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 691 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. 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,. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the KTM MACINA CHACANA 691 LTD in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (5000) .

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. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Oh boy, with the geometry you have to be ready to make compromises from our perspective. The most important measurements and angles fall slightly out of the grid of good bikes. The view of the weight of 25,6 kg reveals: There are lighter Trailbikes.
