KTM MACINA LYCAN 771 GLORIOUS 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. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very well-rounded riding feeling and a progressive power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the MACINA LYCAN 771 GLORIOUS due to ist excellent range.

Solid endurance qualities are shown by the chassis of medium quality. At the brakes, KTM middle class four pistons brakes by SRAM are used. 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. If the Meta's chainstay length is less than 445, the short chainstay and, if the Reach's Relative Rating is less than 3, the relatively short reach characterise the KTM as a playful, agile bike. This makes it easy to navigate through winding trails. Small wheels are becoming rare, but with the MACINA LYCAN 771 GLORIOUS the 27.5 wheels pay off with a playful riding experience. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Short chainstays and and a slack seat angle make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard. The view of the weight of 25,9 kg reveals: There are lighter Trailbikes.
