KTM MACINA LYCAN 671 LTD GLORIOUS Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the MACINA LYCAN 671 LTD GLORIOUS are no problem.

As the hits get faster and harder the average chassis limits the downhill fun. Especially for heavy riders, the KTM brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, KTM uses average parts. If the Meta's chainstay length is less than 445, the short chainstay and, if the Reach's Relative Rating is less than 3, the relatively short reach characterise the KTM as a playful, agile bike. This makes it easy to navigate through winding trails. The 27.5 inch wheels additionally emphasize the playful character. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward. It's no use beating around the bush: the geometry of KTM doesn't suit our taste. Competitors are closer to the cutting edge here.
