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 792 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 Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. The very natural motor control and the dynamic power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the MACINA CHACANA 792 due to ist excellent range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the KTM MACINA CHACANA 792 ⬤ 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. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, KTM uses average parts. 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 will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. With weight, the MACINA CHACANA 792 is generally one of the heavier e-bikes on the market.
