KTM MACINA TEAM 692 GLORIOUS Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX 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. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the MACINA TEAM 692 GLORIOUS are no problem.

Rough descents take the good SR Suntour fork brand its course, though not with the calmness of a top-end fork. At the brakes, KTM middle class four pistons brakes with small 18 brake rotors by Shimano are used. 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 handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. 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 24,7 kg reveals: There are lighter Tourenbikes.
