KTM MACINA KAPOHO 7971 Review

The Performance Line CX Smart System from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Steep ramps are no problem for the Bosch motor. Additionally, the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System stands out with a very natural riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

Even nasty descents get smoothened by the good Fox chassis. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the MACINA KAPOHO 7971. With their four pistons the Shimano brake brakes good. Taking a holistic approach also includes looking at the gearing and components. The components are of good qualtiy and offer no reason for criticism here. 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. Due to the short chainstays and the shallow seat angle , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting. 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. The view of the weight of 27,4 kg reveals: There are lighter All Mountains.
