KTM MACINA CHACANA 791 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System 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,. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the MACINA CHACANA 791 due to ist excellent range.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. Thanks to the solid power, the Shimano brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons , KTM won't take any chances in that area. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. 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. Also, weight is an important factor when it comes to EMTB. The MACINA CHACANA 791 isn't exactly shining in this regard. There are lighter Trailbikes on the market.
