KTM MACINA TEAM 693 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. Even angriest ramps the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX provides a very well-rounded riding experience with a progressive power delivery. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the MACINA TEAM 693 GLORIOUS are no problem.

On rough terrain, the MACINA TEAM 693 GLORIOUS, with its only average fork, lacks some control. Especially heavy riders should be aware that the Shimano only decelerates poorly. 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. 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 24,9 kg reveals: There are lighter Tourenbikes.
