DashCam.
- Digital display.
- USB connection.
Potential Weaknesses
- Only 28 horsepower.
- 883 mm seat height may be tall for some riders.
- No riding modes are listed in the official specifications.
- No traction-control system is listed.
- It is based on the Leonart Rally 300 platform rather than being an entirely new platform.
- International availability remains limited compared with established motorcycle brands.
Final Verdict
The Bultaco Rally GT 300 is not trying to be the fastest adventure motorcycle on the market — and that could be exactly why it matters.
With a 292cc engine, 28 horsepower, 150 kg weight, 19-inch front wheel, 260 mm ground clearance and a 16-liter tank, the motorcycle is aimed at riders who value practicality and affordability over extreme performance.
Its €3,999 price in Spain makes it particularly interesting in a segment where adventure motorcycles can quickly become expensive.
The biggest story, however, may be the Bultaco name itself. After years away from conventional motorcycle production, the legendary Spanish brand is attempting another comeback — this time with a practical gasoline-powered adventure motorcycle developed with Leonart.
If Bultaco can expand its dealer network and establish strong after-sales support, the Rally GT 300 could become the beginning of a much bigger comeback.
