The Austrians from KTM manage to integrate the damper almost completely into the design of the main frame. As a result, the design of the MACINA CHACANA 591 LTD is not only visually pleasing, but it also brings constructive advantages. Because the short bell cranks increase the stiffness of the frame.
The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Even gnarly inclines the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX provides a very well-rounded riding experience with a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the MACINA CHACANA 591 LTD with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the KTM MACINA CHACANA 591 LTD in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (4000) .

The frame on entry-level was stingy with control. Especially for heavy riders, the KTM brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. The components and the shifting seem less important for KTM. The components used here have a clear potential for improvement after a view at the competitors. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.

Conclusion


Expirience with the KTM MACINA CHACANA 591 LTD
